4. MEANING OF SPORTS
PHYSIOLOGY
❖Sports Physiology Is The Study
Of The Long-and Short-term
Effects Of Training And
Conditions On Athletes.
Anatomy Is About Structure,
Where Physiology Is About
Function.
❖Sports Physiology Is The Study
Of How Exercise Alters The
Function And Structure Of The
Body.

7. PHYSIOLOGICAL
FACTORS DETERMINING
STRENGTH
❖Muscle Size: Strength Of The
Muscle Depends On Size Of The
Muscles. Force Produced By
Same Size Of Muscle In Males
And Females Is Approximately
Same. Can Be Improved Through
Training
❖Body Weight: Individuals Who
Are Heavier Are Stronger Than
The Light Weight Individuals.
❖Muscle Composition: Muscular
System Is Composed Of White
Muscle & Red Muscle Fibre. The
Percentage Of These Muscles Is
Genetically Determined And
Cannot Be Changed Through
Training.
❖Nerve Impulse: Speed Of Nerves
Impulse Determines Strength.
Can Not Be Improved Through
Training
By : Bhawani Pratap Singh Shekhawat , // bhawani912@gmail.com / +91 8005864874 //
8. PHYSIOLOGICAL
FACTORS
DETERMINING SPEED
❖Mobility Of The Nervous
System: Contraction and
relaxation of muscles is
controlled by nervous system.
Frequency of contraction and
relaxation of muscles is
determined by excitability of
nerve impulse
❖Muscle composition: The
percentage of white muscle &
red muscle fibre is genetically
determined and cannot be
changed through training.
❖Explosive Strength: Depends
on muscle composition,
muscle size, muscle
coordination and metabolic
process. Except muscle
composition the other factors
can be improved through
training.
By : Bhawani Pratap Singh Shekhawat , // bhawani912@gmail.com / +91 8005864874 //
9. PHYSIOLOGICAL
FACTORS DETERMINING
SPEED (CONT.)
❖Flexibility: Maximum range of
movement of any muscle or
joint. Freedom of movement
enables muscles to move at
faster rate & complete
utilization of explosive
strength.
❖Bio Chemical Reserves And
Metabolic Power: For
maximum speed performance
the muscles require more
amount of energy at a very
high rate of consumption. For
this purpose ATP and CP
stores should be enough. If the
store is less the muscle
contractions due to insufficient
energy supply becomes slow
after a short time.

