MEANING OF SPORTS
PHYSIOLOGY
❖Sports Physiology Is The
Study Of The Long-and Short-
term Effects Of Training And
Conditions On Athletes.
Anatomy Is About Structure,
Where Physiology Is About
Function.
❖ Sports Physiology Is The
Study Of How Exercise Alters
The Function And Structure Of
The Body.
PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS
DETERMINING STRENGTH
❖Muscle Size: Strength Of The
Muscle Depends On Size Of The
Muscles. Force Produced By
Same Size Of Muscle In Males
And Females Is Approximately
Same. Can Be Improved
Through Training
❖ Body Weight: Individuals Who
Are Heavier Are Stronger
Than The Light Weight
Individuals.
❖ Muscle Composition: Muscular
System Is Composed Of White
Muscle & Red Muscle Fibre.
The Percentage Of These
Muscles Is Genetically
Determined And Cannot Be
Changed Through Training.
❖ Nerve Impulse: Speed Of
Nerves Impulse Determines
Strength. Can Not Be Improved
5.
PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS
DETERMINING SPEED
❖Mobility Of The Nervous
System: Contraction and
relaxation of muscles is
controlled by nervous system.
Frequency of contraction and
relaxation of muscles is
determined by excitability of
nerve impulse
❖ Muscle composition: The
percentage of white muscle &
red muscle fibre is
genetically determined and
cannot be changed through
training.
❖ Explosive Strength: Depends
on muscle composition,
muscle size, muscle
coordination and metabolic
process. Except muscle
composition the other factors
6.
PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS
DETERMINING SPEED(CONT.)
❖ Flexibility: Maximum range of
movement of any muscle or
joint. Freedom of movement
enables muscles to move at
faster rate & complete
utilization of explosive
strength.
❖ Bio Chemical Reserves And
Metabolic Power: For
maximum speed performance
the muscles require more
amount of energy at a very
high rate of consumption. For
this purpose ATP and CP
stores should be enough. If the
store is less the muscle
contractions due to insufficient
7.
PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS
DETERMINING ENDURANCE
❖AEROBIC CAPACITY: Energy
Required By The Muscles Can Be
Supplied In The Presence Of
Oxygen. Hence Supply Of Oxygen
To Working Muscles Is Important For
Endurance Performance.
✔ Oxygen Intake: It Is The
Amount Of The Oxygen Which
Can Be Taken By The Lungs
From Atmosphere.
✔ Oxygen Transport : The
Amount Of Oxygen Taken Into
The Blood From Lungs Has To
Be Transported To The Working
Muscles
✔ Oxygen Uptake: The Amount Of
Oxygen Which Can Be Observed
And Consumed By The Working
Muscles From The Blood.
✔ Energy Reserves: Depends
Upon The Availability Of Fuel To
Muscles From Which Energy For
The Activity Is Derived. The
Aerobic Capacity Depends Upon
The Muscle Glycogen And
8.
PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS
DETERMINING ENDURANCE
(CONT.)
❖Lactic Acid Tolerance: It Is
Important For Activities
Lasting > 40 Seconds &
Determines Anaerobic
Capacity. Can Be Improved
Through Training.
❖ Movement Economy: For
Apex Performance, Body
Movements Should Be
Economical. Good
Technique Saves Energy &
Improve Endurance.
❖ Muscle Composition: The
Percentage Of White
Muscle & Red Muscle Fibre
Is Genetically Determined
And Cannot Be Changed
Through Training
9.
PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS
DETERMINING FLEXIBILITY
❖Muscle Strength: Weak
Muscles Cannot Exert
Sufficient Force To
Achieve Full
Range Of Movement.
Muscle Strength Is
Highly Trainable.
❖ Joint Structure: Structure
Of Joint Is A Limiting Factor
For Flexibility. Some Of
The Joints Intrinsically
Have A Greater Range Of
Motion Than Others.
❖ Age And Gender: Flexibility
Is Maximum During
Childhood And Decreases
With The Advancement Of
Age. It Can Be Enhanced
With Training. Females
Tend To Be More Flexible
10.
PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS
DETERMINING FLEXIBILITY
(CONT.)
❖Stretchability Of
Muscles: Limits The
Range Of Movements.
Stretchability Can Be
Improved By Training.
❖ Body Temperature: Has A
Positive Correlation With
Body Flexibility. Warm Up
Before Any Sports Activity Is
Highly Advisable.
❖ Previous Injury: Injuries To
Connective Tissues And
Muscles Can Lead To
Thickening On The Affected
Area Leading To Reduced
Flexibility. Rehabilitation
Exercises Are Must After
Healing Of Injury.
11.
❖ INCREASE INTHE SIZE OF HEART:Muscles Of The Heart
Increase In Size And Strength. The Left Ventricle Adapts To The
Greatest Extent. Heart Walls Grow Stronger And Thicker.
❖ DECREASE IN RESTING HEART RATE: Regular Exercise
Decreases The Resting Heart Rate. Resting Heart Rate 72
Beat/Min Can Go Down To 40 To 50 Beat/Minute In Highly
Conditioned Athlete.
❖ STROKE VOLUME INCREASES AT REST: In An Untrained
Individual Stroke Volume At Rest Is 50 To70 Ml / Beat Which
Increases To 70 To 90 Ml / Beat As An Effect Of Regular Exercise.
❖ Increase In Cardiac Output Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume X
Heart Rate
❖ INCREASED BLOOD FLOW: To Supply The Muscles With Extra
Oxygen During Exercise, The Body Increases Its Number Of Capillaries.
Existing Capillaries Open Wider. The Blood Redistribution More Efficient
& Effective.
7.2 EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON
CARDIO
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
12.
EFFECT OF EXERCISEON CARDIO
RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM (CONT.)
❖ DECREASE IN BLOOD PRESSURE: Decreases BP By Up To 10 Mmhg At
Rest.
❖ INCREASE IN BLOOD VOLUME: Increases The Blood Volume Due
To Increase In Plasma Volume. Body Produces More RBC To Supply
Extra Oxygen To Muscles During Intensive Exercise
❖ QUICKER RECOVERY RATE: Quickens The Recovery Rate. Rate Of
Respiration Also Becomes Normal Quickly.
❖ INCREASE IN TIDAL AIR CAPACITY: It Is The Amount Of Air That Flows In
And Out Of The Lungs In Each Quiet Respiratory Movement.
❖ DECREASE IN RATE OF RESPIRATION: If The Individual Perform The
Exercise On Daily Basis, His/ Her Respiration At Rest Decreases In
Comparison To The Earlier Stage.
❖ UNUSED ALVEOLES BECOME ACTIVE: Regular Exercise Activates The
Unused Alveoles, Because Much Amount Of Oxygen Is Required In Vigorous
And Prolonged Exercises. The Passive Alveloes Also Become Active.
13.
❖ INCREASE INENDURANCE: if exercise is
performed regularly and for a longer
period, it increases endurance
❖ INCREASE IN RESIDUAL AIR VOLUME: it
is that amount of air, which is left in the lungs
after exhalation.
❖ INCREASE IN VITAL AIR CAPACITY: it is the
amount of air which an individual can inhale
and exhale with maximum effort.
❖ Increase in maximum oxygen uptake(VO2
max).
EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON
CARDIO RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
(CONT.)

