As he civilization kep on changing different people have different opinions about the concept of physical education. Some called it body culture and some named it health and education recreation. But in present context, the effort of imparting education through physical activities is called physical education. It can be said that today physical education in a integral part of education.

2 Health and Physical Education—XI 1.1 Meaning and Definition of Physical Education Meaning of Physical Education Physical Education is a never ending learning process “phenomenon”. It has its roots in ancient times, i.e., primordial, where it was used in different forms and purposes like searching for food, hunting or protection from wild animals, etc. In ancient times, man needed physical education to stay alive. Among ancient Greek philosophers, Aristotle, Plato and Socrates emphasized on physical training for youngsters. As civilization kept on changing, different people have different opinions about the concept of Physical Education. Some of these are—physical training, a sport, body culture, health education and recreation. But, in fact, physical education is much more than that. In present context, the effort of imparting education through physical activities is called physical education. In reality, physical education is an integral part of education. The word ‘physical’ means body, whereas education means modification of behaviour. Physical Education, thus means “Education through the medium of physical activities”. Physical Education is concerned about learning motor skills such as catching, running, throwing, climbing as well as mastery in skills of games and sports like Kabaddi, Kho-kho, Cricket, Hockey, Football, Athletics. Physical Education aims on overall development of human being, which includes both body and mind. Through participating in games and sports, students learn the values of leadership, cooperation, courage, to accept failure and respecting others. Modern physical education was started in 18th century in Germany, where physical education was an integral part of school curriculum. Since then, many changes have taken place and various aspects have emerged with time such as healthy diet, healthy life-style, physical activities and adventurous sports like Mountaineering, River Rafting, Camping, Surfing, etc. Definitions of Physical Education Physical education is defined in many ways by different experts and organisations, which are as follows: According to Clark W. Hetherington, “Physical Education is that phase of education which is concerned with the organisation and leadership of children in big muscle activities, to gain the development and adjustments inherent in the activities as per the social standards so that the educational process may go on without any handicap”. According to C.C. Covel, “Physical education is the social process of change in the behaviour of humans which originates primarily from the stimulus of the big muscle play and related activities.” According to Roselind Cassidy, “Physical education is the sum of changes in an individual caused by experience centring motor activity”. According to Delbert Oberteuffer’s, “Physical education is the sum of those experiences which come to the individual through movements”. According to J.F. William and C.L. Brownell, “Physical education is the sum of man’s physical activities selected as to kind and conducted as to outcomes”. According to J.B. Nash, “Physical education is that phase of the whole field of education that deals with big muscle activities and their related responses”. According to Central Advisory Board of Physical Education and Recreation (CABPER), “Physical education is the education through physical activities for the development of the whole personality of the child to its fullness and perfection in mind, body and soul”. According to Charles A. Butcher, “Physical Education is an integral part of total educational process, and has its aim for the development of physically, mentally, socially and emotionally fit citizens through the medium of physical activities which have been selected with view to realising these outcomes”.

Changing Trends and Career in Physical Education3 On the basis of these definitions, we can say that physical education is an integral part of education and it is necessary for all. It is not only K E Y POINTSan exercise but the knowledge of body through body itself. Now, it has been proved that the people who take part in physical activities regularly, scale greater heights in their life and succeed in achieving their aims. ★ Ancient Physical Education So, we may conclude that physical education is helpful in development ★ Modern Physical Education and progress that one may lead or live one’s life happily and with good ★ Clark W.

Definitions According to the Ministry of Education—“The aim of physical education should be to make a child mentally, physically and emotionally healthy and strong so that he/she may develop personal and social traits, live in company of others happily and become a good citizen”. According to J.F. Williams—“Physical education should aim to provide skilled leadership, adequate facilities and ample time for the individual and the groups to participate in activities that are physically wholesome, mentally stimulating and socially sound.” According to him, only those activities should be selected for the personality which are beneficial for health. Aims and Objectives of Physical Education Aim is the ultimate one, i.e., all-round development of an individual. The means and ways we adopt to achieve our aim are called objectives and these are: Physical development Mental development Social development Emotional development Spiritual development

