About the Sports Activities

The pre-test and post-test measurements are administered to students in performing a battery of five tests which includes push-up, sit-up, sit and reach, quadrant jump, and endurance run of 1,500 m. After the pre-test, the students are taught various basic sports skills according to pre-planned lesson plans for example, Basketball, football, and volleyball for four weeks during their regular weekly Games and PE classes. Two teacher trainees are assigned to each student group (consisting 8 to 10 students) to deliver the standard predesigned lesson plans.  During each Games or PE class, after a 5-minute warm-up session, students are put through the respective activities. Short games are introduced after the practice session, followed by cooling down activities at the end of the class. A total of eight sessions of two 40-minute classes are conducted. At the end of the four weeks, the performance of the students is again tested to measure their fitness.
