Blue print of the team competition plan is called

A.Tactics
B.Skill
C.Technique
D.Strategy

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

The blueprint of a team's competition plan is called strategy. A strategy is the overall plan for a competition or a season, drawn up beforehand to reach the objectives of the team.

Tactics are the way the strategy is applied against a particular opponent in a match. A skill is a learned action, and technique is the way a movement is carried out, so neither is a plan for the team. A coach, for instance, draws up a strategy for the season and then chooses tactics for each match from it.

Performance related fitness includes

I. leg explosive strength
II. Cardio-vascular endurance
III. Reaction ability
IV. Flexibility
Find the correct combination

A.I, II
B.II, III
C.I, III
D.II, IV

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Performance related fitness includes leg explosive strength and reaction ability, which are I and III. These abilities decide how well a person performs in sport.

Cardiovascular endurance and flexibility, II and IV, are classed by the key as part of health related fitness, which is concerned with the health of the body, so the combinations containing them are wrong. Health related fitness covers cardiovascular endurance, body composition, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility, so those items go to the other group.

Progression of load proceeds

I. Linearly II. Stepwise
III. Stimulus wise IV. Circularly
Find the correct combination

A.I, III
B.II, IV
C.I, II
D.II, III

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

The load in training progresses linearly (steadily increasing) and stepwise (increasing in steps with a pause to adapt), which are I and II.

Stimulus wise and circular progression are not the usual patterns of load progression, so the combinations with III or IV are wrong. Wave-like and undulating progression is also described in training theory, but the key does not count stimulus-wise or circular progression.

Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R) :

Assertion (A) : Agility is an essential component of motor fitness.
Reason (R) : Agility is determined by neuromuscular coordination. In context of the above two statements, which one of the following is correct ?
Codes :

A.(A) is right, but (R) is wrong.
B.(A) is wrong, but (R) is right.
C.Both (A) and (R) are right.
D.Both (A) and (R) are wrong.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Both statements are right. Agility is an essential component of motor fitness, since it is the ability to change direction quickly. It depends on neuromuscular coordination, which governs how fast and exactly the muscles respond.

The choices that call either statement wrong are rejected, since each is true. Agility tests such as the shuttle run and the Illinois test measure how quickly the body can change direction while moving at speed.

Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R) :

Assertion (A) : Tactics is execution of movements with economy.
Reason (R) : It is regulation of one's action in line of preventing the opponent to regulate his action. In context of the above two statements, which one of the following is correct ?
Codes :

A.(A) is right, but (R) is wrong.
B.(A) is wrong, but (R) is right.
C.Both (A) and (R) are right.
D.Both (A) and (R) are wrong.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The assertion is wrong and the reason is right. Execution of movements with economy describes technique, not tactics. Tactics is the regulation of one's own action in order to prevent the opponent from regulating his, which is the reason as it is stated.

The choices that accept the assertion as right are wrong. In team games the same idea of tactics is applied in positioning, set plays and the response to the other side's movements.

Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R) :

Assertion (A) : Talent indicators are the products of heredity and environment.
Reason (R) : They are, the base of performance prognosis. In context of the above two statements, which one of the following is correct ?
Codes :

A.(A) and (R) both are right.
B.(A) and (R) both are wrong.
C.(A) is right and (R) is wrong.
D.(A) is wrong and (R) is right.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

Both statements are right. Talent indicators, the signs that show talent in a young person, are the product of heredity and environment together. They are also the base for prognosis of performance, since they are used to predict future performance.

The choices that call either statement wrong are rejected, since neither is false. Coaches use such indicators, for example body build and speed of reaction in children, when they select young players for training.

Match the following motor components with their training methods :

Motor Component	Training Method
I. Flexibility	1. Fartlek
II. Endurance	2. Control and Regulation
III. Agility	3. Plyometrics
IV. Strength	4. Post-Isometric input

Codes : I II III IV

A.3 4 1 2
B.2 1 3 4
C.4 1 2 3
D.1 2 3 4

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

The correct matching is I-4, II-1, III-2, IV-3. Flexibility is trained by post-isometric input, that is, stretching after an isometric contraction. Endurance is trained by fartlek, speed play of varied pace. Agility is trained by control and regulation of movements, and strength by plyometrics, jump training.

This is code (C). The other codes pair fartlek with flexibility or plyometrics with endurance, which does not fit the method. Such methods are matched to the quality being developed, so that each motor ability is trained in the way that suits it.

Match List - I with List - II and select the correct option using the codes given below :

List - I	List - II
I. Preparatory Period-I	1. Achievement of goals
II. Preparatory Period-II	2. Recuperation
III. Competition Period	3. Development of technique
IV. Transition Period	4. Formulation of conditional and technical base

Codes : I II III IV

A.4 3 1 2
B.3 1 2 4
C.1 2 4 3
D.2 4 3 1

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

The correct matching is I-4, II-3, III-1, IV-2. In the training year the first preparatory period lays the conditional and technical base. The second preparatory period develops technique. The competition period aims at the achievement of goals, and the transition period is for recuperation.

This is code (A). The other codes put recuperation against a preparatory period or the achievement of goals against the transition period, which reverses the logic of the year. The yearly plan of an athlete follows these periods in order, with the transition period coming between one season and the next.

Development of maximum strength should start at the age of

A.8 - 10 years
B.11 - 13 years
C.14 - 15 years
D.16 - 18 years

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

Development of maximum strength should begin at the age of 16 to 18 years. Before that, in childhood and early adolescence, training stresses general strength and strength endurance with the body's own weight, because the bones, tendons and nervous system are still maturing.

The earlier age bands of 8-10, 11-13 and 14-15 years are therefore too early for training aimed at maximum strength, with heavy loads and few repetitions, which is why they are not the keyed answer.

Incomplete recovery is vital in

A.Continuous method of training
B.Interval training
C.Fartlek
D.Cross country

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

Incomplete recovery between work bouts is the key feature of interval training, where the rest interval is deliberately kept short so the next effort starts before the body has fully recovered, which loads the heart and circulation.

The continuous method has no rest breaks at all, so recovery does not arise. Fartlek (speed play) varies pace without fixed rest intervals, and cross country is a continuous run over varied terrain, so none of these is defined by incomplete recovery between repetitions.