4 Health and Physical Education—XI 1. Physical Development: The main objective of physical education is physical development. Physical education is related to several physical activities. When we do any physical activity, it affects our different body systems—blood circulation, respiratory system, muscular system, digestive system, etc. It results in the development of the size and shape of organs. It is helpful to make body healthy and strong. If our body systems are fine and healthy, only then we shall be able to do our work efficiently and be safe from several disease like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and arthritis. For e.g., Running increases the heart rate which helps the blood to flow efficiently through the whole body. 2. Mental Development: This objective is related to mental development. There should be some activities in physical education to keep our brain alert and concentrated. Now-a-days, physical education is not related to physical exercises only but it also includes rules of game, principles, structures of body, balanced diet, healthy and disease free body, personal cleanliness, etc. These physical activities sharpen the brain. By taking part in physical activities a person learn to tackle various situations. During sports, many situations occur in which a player takes his/her self-decision. So, this results in their mental development and decreases the stress level. 3. Social Development: This objective of physical education is related to social skills which are helpful in coordination. During a competition, players of different regions come together on single platform. So, they learn cooperation, support, respect, good sportsmanship, etc. through these skills, players can make their nation healthy and strong. 4. Emotional Development: The objective of physical education is to make an individual emotionally developed through physical activity. A man is endowed with different emotions like happiness, jealousy, hope, despair, joy, fear, loneliness, weal and woe, etc. If they do not control these emotions, then there will be no place for them in the society, which can be harmful for them. Physical education programmes develop these emotions and teach us to control them. 5.

6 Health and Physical Education—XI Owing to increased sports participation and sports related business, there is a need for individuals to train in sports management. Now administration related career opportunities are available in various fields, such as sports administration, management of sports clubs and facilities, sports marketing and promotion. In western countries, colleges and universities offer Undergraduate and Post-graduate degrees in sports management but in India, it is still in its infancy. In India, management and administration are taught as a subject at both Undergraduate and Post-graduate levels. In fact, administrators are required not only in teaching areas but also they are required in areas connected with teaching, such as sports programmes. The explanation of the departments of physical education is as follows: (i) Physical Education Department There are many universities and colleges in India wherein the programmes of physical education are run. There are many job opportunities available related to management in sports departments. The post of Director of sports is available in each university. The Director is held responsible for management of sports for men and women and for the organization of sports. He also supervises the work of trainers and assistant trainers. He should have a sound knowledge of all the rules and regulations. The Director is held responsible for fixing dates for sports competitions, management of officials, lodging and boarding of players preparing sports, transport and budget, etc. In sports department of each state, there are various administrative posts-district sports official, Sports Director, Aassistant Director, etc. Apart from this, the coaches of various games and sports and other officials work under his administration. In western countries, there are also intramurals or campus recreation programmes. In these programmes, the faculty members besides schools take part in it. Their main aim is to promote participation. Their responsibilities are the same as in some other sports departments. (ii) Industrial Recreation Now-a-days, many multinational and national companies are providing opportunities to their staff members to take part in recreational activities. These companies are paying attention to the fitness, health and wellness of their employees. It enhances the working capacity of their employees.

These capable people can give instructions related to physical activities to their employees. These people can also pay attention to the employees wellness and fitness. This profession also has some responsibilities, such as making teams, establishing a programme, making a time-table of programme, etc. (iii) Sports Facility Management There are organizations which they provide facilities to people to recreate themselves and to keep themselves hale and hearty. In today’s world eveyone wants to be physically fit. So, they go to gymnastic clubs, health clubs, sports house, stadiums, swimming pools, etc. These areas need facility managers. The manager of sports facilities can carry out all the responsibilities by himself or he can keep some staff under his instructions. His main responsibility is to make sure of the safety the people who are availing of these facilities. He is to be sure that the equipments are as per standard norms. He should also take care of the safety of the people and spectators visiting there. There are many opportunities increasing in this field. 2. Coaching Career Sector There are job opportunities available in the field of physical education as coaches/trainers because training develops the confidence, dedication and team spirit in players. Coaches help the players to get success. They are ideal for players on field and outside the field. These opportunities are available both in schools and sports clubs. A coach is required in a school to train students in the field of physical education. A coach can be appointed only for coaching a team.

