“Health
is wealth”, without proper health and exercise once body will not function
properly. In order to succeed in sports career a candidate must have high goals
that translate his physical strength and psychological strengths into a better
practice-training that results in great achievements. A coach/mentor motivates
a candidate to achieve or excel in different sports categories. He motivates,
develops and evaluates the candidate. But the attitude of person differs from
person to person both for the candidate as well as the capacity of coach. Age,
gender, environment, economic, family background, culture, scientific methods
etc., influence the sportsman’s practice sessions and ambitions to succeed.
Trainings will be of short term duration or long term duration and motivational
factors will be differing in each case. Psychological aspects play vital role
in relaxation and activation. Goals are
precondition to any activity, exercises or practice should be done in
scientific manner by getting internal and external motivation appropriately.
The
study of physiology of exercise in a modern sense began in Paris, France, When
Antoine Lavoisier in 1777 and Lavoisier & Pierre de Laplace in 1780
developed techniques to measure the oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production
at rest and during the exercise. Definition of Exercise: “Physical activity
that is planned, structured, repetitive and purposive in the sense that improvement
or maintenance of one or more components of physical body”. In the past
exercise and physical activity are used synonymously but now they treat
exercise as subcategory of physical activity.
Physical activity is defined as bodily movement produced by the
contraction of skeletal muscle that increases energy expenditure above the
basal level. The physical activity of a person or group is frequently
categorized by the context in which it occurs. Common categories include
occupational, household, leisure, time or transportation. Activity can be
further subdivided into categories such as competitive sports, recreational
activities (Ex: Hiking, Cycling) and exercise training.
