 The revival work of Modern Olympic Games was undertaken by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (nearly
1500 years after the last Ancient Olympic Games) in the year 1896 at Athens. In the Conference of
Physical Education on 25th November 1892, Baron Coubertin (born in an Italian family and settled in

Q.20. How is WHR calculated and how can it be used to assess the healthiness of a person?
Ans. WHR means ‘Waist-to-Hip-Ratio’. This is the ratio of circumference of waist to that of the hips. The
waist to hip ratio determines the possibility of health risks and is an indication of whether you have an
apple or pear shaped figure. The waist to hip ratio measurement is calculated by dividing the
measurement of your waist by your hip measurement.
Purpose : To determine the ratio of waist to hip circumference related to risk of health.
Evaluation of Test : WHR is the good indicator of health and attractiveness of a person. The ratio
around 0.75 is considered good and healthy among women, whereas the ratio at around 0.85 is
considered healthy among men. These persons have less chances of health problems like diabetes,
cardiovascular disorders, cancers etc. These persons will also look attractive.
Excellent Good Average High Extreme
Female < 0.75 0.75 - 0.80 0.80 - 0.85 0.85 - 0.90 > 0.90
Male < 0.85 0.85 - 0.90 0.90 - 0.95 0.95 - 1.00 > 1.00

Ans. According to Wikipedia, “Warming up is a preparation for physical exertion or performance by
exercising or practising gently before hand”.
(i) Reduces Injuries : Warming-up raises the body temperature slightly higher. This makes muscles
more flexible and their contractibility increases. By this, the chances of injuries are reduced.
(ii) Regulates Systems : It regulates the cardiorespiratory system for the coming needs. It increases
the supply of blood to working muscles. More supply of oxygen also reaches the working tissues.
(iii) Increases Energy Level : It regulates the metabolic rate, by this the efficiency of energy
production is improved. It increases the energy sources for working body and thus body can work
for longer duration.
(iv) Better Responses : With warming-up the neuro-muscular co-ordination becomes more better,
therefore, fast and efficient responses. Reaction time improves as muscles are toned up.

Q.24. How can inclusive education be implemented in India?
Ans. In India, National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) joined hands with UNICEF
and launched Project Integrated Education for Disabled Children (PIED) in the years 1987, to strengthen
the integration of learners with disabilities into regular schools. In 2005, the Ministry of Human Resource
Development implemented a National Action Plan for the inclusion in education of children and youth
with disabilities. Furthermore, IEDC was revised and named “Inclusive Education of the Disabled at
the Secondary Stage (IEDSS)” in 2009-10 to provide assistance for the inclusive education of the

Candid Physical Education-11 7

 disabled children at 9th and 10th classes. This scheme now subsumed under Rashtriya Madhyamik
Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) from 2013. It is important to integrate these children into regular schools
to help them socialise and build their confidence.
There are following measures for better implementation of Inclusive Education in India:
1. The Right to Education (RTE) must apply to all citizens of India. State and central Governments
as well as all the other social actors should recognize the importance of a broadened concept of
inclusive education that addresses the diverse needs of all learners.
2. A policy of inclusion needs to be implemented in all schools and throughout Indian education system
(NCF, 2005). Schools need to become centers that prepare children for life and ensure that all
children, especially the differently abled children from marginalized sections, and children in difficult
circumstances get the maximum benefit of this critical area of education.
3. The preparation of teachers for rural special education programmes should be planned differently,
as the aim of these programmes would be integrate disabled persons in their own environment
and community.
4. As a system, inclusive education should be flexible. Its flexibility must be reflected in the methods
and materials used to give these children the widest possible access to the regular curriculum.
5. A school-based support team should develop strategies for the whole school to meet the needs of
learners with special educational needs. This team should also be a resource for teachers
experiencing problems in their classrooms.
