Grouping of people into body types is known as

Maelezo ya Majibu

Grouping of people into body types is known as somatotype. Somatotype is a system used to categorize individuals based on their body shape and composition. It is commonly used in sports science, physical anthropology, and nutrition studies. The somatotype classification system typically categorizes individuals into three main body types: endomorphs, mesomorphs, and ectomorphs. These body types are determined by certain physical characteristics such as bone structure, muscle development, and fat distribution. Endomorphs are characterized by a higher percentage of body fat and a rounder, softer appearance. Mesomorphs are generally more muscular and have a more athletic build. Ectomorphs, on the other hand, tend to be leaner with less body fat and a thinner frame. Somatotyping can provide insights into an individual's natural predispositions and tendencies regarding body shape, metabolism, and athletic potential. However, it is important to note that somatotype is just one aspect of an individual's overall physique and does not solely determine their abilities or limitations in sports or other activities.

In volley game, a team is allowed to hit the ball .................. times only

Maelezo ya Majibu

In a volley game, a team is typically allowed to hit the ball three times only. Volleyball is a team sport where two teams compete to score points by hitting a ball over a net and landing it within the opposing team's court. Each team has three contacts or hits available to them before the ball must be sent back over the net. These contacts are commonly known as "bumps," "sets," and "spikes." The first contact is usually a bump, where a player uses their forearms to receive a serve or a hit from the opposing team. The second contact is often a set, where a player uses their fingertips to direct the ball toward a teammate for a possible attack. Finally, the third contact is typically a spike, where a player jumps and forcefully hits the ball over the net into the opponent's court. Once the team has used all three contacts, they must send the ball over the net to the other team. If a team hits the ball more than three times or fails to send it over the net within three contacts, it results in a violation called a "four hits" or "multiple hits" and the opposing team is awarded a point. Therefore, in a volley game, a team is generally allowed to hit the ball three times before sending it back to the other team, following the basic rule of volleyball.

Which of the following formations of play is most suitable for defensive strategy in soccer?

Maelezo ya Majibu

The most suitable formation for a defensive strategy in soccer is the "4:4:2" formation. In this formation, four defenders are placed at the back, four midfielders in the middle, and two forwards at the front. This formation provides a solid defensive structure by having four defenders in place to block the opposition's attacks, with the midfielders also dropping back to help defend. The two forwards are positioned to counter-attack when the team wins possession of the ball. On the other hand, the 2:3:5 formation is an attacking formation, with only two defenders at the back, while the 2:4:4 formation is a balanced formation suitable for both attacking and defensive play. The 4:2:4 formation is also an attacking formation, with only two midfielders in the middle. Therefore, the 4:4:2 formation is the most suitable for a defensive strategy in soccer.

Maelezo ya Majibu

The basic aim of administering first aid treatment is to save lives. First aid is the initial assistance given to a person who has been injured or suddenly falls ill before professional medical help arrives. Its primary objective is to preserve life and prevent the condition from worsening. When a person is injured or becomes ill, administering first aid promptly can make a significant difference in their outcome. First aid techniques such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), controlling bleeding, clearing the airway, or stabilizing fractures aim to provide immediate assistance to sustain vital functions until professional medical help is available. By providing appropriate first aid, the initial responder can increase the chances of survival and reduce the risk of further harm or complications. Therefore, the main goal of administering first aid is to save lives and ensure the well-being of the injured or ill individual until they can receive proper medical care.

Which of the following is a style in high jump?

Maelezo ya Majibu

One of the styles in high jump is called the straddle technique. In the straddle technique, the jumper approaches the bar and leaps over it facing upwards. As they go over the bar, they lift their legs and straddle it. The body is positioned parallel to the bar, and the athlete's stomach is facing down while their back is arched. The jumper then kicks their legs upward and rolls their body over the bar, landing on a mat or pit on the other side. The straddle technique requires flexibility, timing, and coordination. It allows the jumper to clear the bar efficiently by positioning their body in a way that minimizes the risk of knocking it down. By straddling the bar, the athlete can clear greater heights and achieve successful jumps. It's important to note that the straddle technique is one of the styles used in high jump, but there are other styles as well, such as the flop and the Fosbury Flop. Each style has its own unique characteristics, but the straddle technique is recognized as one of the classic and traditional methods used in high jump competitions.

During physical exercise, the body requires more supply of

Maelezo ya Majibu

During physical exercise, the body requires more supply of oxygen. This is because during exercise, the body requires more energy to meet the demands of the muscles. Oxygen is required in the process of cellular respiration, which is the process that converts glucose and oxygen into energy in the form of ATP. When the muscles are working harder during exercise, they require more energy, and therefore require more oxygen to be delivered to them through the bloodstream. This is why breathing rate and heart rate increase during exercise, to help deliver more oxygen to the working muscles.

The standard measurement of a hockey pitch is ......... by ......... metres.

Maelezo ya Majibu

The standard measurement of a hockey pitch is 91.44 meters by 54.86 meters. Hockey is played on a rectangular field, which is commonly referred to as a pitch.

Which of the following is not a recommended sport wear?

Maelezo ya Majibu

Gowns are not a recommended sportswear option. When engaging in sports or physical activities, it is important to wear clothing that allows for ease of movement, comfort, and proper ventilation. Gowns, typically long and flowing garments, are not suitable for sports activities as they can restrict movement and potentially pose safety hazards. Sports clothing like shorts and track suits are designed specifically for physical activities. Shorts provide freedom of movement for the legs, allowing athletes to run, jump, and perform various movements comfortably. Track suits are made of lightweight, breathable materials that help regulate body temperature during exercise. On the other hand, gowns are more appropriate for formal or ceremonial occasions rather than sports. They are typically loose-fitting and may interfere with movement, making them impractical and potentially unsafe for physical activities. Choosing the right sportswear is important for performance, comfort, and safety. It is recommended to opt for clothing specifically designed for sports activities that provide flexibility, support, and breathability to enhance the overall sporting experience.
