ASSIGNMENT 02
1. Briefly explain the relationship between physical education and sport.
Physical education: Includes the development of the child’s physical fitness, strength,
flexibility and basic sport skills. It helps develop the child physically, psychologically and
socially. It takes place in the school set up. In preschool, physical education is referred to
as movement; it is in primary school that we first encounter the term "physical
education".
Sport: Is a human activity involving specific administrative organisations and a historical
background of rules. It involves competition or challenge and a definite outcome that is
primarily determined by physical skill. It is characterised by certain rules and common
goals.
2. Which test is used to evaluate the child’s posture? Explain
The plumb line test
The side and rear view plumbline test and posture charts are used to evaluate posture.
Both serve as basic screening devices. The physical educator can pick up any major
changes in a learner’s posture.
The view from the side: take a line through the middle of ear and shoulder joint, slightly
in front of anklebone.
Back view: Through middle of head, vertebra and middle of buttocks, and equidistant
between heels.
3. Why is knowledge regarding the structure and functioning of the body
so important to the physical education teacher and coach?
• The knowledge will allow the coach to perceive the way the athlete
acknowledge to training and exercise.
• It will empower the coach knowledge to know which exercises are applicable
for the development of the athlete and which are appropriate.
• Knowledge to not treat children like adults.
• The teacher must have the knowledge about the basic structures and their
functions to prohibit any damage or injuries.
• The coach needs to make some adjustments when they teach children.
