A Word With You

Dear Learners

National Institute of Open Schooling welcomes its learners to the Senior Secondary
Course in ‘Physical Education and Yog’. The course includes ‘the Concept of
Physical Education and Yog’, ‘Dimensions of the physical education and yog’,
‘Holistic Health’, ‘Physical Education and sports sciences’ and Yogic practices.
This course comprises both theory and practicals. The theory part has been divided
into 22 lessons to make it more elaborative.

The study material has been developed for the learners to widen their knowledge,
understanding and skills in the field of sports, games and yog asanas. This course
provides a chance to the learners to be able to choose physical education and yog
as a career. In the present age physical education and yog has gained more
importance as people are getting conscious about their health and well being.

The course has been developed in modular form and every module deals with a
separate concept. Each module is interlinked with others and motivates the learners
to seek more information.

Please note that out of 22 lessons, 06 lessons have been kept apart for you to study
and be assessed through Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA) only. These are Physical
Fitness and Wellness (Lesson No.3), Career Aspects of Physical Education
(Lesson No.4), Physical and Physiological Aspects (Lesson No.5), Introduction
to Health (Lesson No.9), Physical Education for Various Populations (Lesson
No.13) and Asana (Lesson No.20) that you work upon throughout the year. The
public examination (PE) or final exam shall have the lessons other than those
earmarked for TMA.

We hope that this course will attract a number of learners and will help them to
understand the importance of physical education and especially Yog - that has
gained the international acceptance. Physical education and Yog are related to
our daily life and makes us proud of our culture.

Your feedback is always welcome. For any kind of suggestion or difficulty feel
free to contact us. We shall be more than happy to serve you.

Thanks
