11. What is special seeding in tournaments ?

Ans. Seeding: Seeding is a process by which good teams are fitted in fixture in such a way that stronger teams do not meet each other in earlier rounds. This seeding method is only possible if the standard of the teams is known beforehand. This method is applied to keep up the interest of spectators alive till the last match. On account of their previous performances these teams or players are kept in separate halves.

Further it is well known in advance that some of the top ranking players or teams are generally drawn in fixture in such a way that they are fitted straight away into the quarter finals. This is known as special seeding method. Though this arbitrary method of drawing fixture may be felt as unfair it is desirable to keep the interest sustained in the tournament. Example: Fixture Seeding: Number of teams = 11; Bye = 16 – 11 = 5 byes So 4 seeded teams shall be given byes and 5th bye would go to any other team. Special Seeding: Number of teams = 20;

Teams in each quarter = 20/4 = 5 teams Last year semifinalists are given special seeding or 4. top rankings.

Ans.  

  1. Aerobic exercises
    Aerobic exercises are endurance-type exercises in which a person’s muscles move in a rhythmic and coordinated manner for a sustained period.

    People refer to these exercises as aerobic because they require oxygen to generate energy. Aerobic exercises increase a person’s heart rate and breathing rate to supply more oxygen to the body’s muscles.   
  2. Anaerobic exercises
    Anaerobic exercises are those that involve short, intense bursts of physical activity.

    These exercises are anaerobic because they do not involve an increase in the absorption and transportation of oxygen. During anaerobic exercise, the body breaks down glucose stores in the absence of oxygen, leading to a buildup of lactic acid in the muscles.

21.  Appraise 4 points on ethics in Sports.

Ans. Ethics in sport requires four key virtues: fairness, integrity, responsibility, and respect.

Fairness

  • All athletes and coaches must follow established rules and guidelines of their respective sport.
  • Teams that seek an unfair competitive advantage over their opponent create an uneven playing field which violates the integrity of the sport.

Integrity

  • Similar to fairness, in that any athlete who seeks to gain an advantage over his or her opponent by means of a skill that the game itself was not designed to test demonstrates a lack of personal integrity and violates the integrity of the game. For example, when a player fakes being injured or fouled in soccer, he or she is not acting in a sportsmanlike manner because the game of soccer is not designed to measure an athlete’s ability to flop. Faking is a way of intentionally deceiving an official into making a bad call, which only hurts the credibility of the officiating and ultimately undermines the integrity of the game.

 Responsibility

  • To be sportsmanlike requires players and coaches to take responsibility for their performance, as well as their actions on the field. This includes their emotions.
  • Many times athletes and coaches will make excuses as to why they lost the game. The most popular excuse is to blame the officiating. The honorable thing to do instead is to focus only on the aspects of the game that you can control, i.e., your performance, and to question yourself about where you could have done better.

Respect

  • All athletes should show respect for teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials.
  • All coaches should show respect for their players, opponents, and officials.
  • All fans, especially parents, should show respect for other fans, as well as both teams and officials.