Changing Trends and Career in Physical Education 7 In colleges and universities, coaches are required to train different teams for various competitions. Apart from this, there are coaching jobs available in sports clubs, hotels, professional team, social parks and government sector. There are advantages and disadvantages of this profession. 3. Health Related Career Sector In the modern world, people are more aware of their health related issues. Each and every person is aware to his health. He wants to remain to be hale and hearty. He wants to keep away from blood pressure, heart attack, heart problem, obesity, diabetes, etc. He wants to adopt a healthy lifestyle. So, there is an increase in job opportunities in health-related careers in the field of physical education. The number of health and weight control clubs have increased tremendously. That is why teachers of physical education are in great demand. These health clubs are based on the people’s desires of looking good, physically fit and sound. These health clubs are in demand and their main aim is to gain a lot of money. In fact, it has become a big business. These clubs provide different activities but fitness activities are one and the same. There are different games, such as squash, tennis, swimming, sauna bath, steam rooms, massage, etc. Apart from these, the facilities of saunas, steam rooms and massage are also available. Here, customers are instructed with regards to their activities, diet and nutrition as well, so that they may achieve their goals. As there is an increase in awareness related to fitness and wellness, there are more and more job opportunities in this field. Physiotherapist: They treat the player’s prolonged diseases, pain and injuries. They are also experts in treatment and rehabilitation. Sports Dietician: They suggest the diet elements to increase the health and performance of players. They can work as the professional dietician of national and international teams, gyms and clubs.

Athletic Trainer: They make a list of exercises after training which helps the players to overcome pain and improve playing capability. But they work under guidance of Physiotherapist. So, it can be said that there are a lot of job opportunities in this field of physical education, but the scope is limited in India. 4. Performance Related Career Sector The performance related careers are as follows: (i) As Players Players take part at different levels like inter-college, inter-school, district level, state level, national, international level and in olympics. The players’ who become successful in sports competitions, are able to make their careers as players. In India, scholarships are given to good players. For good players, various government and non- government companies like defence services, banks, airlines, railways, etc. offer the job opportunities. In western countries, various players in ten years of their profession/career in baseball, basketball, football, hockey, cricket, tennis, etc. earn a lot. They earn much more money than the players who work life long-in their jobs. The ‘New York Yankees’ releated professional players get the most handsome salaries in the world. Martina Navratilova (tennis player) earned 2 million dollars per year through commercial advertisements. In 1971, Bill Jean King was the first woman tennis player who won 1,00,000 dollars per year. There are many such examples in cricket as well in India like Virat Kohli, M.S. Dhoni etc. (ii) As Officials Good management of any sports of games depends upon efficient and talented officials. A player plays and performs for 10 or less years. Afterwards, these players make their career as officials because they have come

8 Health and Physical Education—XI to learn about the game thoroughly. So, the job opportunities are part-time or full-time as officials—referee, umpire, time-keeper, recorder, scorer, etc. Their requirement depends on the competitions to be held every year. It is also a good job opportunity related to sports. The former players can also make their careers by becoming officials. If players after their retirement become officials; they should have sound knowledge of their respective games and sports. A good sports official should do his work efficiently and in a good manner. 5. Careers in Sector The various means of communication—T.V., radio, newspaper, magazine, etc. have contributed a lot in covering sports events and promoting them far and worldwide. TV channels—Star Sports, Star Cricket, Ten Sports, etc. give sports coverage round the clock. (i) Sports Journalism The person who has the ability to write can choose their careers in sports journalism. Sports correspondents have the opportunity to work in unison with different newspapers and magazines because these journals print sports news boldly and in efficient manner. Sports correspondents can write articles, etc. related to any sports. Covering of a sports event is the important part of this career. Apart from this, interviewing coaches/players is also the duty of sports correspondents. Stories based on research compiling statistics are the main part of sports correspondents. A sound background of physical education can be beneficial to a sports journalist, For example, sports journalist with the ample knowledge of sports may be better able to explain to the public while some sportsperson fail to perform under pressure, whereas other sports persons give better performance. A sports journalist with the knowledge of exercise psychology may explain better what happens psychologically to athletes when they make efforts to finish marathon race. No doubt, career opportunities in sports journalism are ample but this field requires keen interest and talent in writing, self-confidence, knowledge of the terminology of sports, the capacity of being neutral while having friendly behaviour with players, knowledge of language, knowledge of sports rules, the dare of telling truth to the players and officials in meetings, etc. (ii) Book Writing Books on physical education are quite less in India. So, there are more opportunities of writing. If a person has good knowledge of sports biomechanics, sports sociology, sports medicine, exercise physiology, research methods, sports psychology, sports philosophy, sports pedagogy, sports management, etc., he can write books and make his career. But he should have a flair for writing, concentration, focus, deep knowledge, etc. (iii) Sports Photography This career is suitable for those people who are keen to click the photographs of sports events. But they must be highly skilled in sports photography. They can get excellent opportunities in working with sports magazines and journals. But the sports photography require patience. They should know the best angle for taking photographs. They should have sound knowledge of projections, trajectory and other important terms in the field of photography. (iv) Book Publishing Book publishing is also good option in the field of physical education. But the book publisher should have sound knowledge of physical education and its sub-disciplines, i.e., health education, recreation and other related subjects. For such work, one needs the knowledge of physical education, writing and other related skills. Some people are required in sales area. Their duty is to sell books across the country. For this, they should have the knowledge of physical education and the price for the books available in market. They should have the understanding of market and sales. So, one can make a career in book publishing as well.

