Sports training allows the ody t0 improve skill levels and build motivation, ambition and confidence. It also enables the athletes co increase more knowledge of their sport. It also improves mental strength of an athlete as it helps in improving concentration and increases self-esteem {Sometimes in order to improve the performance athletes prefer unethical methods to enhance their performance. Doping is persistent is sue for athletes in the world, hundreds of athletes are founct using performance enhancing substances. But the regulatory bodies are keeping a very strict watch and are not allowing even a small breach of code. Mganing and Concept of Sports Training In archaic period, ports training denotes the procedure of preparation of some tasks.\It is changed these days; spon waining can extend for months and years together for preparation of some ass. Professionals in sports eTicine, sports biomechanics understand that sports training is chelly practicing physical exercise.

Fast or explosive movements need more time to recover than slow movements 7. Principle of Progression: According to this principle, we should not increase overload rapidly, it may lead to muscle damage. An increased overload can cause exhaustion too fast and may lead to some injury. ing-down: A proper warm-up is required before any intense physical activity as i increases the blood flow and Prepares the muscles for high intensity work-out. y Proper cool down is also much required after intense physical activities ag i helps in cransferring blood back to the vital organs from the muscles, 9. Principle of Specificity: According to this principle, if we train ‘on a specific part of our body it helps in devcloping that part of our body. Implying this principle in an athlete’ life, i he performs an exercise or skill again and again then he will ger better at it.

Warming” is crucial and plays active role in preparing the player to perform the dynamic exercises during the sport. The performance of a player is enhanced when the muscles oer body have taken sufficient amount of warm-up before the game. Most of the trainers, particularly in football, prefer classical training for warming-up. Researchers have found that enhancement in sport activity roetbe accomplished using other sports events activities, particularly athletics field to warm up. \Warming-up exercises should mainly focus on type of exercises, me duration and exact period of time to do before the competition. If warming-up exercises are not dane properly, it will have a bad impact on an individual’s health during a sport activity. Types of Warm-up 1 Passive Warming-up:(Pgssive warm-up helps in increasing the body temperature withour performing - any major physical activity. The body temperature is increased through external means, for example. by wearing heavy clothes, steam bath, through hot drin = etc. The benehit of passive warm-up is that it does hot take energy in the process of warming-up. Passive warming-up is not enough and active warming-up is really necessary for making muscles ready for the competition or sport. (Pe hetive Warming-up: Active warming-up involves variou: hysical activities. The activities involve in categorized into ‘active warming-up helps muscle in getting toned. However, the active warming-up two following categories: — -a-Géneral Warming-up: Athletes perform general warming-up_in all. the_types of spore activities. Activities such as jagging, stretching, jumping, calisthenics, etc. ‘The flexibility of muscles and joints is enhanced by the warming-up Sctivities involved in general warm-up. The duration of these activities varies aecording to the nature of task to be performed. ~ ABC Specific Warming-up:'The activities involved in specific warmingsut 2 directly linked to the activity that is to be performed later on. “These exercises vary OD. “the basis of sport to be played. For cxample, a basketball player mainly practices for some throws and shots before the competition, the fielders practice catching before fielding. This type of activities helps in improving, coordinative abilities. Several warming-up activities performed according to the sports are mentioned below: Training and Doping in Sports 129 LL — (i) Badminton: Bending (sideways, forward, backward), body twisting exercises, ete di) Basketball: Jumping, dribbling, dodging, layup shots, free throws, shooting, etc. (iii) Hockey: Dribbling, passes, hits, scoop, rotation of stick, etc. Methods of Warming-up General Method _3Togging: Slow cunning for several minutes can increase the body temperature. The duration can vay according to the age of the individual involved in the activity. It should be started slowly and gradually ee! should be increased. * Exercises: After jogging, simple exercises are to be done from the relaxed position. The category of exercise should increase from simple to complex. 3-Sttiding: Strides should be performed for not more than 50 metres, Stretched out steps should be taken with knees going high. Body should be in lean position and arms in’ running position. About 4 to 8 reps should be performed. Stretching: Stretching is crucial during warm-up activities. Flexible muscles are the stronger ones. It nts injuries. ae During these sprint, ics required to cover a distance of 25 to 30 metres. Multiple repetitions e recommended depending on the age and sex of the individual involved in the activity. a with Warm Water Taking shower is used as a warming-up method for swimming, water polo and diving. Warm-up through Massage This method was widely used by wrestlers in India to get warmed-up. It is not that much in use these days, Warm-up by Hot Drinks Tcis not considered as one of the best methods for warming-up and it has been discarded by the expers, Warm-up through Sunbath Sunbathing can be used as a method for warming-up. Ic is not being used in most of the sports. Warm-up through Steam Bath Steam bath can be used to warm-up the body, bu this method is not in use these days. Importance of Warming-up ~ 1 Increases the Body Temperature: Warm-up exercises increase body temperature that helps in getting our body ready for the competition. It also helps in improving the performance. Ifa sports person isnot involved in proper warm-up before any vigorous activity it might result in tearing of muscle fibres. 2 Increases the Metabolic Rate: Metabolic rate is increased through warm-up exercises, When the cor seamperature rises, the metabolic rate increases. About 0.5 degree increase in body temperature results in 7% increase in metabolic rate. More energy is produced with the higher metabolie tate A Increases the Speed of Nerve Impulses: ‘The speed of nerve impulses is improved through warm-up ~ _ exercises that helps in improving the reaction time of an athlete. 130 A Textbook of Physical Education — x1 ; ca the Speed of Muscles: Warming-up results in carrying the blood ro muscles that Helps 7 ‘ 4.12 Te speed of muses during any sports activity or competition oe s Anxiety: Before any activity for competition, an athlete might feel nervous that can result into elopment o! anxiety.

Ir helps the body to gradually transition to a resting or near-resting state. Cooling down an involve a slow jog or walk, depending on the intensity of : can be used with lower intensities. Cooling down allows the heart rate'to return to its resting rate. Limbering down may reduce izziness for professional or serious athletes and vocal performers after strenuous workouts. Professionals are not able to conclude as to whether the process actually reduces delayed onset muscle discomfort. In the procedure of cooling down, stretching is a very important factor. Stretching enables the muscles to make elasticity. Stretching Exercises for Limbering-Down Hamstrings: Raise one leg directly above the hips while laying down on your back. Hold your calf and press the heel towards the cciling and pull your leg back. Switch the other leg and repeat the procedure 2. Chest: Stand straight and interlace your fingers behind the back.