10. PHYSIOLOGICAL
FACTORS DETERMINING
ENDURANCE
❖ AEROBIC CAPACITY: Energy
Required By The Muscles Can Be
Supplied In The Presence Of Oxygen.
Hence Supply Of Oxygen To Working
Muscles Is Important For Endurance
Performance.
✓ Oxygen Intake: It Is The Amount
Of The Oxygen Which Can Be
Taken By The Lungs From
Atmosphere. Oxygen Transport :
The Amount Of Oxygen Taken
Into The Blood From Lungs Has
To Be Transported To The
Working Muscles
✓ Oxygen Uptake: The Amount Of
Oxygen Which Can Be Observed
And Consumed By The Working
Muscles From The Blood.
✓ Energy Reserves: Depends
Upon The Availability Of Fuel To
Muscles From Which Energy For
The Activity Is Derived. The
Aerobic Capacity Depends Upon
The Muscle Glycogen And Sugar
Level In The Blood.
By : Bhawani Pratap Singh Shekhawat , // bhawani912@gmail.com / +91 8005864874 //
11. PHYSIOLOGICAL
FACTORS DETERMINING
ENDURANCE (CONT.)
❖Lactic Acid Tolerance: It Is
Important For Activities
Lasting > 40 Seconds &
Determines Anaerobic
Capacity. Can Be Improved
Through Training.
❖Movement Economy: For
Apex Performance, Body
Movements Should Be
Economical. Good
Technique Saves Energy &
Improve Endurance.
❖Muscle Composition: The
Percentage Of White
Muscle & Red Muscle Fibre
Is Genetically Determined
And Cannot Be Changed
Through Training
By : Bhawani Pratap Singh Shekhawat , // bhawani912@gmail.com / +91 8005864874 //
12. PHYSIOLOGICAL
FACTORS DETERMINING
FLEXIBILITY
❖Muscle Strength: Weak
Muscles Cannot Exert
Sufficient Force To Achieve
Full Range Of Movement.
Muscle Strength Is Highly
Trainable.
❖Joint Structure: Structure
Of Joint Is A Limiting Factor
For Flexibility. Some Of The
Joints Intrinsically Have A
Greater Range Of Motion
Than Others.
❖Age And Gender: Flexibility
Is Maximum During
Childhood And Decreases
With The Advancement Of
Age. It Can Be Enhanced
With Training. Females Tend
To Be More Flexible Than
Males.
By : Bhawani Pratap Singh Shekhawat , // bhawani912@gmail.com / +91 8005864874 //
13. PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS
DETERMINING
FLEXIBILITY (CONT.)
❖Stretchability Of Muscles:
Limits The Range Of
Movements. Stretchability
Can Be Improved By
Training.
❖Body Temperature: Has A
Positive Correlation With
Body Flexibility. Warm Up
Before Any Sports Activity Is
Highly Advisable.
❖Previous Injury: Injuries To
Connective Tissues And
Muscles Can Lead To
Thickening On The Affected
Area Leading To Reduced
Flexibility. Rehabilitation
Exercises Are Must After
Healing Of Injury.
By : Bhawani Pratap Singh Shekhawat , // bhawani912@gmail.com / +91 8005864874 //
14. ❖ INCREASE IN THE SIZE OF HEART: Muscles Of The Heart
Increase In Size And Strength. The Left Ventricle Adapts To The
Greatest Extent. Heart Walls Grow Stronger And Thicker.
❖ DECREASE IN RESTING HEART RATE: Regular Exercise
Decreases The Resting Heart Rate. Resting Heart Rate 72
Beat/Min Can Go Down To 30 To 40 Beat/Minute In Highly
Conditioned Athlete.
❖ STROKE VOLUME INCREASES AT REST: In An Untrained
Individual Stroke Volume At Rest Is 50 To70 Ml / Beat Which
Increases To 70 To 90 Ml / Beat As An Effect Of Regular Exercise.
❖ Increase In Cardiac Output Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume X
Heart Rate
❖ INCREASED BLOOD FLOW: To Supply The Muscles With Extra
Oxygen During Exercise, The Body Increases Its Number Of
Capillaries. Existing Capillaries Open Wider. The Blood
Redistribution More Efficient & Effective.
7.2 EFFECT OF EXERCISE
ON CARDIO
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
By : Bhawani Pratap Singh Shekhawat , // bhawani912@gmail.com / +91 8005864874 //
15. EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON
CARDIO RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM (CONT.)
❖ DECREASE IN BLOOD PRESSURE: Decreases BP By Up To 10 Mmhg At
Rest.
❖ INCREASE IN BLOOD VOLUME: Increases The Blood Volume Due To
Increase In Plasma Volume. Body Produces More RBC To Supply Extra
Oxygen To Muscles During Intensive Exercise
❖ QUICKER RECOVERY RATE: Quickens The Recovery Rate. Rate Of
Respiration Also Becomes Normal Quickly.
❖ INCREASE IN TIDAL AIR CAPACITY: It Is The Amount Of Air That Flows In
And Out Of The Lungs In Each Quiet Respiratory Movement.
❖ DECREASE IN RATE OF RESPIRATION: If The Individual Perform The
Exercise On Daily Basis, His/ Her Respiration At Rest Decreases In
Comparison To The Earlier Stage.
❖ UNUSED ALVEOLES BECOME ACTIVE: Regular Exercise Activates The
Unused Alveoles, Because Much Amount Of Oxygen Is Required In Vigorous
And Prolonged Exercises. The Passive Alveloes Also Become Active.
By : Bhawani Pratap Singh Shekhawat , // bhawani912@gmail.com / +91 8005864874 //
16. ❖INCREASE IN ENDURANCE: if exercise is
performed regularly and for a longer period, it
increases endurance
❖INCREASE IN RESIDUAL AIR VOLUME: it is
that amount of air, which is left in the lungs after
exhalation.
❖INCREASE IN VITAL AIR CAPACITY: it is the
amount of air which an individual can inhale and
exhale with maximum effort.
❖Increase in maximum oxygen uptake(VO2 max).

MEANING
A Laceration Can Be
Anything From A Small,

Separated. While Some
Lacerations Can Seem
Minor, They May Become
Serious If Not Treated
Properly And Promptly.
TREATMENT
❖ Stop The Flow Of Blood By Applying Firm Pressure To The Laceration With A Clean
Cloth Or Gauze. A Small Amount Of Blood Is Advantageous In Cleansing The
Wound, But Large Amounts Of Blood Loss Can Be Dangerous.
❖ Properly Clean The Wound. Remove All Dirt And Debris By First Running Cool Water
Over The Area, And Then Clean With A Sterile Cloth, Warm Water, And Mild Soap.
❖ Apply Antibiotic Ointment, And Then Cover The Wound Area With A Sterile Gauze
Bandage And First-aid Tape.
❖ Clean The Wound Area Daily With Soap And Water And Apply A Fresh Sterile
Bandage.
❖ For A Minor Laceration, Remove The Bandage After A Couple Of Days To Promote
Healing.
❖ If The Affected Person Requires Stitches, Take Him/Her To The Doctor.