Changing Trends and Career in Physical Education 9 (v) Sports Broadcasting Sport’s broadcasting has also become a popular career. It includes TV, radio, cable TV for local, regional and national levels, etc. A career can be made in this field. One should not only have a sound knowledge of sports but also have an excellent appealing voice. The players/people anticipated that this career should have the knowledge of skills, rules and other related discipline. A reporter should study physical education in such manner how players prepare themselves for sports competitions. A reporter should have the knowledge of sports because people treat him as an expert in the field. He should not feel shy while speaking in front of a camera or microphone. He should have excellent speaking skills. He should have knowledge of all sports— football, volleyball, basketball, hockey, cricket etc. and also have a sound knowledge of the background of each player. (vi) Marketing of Sports Equipment With the increase in interest for sports, health and physical activities, there is also an increase in the sale of sports equipment. Now, companies hire people who have knowledge of physical activities and can endorse sports equipment keeping in mind the needs and demand of sports equipment in today’s changing world. A consumer expects a salesman to be an expert in all sports equipment. Salesmen should have the knowledge of the needs of customers and knowledge of sports equipment. Here, the career opportunities are galore because there is more interest for physical activities, sports and fitness. (vi) Sports Industry There are lots of opportunities for making a career in sports industry. Sports equipment and clothes are always in demand so that players can perform better during complications and practice. A player can establish sports industry at low level. It can be related to T-shirts, track suits and shoes. But one should have the knowledge of designs as well. As few years ago athletes use loose shorts but now they use skin fit because it decreases the air resistance. So, we can say that in the field skin fit shorts keep the athletes more fit and agile in compare to the earlier time. Practice Questions 1.3 I. Short–I Question Answers (3 Marks, 100 Words) 1.

2Unit Olympic Value Education KDniodwYou?Contents 2.1 Olympics, Paralympics and Special Olympics 2.2 Olympic Symbols, Ideals, Objectives and Values of Olympism 2.3 International Olympic Committee 2.4 Indian Olympic Association Introduction Olympic Movement is a wide term. It gives the understanding of Olympic participation in its activities in past and present along with the development of games and sports for competitions or more appropriately we can say that it is the link between Ancient Olympic Games and Modern Olympic Games and development of competitive sports activities at various levels. For better understanding it is important to know the journey of Ancient Olympics to Modern Olympics first. Ancient Olympic Games (776 BC – 393 AD) History reveals that Hercules came to Olympia to offer a sacrifice to god Zues. He celebrated his victory by organising an athletic contest and gradually these games were forgotten until when Iphitos became the king of Elis. During that century the Greeks faced civil wars and three kings Elis, Sparta & Pisa in Greece concluded a treaty known as ‘Sacred Truce’. Around 776 BC these game were organised at the city named Olympia as their religious festivals and from then Olympic games achieved some importance and representatives of whole Greek used to gathered at Olympia and exhibited their unity. These games were held in the honour of god Zues, who once appeared on the grounds of Olympia. The people of Olympia constructed a magnificent temple of god Zues and started the tradition to offer sacrifice. Later, son of Zues, Hercules started various games and sports in the honour of his father. ➡ Modern Olympic Games was restored after 1503 years of closure of ancient Olympics. ➡ Three times Modern Olympic Games were not conducted due to World War 1 and 2. ➡ Paralympics was organized in 1948 with London Olympic Games. ➡ ‘Spirit in Motion’ is motto of Paralympics was introduced in 2004. ➡ “International Paralympics committee” and “Special Olympic Organization” are the recognized by International Olympic Committee. ➡ The tenure of President of International Olympic Committee for eight years and extended for four years only once. ➡ Olympic Flag is made in 1913, Inaugurated in 1914 and waved first time in 1920. 20

