Practice questions

Q1A coach notices that players know the tackling skill in kabaddi but repeatedly fail when the raider changes direction near the end of the raid. What should the coach mainly add to practice?

A Only a longer cool-down, because the fault is primarily post-exercise recovery

B Memorisation of every possible raider action before allowing live practice

C Conditioned defensive drills in which the raider varies tempo, direction, and retreat path

D More isolated tackling repetitions with no raider movement or score condition

Explanation

Tactical coaching should connect the skill to the opponent's likely actions and the match situation. In kabaddi, success depends not only on the tackling technique but also on reading tempo, angle, retreat, and timing, so conditioned live drills are more suitable than static practice alone.

Q2A gymnast coordinates arm, trunk and leg movements into one goal-directed action. Which coordinative ability is most directly shown?

A Long-time endurance

B Maximum strength

C Coupling ability

D Passive flexibility

Explanation

Coupling ability is a type of coordinative ability. It is especially visible when different body segments must work together accurately, as in gymnastics or team-game skills requiring linked limb and trunk actions.

Q3A player lifts a heavy medicine ball against resistance during conditioning. Which motor ability is being primarily trained?

A Reaction ability

B Flexibility

C Balance ability

D Strength

Explanation

Strength is the motor component involved when an individual acts against resistance. Medicine-ball lifting mainly requires muscular force, so it is a strength-development activity rather than a flexibility, balance or reaction drill.

Q4Which set correctly represents common conditional motor abilities emphasised in basic sports training?

A Strength, speed, endurance and flexibility

B Umpiring, scoring, seeding and fixture drawing

C Motivation, leadership, aggression and interest

D Balance, rhythm, orientation and reaction ability

Explanation

Conditional motor abilities are the physical capacities on which many sport actions depend. Strength, speed, endurance and flexibility are the usual examples at this level. Balance, rhythm and reaction ability are important too, but they are better classified as coordinative abilities rather than conditional abilities.

Q5Which example most clearly represents a tactic rather than a technique in a team game?

A Learning the correct foot placement for a lay-up

B Using a quick counter-attack when the opposing defence is temporarily unbalanced

C Keeping the wrist firm while executing a chest pass

D Repeating the grip position for a racket stroke without opposition

Explanation

Technique refers to the efficient mechanics of performing a skill, while tactics concern choosing and applying actions according to the opponent, space, time and score situation. A counter-attack decision uses tactical judgement in live play.

6Which statement correctly identifies flexibility in physical education?

AIt is the ability to maintain maximum running speed under fatigue.

BIt is the ability to react instantly to a whistle or visual signal.

CIt is the ability to execute movements with greater amplitude or range around a joint.

DIt is the ability to produce maximum force in one contraction.

7During practice of a new skill, several students are repeating the same faulty movement. What should a coach do first?

ACancel the skill lesson and shift permanently to classroom theory

BIncrease the speed of the drill so students have less time to notice the error

CObserve the performance, identify the specific fault, and give corrective feedback or assistance

DIgnore the fault until the end of the unit so that practice time is not disturbed

8In sports training, which set best represents the major motor abilities developed for performance?

AStrength, speed, endurance, flexibility and coordinative ability

BAttendance, punctuality, uniform, diet and rest

CMemory, imagination, reasoning, attention and language

DHeight, weight, age, gender and body mass index

9Which principle is best shown when a physical education teacher first assesses a learner's present fitness and then increases the running load gradually?

APrinciple of no recovery between sessions

BPrinciple of identical load for every learner

CPrinciples of individualisation and progressive overload

DPrinciple of random practice without a goal

10A teacher is introducing a cartwheel to Class VIII students. Which coaching sequence is most appropriate for skill acquisition?

AReplace demonstration with a written definition of the skill and avoid physical practice

BAsk every student to attempt the full cartwheel immediately and correct only after the final test

CBegin with cooling down, skip warm-up, and conduct the main practice without supervision

DDemonstrate the phases, practise movements in parts, combine them progressively, then observe and correct errors

11In a school-level coaching session for a team game, which sequence best represents sound coaching practice for teaching a new sport skill?

ABrief explanation, correct demonstration, supervised practice, observation with correction, and short consolidation

BFitness testing first, selection of the fastest players, and postponement of skill practice until competition day

CLong lecture on rules, no physical demonstration, and independent practice without coach observation

DImmediate full-match play, scoring pressure, punishment for errors, and review only after the tournament

12Which statement best distinguishes a mesocycle from a microcycle in periodized training?

AA microcycle must contain exactly six sessions or it cannot be part of a periodized plan.

BA microcycle is always one competitive season, whereas a mesocycle is always one training session.

CA mesocycle is a block that usually contains multiple microcycles; microcycles contain training days and sessions.

DA mesocycle is only a psychological recovery phase and cannot include technical or physical training.

13In a strength programme, an athlete gradually increases resistance, repetitions, or training duration after the earlier load becomes easy. This is the best example of which combined training idea?

ASkill imitation

BStatic stretching

CTapering only

DProgressive overload

14During a lead-up football activity, the coach reduces the playing area, limits each player to two touches, and asks guided questions such as 'Where is the free space?' Which coaching purpose is mainly served?

ATo teach only the written rules of football without involving game play

BTo avoid decision-making and make players follow only fixed commands

CTo convert the session into a pure endurance test unrelated to football skill

DTo develop tactical awareness by linking technique with perception, spacing, and quick choices

15A coach wants to improve a beginner sprinter's quick acceleration over 30 metres. Which training choice is most directly linked with developing speed ability?

AOnly classroom discussion on the rules of track events

BShort sprints with full recovery and attention to starting technique

CLong slow jogging for forty minutes every day

DStatic stretching held for long durations as the main workout