7.3 EFFECT OFEXERCISE
ON
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
❖ Change In Shape And
Size Of Muscle
❖ Formation Of More Capillaries
❖ Muscles Remains In Tone Position
❖ Controls Extra Fat
❖ Change In The
Connective Tissues
❖ Efficiency In The Movement

SYSTEM (CONT.)
❖ Delays Fatigue
❖ Increase Food Storage
❖ Exercise And Its Health

Muscles Not Ready To Meet The
Demand Of The Sport.
❖ Use Weight And Circuit Training
Methods To Improve Muscular
Strength.
❖ Conditioning Improves The
Neuro - Muscular Co-ordination.
42.
3. BALANCED DIET

❖ Obeying The Rules Of Particular
Game During Training And
Competition Prevents From
Injuries.
❖ On The Other Hand If Player Is
Not Obeying The Rules Of The
Game, He Is More Likely To Get
Injured .
50.
11. PROPER COOLINGDOWN
❖ After Every Practice Session Or Competition,
Cooling Down Is As Important As Warming
Up In The Beginning .
❖ It Should Be Of Light Aerobic Activity
Such As Jogging Etc. (5-10 Min.)
Followed By Stretching Exercises.
❖ Cooling Down Helps In Removing
Waste Products Such As Lactic Acid &
Acid Phosphate Etc. From The Muscles
❖ It Also Helps In Alleviating The
Muscle Stiffness And Soreness.