Olympic Value Education 23 Paralympic Games The Paralympic games is a multi-sport event for athletes with physical, mental and sensorial disabilities. These games are held every four years following the Olympic games and are governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). The IPC organises summer and winter Paralympic games. The word ‘Paralympic’ is derived from the Greek preposition ‘para’ (beside or along side) and the word ‘Olympic’. It means that the Paralympics are the parallel games to the Olympics and illustrate how the two movements exist side by side. The Paralympic games originated at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Great Britain. In 1944, Dr. Ludwig Guttmann, a German spinal injuries doctor, opened a spinal injuries centre at the hospital to treat war veterans through rehabilitation sports. These gradually evolved to recreational sports and then to competitive sports. The Stoke Mandeville games were first organised in 1948 with London Olympic games. They were later called the Paralympic games. In 1960, they took place in Rome, Italy. Since then, they have taken place every four years. The categories for the Paralympic games include (i) Amputee, (ii) Cerebral Palsy, (iii) Intellectual disabilities, (iv) Wheel-chaired, (v) Visually impaired. Paralympics Values 1. Courage: Through their performances, para-athletes showcase to the world what can be achieved by testing one’s body to its absolute limits. 2. Determination: Para-athletes have a unique strength of character that combines mental toughness, physical abilities and outstanding agility to produce sports performances that regularly redefine the boundaries of possibilities. 3. Inspiration: As role models, para-athletes maximise their abilities, thus, empowering and exciting others to participate in sports. 4. Equality: Through sports, para-athletes challenge stereotypes and transform attitudes. They help increase inclusions by breaking down social barriers and discrimination towards people with special needs. Paralympics Motto The Paralympic motto is ‘Spirit in Motion’. The motto was introduced in 2004 at the Paralympic games in Athens. The previous motto was ‘Mind, Body, Spirit’ which was introduced in 1994. Paralympics Symbol The symbol of the Paralympic games is composed of three ‘agitos’ coloured red, blue and green (colours that are most commonly represented in national flags around the world) and encircling a single point on a white field. The word ‘agito’ (meaning ‘I move’ in Latin) is a symbol of movement in the shape of an asymmetrical crescent. This Paralympic symbol was approved in April, 2003 and was first used in the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games in Turin, Italy.

24 Health and Physical Education—XI Paralympics Flag The Paralympic flag has a white background with the Paralympic symbol in the centre. Flame and Torch Relay In the Paralympic flame and torch relays, the flame travels through the regions of the host country. In 2013, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) declared that UK will be involved in all flame and torch relays of the Paralympic games in order to commamorate the Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghampshire, as the birthplace of the Paralympic movement. On the day of the opening ceremony, the flame reaches the main stadium and is used to light a cauldron situated in a prominent part of the venue to signify the beginning of the games. It is then kept burning throughout the games till the closing ceremony, when it is extinguished to signify the end of the Paralympic games. Medals The Paralympic medals are awarded to the top three sports persons in different events. A gold medal is awarded to the winner, followed by a silver medal to the first runner-up and a bronze medal to the second runner-up. For every Paralympic games, the medals are designed differently and reflect the host of the games. Paralympics Oath The Paralympic oath is a solemn promise made by all athlete participating in—as a representative of each of the participating Paralympic competitors; and by one judge—as a representative of each officiating Paralympic referee or other official, at the opening ceremony of every Paralympic games. The athlete from the team of the organising country holds a corner of the Paralympic flag while reciting the oath. “In the name of all the competitors, We promise that we shall take part in these Paralympic games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.” The judge, also from the host nation, holds a corner of the flag but takes a slightly different oath. Paralympics Order The Paralympic order is the highest tribute a person connected with the Paralympic movement can achieve. It honours people who have exemplified the Paralympic ideals through their actions, made remarkable strides in Paralympic sports or rendered outstanding services to the Paralympic cause. The recipients get a medal with the IPC logo on it. Paralympians at the Olympics Paralympic athletes have sought equal opportunities to compete at the Olympic games. The precedent was set by Neroli Fairhall, a Paralympic archer from New Zealand, who competed at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. In 2008, Oscar Pistorius, a South African sprinter, attempted to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Pistorius had both his legs amputated below the knee and races with two carbon fibre blades manufactured by Oscar. He holds Paralympic world record in the 400 meter event. Pistorius missed qualifying for the 2008 Summer Olympics in the 400 meter race, by 0.70 seconds. He qualified for the 2008 Summer Paralympics where he won gold medals in the 100, 200, and 400 meter sprints. In 2011, Pistorius qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics and competed in two events: he made the semi-final in the 400 metres race; and his team

