                  ASPECTS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION                                                 Note


            Anand is an athlete and is the medal winner in the 100 mt race in School annual
            sports meet. He is  aspiring to compete in  inter school and district athletic
            competition, for which he has to improve his performance through training from
            athlete experts. He consulted his school Physical Education teacher, who
            accompanied him to the district stadium of his locality and met the athletic coach
            of the stadium. The stadium coach listened to Anand and his school Physical
            Education Teacher and started suggesting Anand. The suggestions focused around
            essentials required to improve performance, benefits of exercise, type of exercise
            and training required to improve physiological and physical aspects of Anand.
            Anand could not understand the suggestions and was expecting his Physical
            Education Teacher to make him understand as to how physical activity can affect
            cardiovascular system, respiratory system and muscular system through exercises
            and training. On returning from the district stadium, school Physical Education
            Teacher started to explain the concepts discussed by the athletic coach to Anand,
            which are included in this chapter.



                     OBJECTIVES



            After studying this lesson, you will be able to:
                 explain  the  concept, types and components of
                 physical activity;
                 explain the concept and effects of exercise on the muscular system;
                 learn the effects of exercise on the respiratory system;
                 count the effects of exercise on the circulatory system and
                 explain the concept of Yog Physiology.


              5.1 CONCEPT OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY


            Exercise can be defined as “the collective efforts done by the body to perform a
            specific task” or any body movement done by the muscles, regulated by brain
            that results in energy expenditure. Here we are talking about physical activities
