TESTS
Age 5 to 8 years (BMI, Flamingo balance test and plate tapping test)
1 )BMI:
Purpose: Body Composition refers primarily to the distribution of muscle and fat in the body. Body size
such as height, lengths and girths are also grouped under this component.
Procedure:
i) Remove the participant’s shoes, bulky clothing, and hair ornaments, and unbraid hair that interferes
with the measurement.
ii) Have the participant stand with feet flat, together, and back against the wall. Make sure legs are
straight, arms are at sides, and shoulders are level.
iii) Use a flat headpiece to form a right angle. Lightly mark where the bottom of the headpiece meets the
wall. Then,use a metal tape to measure from the base on the floor to the marked measurement on the
wall to get the height measurement. Accurately record the height to the nearest 0.1 centimeter.
Use a digital scale. Place the scale on firm flooring.Have the participant remove shoes and heavy
clothing, such as sweaters. Have the participant stand with both feet in the center of the scale. Record
the weight to the nearest decimal fraction.
Scoring: The test performed is Body Mass Index (BMI), which is calculated from body.Weight (W) and
height(H). BMI = W / (H x H), where W = body weight in kilograms and H = height in meters. The higher
the score usually indicating higher levels of body fat.
Infrastructure/Equipment Required: Table (adjustable height), 2 yellow discs (20cm diameter), rectangle
(30 x 20 cm), stopwatch.
PROCEDURE : If possible, the table height should be adjusted so that the subject is standing comfortably
in front of the discs. The two yellow discs are placed with their centers 60 cm apart on the table. The
rectangle is placed equidistant between both discs. The non-preferred hand is placed on the rectangle.
The subject moves the preferred hand back and forth between the discs over the hand in the middle as
quickly as possible. This action is repeated for 25 full cycles (50 taps).
Purpose: Ability to balance successfully on a single leg. This single leg balance test assesses the strength
of the leg, pelvic, and trunk muscles as well as Static balance.
Infrastructure/Equipment Required: Non-slippery even surface, Stopwatch, can be done while standing
on beam.

While balancing on the preferred leg, the free leg is flexed at the knee and the foot of this leg held close
to the buttocks. Start the watch as the instructor lets go of the participant/subject. Pause the stopwatch
each time the subject loses balance (either by falling off the beam or letting go of the foot being held).

If there are more than 15 falls in the first 30 seconds, the test is terminated.
Scoring: The total number of falls or loss of balance in 60 seconds of balancing is recorded. If there are
more than 15 falls in the first 30 seconds, the test is terminated.

participants. Walking is permitted but the objective is to cover the distance in the shortest possible time.

starting line. This starting position should be static (dead start). The tester should provide hints for
maximizing speed (such as keeping low, driving hard with the arms and legs) and encouraged to
continue running hard through the finish line.

FOOTBALL
Football's roots stretch back further while the modern version is credited to England, its history
is a global tapestry.
Early versions of the game can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The Greeks and Romans
enjoyed kicking a ball around, and China has documented games involving kicking a leather ball
filled with feathers as early as the 2nd century BC.
Fast forward to medieval Europe, where various kicking games with loose rules were popular.
England, in particular, saw the rise of "mob football," a chaotic mass brawl with a vaguely
spherical object.
In the 19th century, England tamed the chaos. Public schools standardized rules, focusing on
kicking a ball between two goalposts. These rules eventually led to the formation of the Football
Association (FA) in 1863, the first official governing body for the sport.
From there, football spread like wildfire. International matches began in the late 19th century,
and FIFA, the international football federation, was founded in 1904. The first FIFA World Cup,
the sport's pinnacle event, took place in 1930.
Today, football is the world's most popular sport, with billions of fans cheering on their teams.
Its journey from ancient kickabouts to a global phenomenon is a testament to its simplicity,
competitiveness, and ability to unite people across cultures.
RULES AND REGULATION
Football is governed by a set of rules overseen by the International Football Association Board
(IFAB). Here's a breakdown of some key regulations:
1) The Field: Played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. Teams of 11 players each
battle for possession of a spherical ball, using primarily their feet (except the goalkeeper within
their penalty area).
2) Objective: Score by kicking the ball into the opposing team's goal. The team with the most
goals at the end wins. A match lasts 90 minutes with a half-time break.
3) Fouls and Free Kicks: Contact deemed unfair is penalized with a free kick awarded to the
opposing team from the spot of the foul. Serious fouls can lead to yellow cards (caution) or red
cards (dismissal).
4) Offside Rule: A player in an attacking position is offside if closer to the opponent's goal line
than both the ball and the second-to-last defender. Being offside when the ball is played forward
is a foul.
5) Restarts: After the ball goes out of play, play restarts with a throw-in (hurling the ball back in
with both hands), goal kick (goalie kicks from the goal area), or corner kick (kicked from the
corner flag when the ball exits over the endline by the defending team).
6) Determining the Winner:The team with the most goals at the end of the match wins.If the
score is tied, extra time or a penalty shootout might be used depending on the competition.

EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED FOR FOOTBALL
Taking the field for a football match requires specific equipment to ensure safety, performance,
and adherence to the rules. Here's a breakdown of the key items, all crucial for aspiring
footballers:
1) Ball: Naturally, the heart of the game. Footballs come in various sizes and materials
depending on age group and competition level.
2) Boots (Cleats): These provide traction on the field. Studs come in different lengths for
various playing surfaces (grass, artificial turf).
3) Shin Guards: Worn underneath socks, these hard plastic guards protect the shins from impact
during tackles and collisions.
4) Socks: Typically long and reaching above the knee, these offer comfort and support while
keeping shin guards in place.
5) Shorts: Lightweight and breathable athletic shorts are essential for mobility and comfort.
6) Shirt (Jersey): Teams have designated jerseys with numbers for identification. Material
should be breathable and allow for freedom of movement.
Sunil Chhetri is more than just a footballer; he's the embodiment of Indian football's resurgence.
His journey, spanning almost two decades, is a testament to dedication, talent, and leadership.
Chhetri's goalscoring prowess is undeniable. He reigns supreme as the all-time top scorer for the
Indian national team and currently sits among the top active international goalscorers, behind

Chhetri's achievements are not limited to statistics. He has been a driving force behind India's
rise in international rankings. Victories in the SAFF Championship and the Nehru Cup showcase
his impact on the national stage. His leadership at Bengaluru FC has seen them reach the AFC
Cup final, a testament to his club-level influence.
Chhetri's legacy extends beyond the pitch. He's a role model for aspiring footballers, inspiring a
generation to dream of representing India on the global stage. His dedication and passion have
ignited a renewed interest in Indian football, making him a true legend of the sport in the
country.
