UGC NET Physical Education Subject - IX Flashcards
51 question-and-answer cards covering Subject - IX as it is examined in UGC NET Physical Education. 24 of them are printed below, taken from across the deck — no signup, no paywall on the preview.
24 sample cards from the Subject - IX deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
List the health-related components of physical fitness.
Cardiovascular (cardiorespiratory) endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
List the skill-related (performance) components of physical fitness.
Speed, agility, power, balance, coordination, and reaction time.
Name common health-related fitness test batteries.
AAHPERD Health-Related Physical Fitness Test, FITNESSGRAM, and Eurofit. Items typically include a distance run, sit-ups, sit-and-reach, skinfolds (body composition) and pull-ups/push-ups.
Which test is used to measure body composition in health-related fitness, and what does it estimate?
Skinfold measurement (using calipers at sites such as triceps and subscapular) estimates the percentage of body fat. Body Mass Index $BMI=\frac{\text{weight (kg)}}{[\text{height (m)}]^{2}}$ is also commonly used.
Define Strength as a motor/fitness component.
Strength is the ability of muscles to overcome or act against resistance; it is the maximal force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single contraction.
Name the types/forms of strength in sports training.
Maximum strength, Explosive strength (power), and Strength endurance. (Static/isometric and dynamic/isotonic are also distinguished by mode of contraction.)
How is dynamic muscular strength commonly measured?
By the 1-Repetition Maximum (1-RM) test — the maximum weight that can be lifted once with correct technique. Static strength is measured with dynamometers (e.g., grip dynamometer).
Define Endurance as a conditioning ability.
Endurance is the ability of an individual to sustain physical activity for a prolonged period and to resist fatigue; it depends largely on the cardiorespiratory system and aerobic capacity.
Name common field tests for cardiovascular endurance.
Cooper's 12-minute run/walk test, Harvard Step Test, 1.5-mile run test, 600-yard run/walk, and the multistage 20 m shuttle run (beep test).
What does the Harvard Step Test measure and how is its fitness index calculated?
It measures cardiovascular endurance/efficiency. Physical Fitness Index $=\frac{\text{Duration of exercise (s)}\times 100}{2\times(\text{sum of 3 recovery pulse counts})}$.
What does Cooper's 12-minute run test estimate, and what is the relation to VO2 max?
It estimates aerobic capacity (cardiovascular endurance) from the distance covered in 12 minutes. Estimated $VO_{2}\,max=\frac{d-504.9}{44.73}$, where $d$ is the distance in metres.
Define Speed as a motor component.
Speed is the ability to perform movements or cover a distance in the shortest possible time; it is the capacity to move the body or its parts as rapidly as possible.
Name the forms of speed abilities.
Reaction speed (reaction ability), Acceleration speed, Locomotor/movement speed (maximum speed), and Speed endurance.
How is running speed commonly tested?
By short maximal sprints over a fixed distance, such as the 30 m, 50 m, or 60 m dash, timing the run from a standing/flying start.
Define Flexibility.
Flexibility is the range of motion (ROM) available at a joint or group of joints; the ability to move joints freely through their full range.
Differentiate between active and passive flexibility.
Active flexibility is the ROM achieved through one's own muscular effort (e.g., raising a leg unaided), while passive flexibility is the greater ROM achieved with the help of an external force (partner, gravity, or apparatus).
Which test commonly measures flexibility of the lower back and hamstrings?
The Sit-and-Reach test, performed using a sit-and-reach (flexometer) box, measuring how far one can reach forward past the toes.
Define Coordinative Abilities (as per Hartmann and Blume / Zimmermann).
Coordinative abilities are relatively stabilized and generalized patterns of motor control and regulation processes that enable an individual to perform motor actions efficiently, controlled by the central nervous system.
Name the coordinative abilities classified by sports scientists.
Differentiation ability, Coupling ability, Reaction ability, Orientation ability, Balance ability, Rhythm ability, and Adaptation (adjustment) ability.
Define Agility and name a common test for it.
Agility is the ability to change body position or direction rapidly and accurately. It is commonly tested by the Shuttle Run (e.g., 4 × 10 yards/m) or the Illinois Agility Run test.
What is a Sports Skill Test, and what is its main purpose?
A sports skill test is a measure designed to assess an individual's proficiency in the fundamental skills of a specific sport (e.g., serving, passing). Its purpose is classification, diagnosis, achievement/grading and prediction of playing ability.
Name a well-known standardized badminton skill test battery.
The Miller Wall Volley Test (Lockhart–McPherson type) and the French Short Serve / Scott–Fox Long Serve tests are widely used badminton skill tests.
What does the Miller Wall Volley Test measure in badminton, and how is it scored?
It measures badminton playing/rallying ability and wrist-stroke skill. The subject continuously volleys the shuttle against a wall above a target line for a set time (e.g., 30 s), and the score is the number of legal hits above the line.
What do the French Short Serve and the Long Serve (Scott–Fox) tests measure in badminton?
The French Short Serve Test measures accuracy and lowness of the short (low) service over the net into a target near the service line, while the Long/High Serve Test measures the accuracy and height of the deep service to the back of the court, both scored by concentric target zones.
What this deck covers
The Subject - IX deck follows the UGC NET Physical Education Subject - IX syllabus — 1 chapters and 12 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 51.0 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 172 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
Subject - IX flashcards FAQ
How many Subject - IX flashcards are in this UGC NET Physical Education deck?
51 cards. This page previews 24 of them, sampled evenly across the deck so you can judge the difficulty before installing anything.
Are these UGC NET Physical Education flashcards free?
Yes. The preview here is free to read with no signup, and the full 51-card deck is free inside the Examius app.
What do the Subject - IX cards cover?
They follow the UGC NET Physical Education Subject - IX syllabus — 1 chapters and 12 topics — so the questions track what is actually examinable.
How should I use these flashcards?
Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then drill the deck. Examius schedules each card with spaced repetition, so cards you keep missing come back sooner and ones you know drift further apart.