Olympic Value Education 25 came 8th in the final of the 4 × 400 metres relay race. Even though all athletes are given equal opportunities to participate in these events, such as the 400 meter race, there has been growing criticism that the games may not be fair to all athletes. For example, athletes running a race with a left prosthetic leg may have the disadvantage than those with a right side prosthesis because the races are run in an anticlockwise direction, giving some athletes an advantage. Some athletes without a disability also compete at the Paralympics. The sighted guides for athletes with a visual impairment are such a close and essential part of the competition that the athlete with visual impairment and the guide are considered a team, and both athletes are medal winners. Special Olympics Special Olympics is the world’s largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities and physical disabilities, providing year-round training and competitions to 5 million athletes and Unified Sports partners in 172 countries. Special Olympics competitions are held every day, all around the world— including local, national and regional competitions, adding up to more than 100,000 events a year. Like the International Paralympic Committee, the Special Olympics Organization is recognized by the International Olympic Committee; however, unlike the Paralympic games, Special Olympics World games are not held in the same year or in conjunction with the Olympic games. The Special Olympics World Games is a major event put on by the Special Olympics. The World games alternate between summer and winter games, in two-year cycles, recurring every fourth year. The first games were held on July 20, 1968 in Chicago, Illinois, with about 1000 athletes from the U.S. and Canada. International participation expanded in subsequent games. In 2003, the first summer games held outside the United States were in Dublin, Ireland with 7000 athletes from 150 countries. The most recent World Summer games were held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (The largest event in Special Olympics World games history), from March 14 to 21, 2019. This was the first Special Olympics World games to be held in the Middle East. The next World Summer games will be held in Berlin, Germany in 2023. This will be the first time that Germany has ever hosted the Special Olympics World games. The first World Winter games were held in 1977 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Austria hosted the first Winter games outside the United States in 1993. The most recent Special Olympics World Winter games were held in Graz, Schladming and Ramsau, Austria from March 14, 2017 to March 25, 2017. During the World Winter games of 2013 in Pyeongchang, South Korea the first Special Olympics Global Development Summit was held on “Ending the Cycle of Poverty and Exclusion for People with Intellectual Disabilities,” gathering government officials, activists and business leaders from around the world. The next World Winter Games will be held in Åre and Östersund, Sweden between February 2 to 13, 2021. This will be the first time that Sweden has ever hosted the Special Olympics. Symbols The Special Olympics logo is based on the sculpture “Joy and Happiness to All the Children of the World” by ZurabTsereteli which was a gift to SUNY Brockport when the university hosted the Special Olympics in 1979. The logo has gone through several changes in its lifetime. The “stick figure” is an abstract but humanistic form designed to convey the impression of movement and activity. The logo is a symbol of growth, confidence and joy among children and adults with disabilities who are learning coordination, mastering skills, participating in competitions and preparing themselves for richer, more productive lives.

26 Health and Physical Education—XI In 2018, the Chicago Park District erected the 9.1 m “Eternal Flame of Hope” in honor of the Special Olympics. The sculpture by Richard Hunt stands in a plaza next to Soldier Field, where the first games were held 50 years earlier in 1968. The Flame of Hope is the name given to the torch that is carried to and lit at Special Olympics games. As part of the Special Olympics 50th Anniversary celebration that year, a new mission called the “Inclusion Revolution” was launched. Practice Questions 2.1 I.

Olympic Value Education 27 Olympic Motto Olympic motto consist three Latin words: Citius Altius Fortius Faster Higher Stronger These words mean that a person should always strive for faster, higher and stronger level. Olympic Flame The Olympic flame symbolizes knowledge, life and happiness. It is a sort of symbol of peace. This flame is ignited in the Olympic village of Greece and various players while running pass it on to one another and carry it to the place where Olympic games are being held. This flame is not allowed to extinguish. The flame keeps on burning till the Olympic games last. Olympic Flag On Baron de Coubertin’s suggestion Olympic flag was made in 1913. It was inaugurated in Paris on 19 June, 1914 and it was first waved in Antwerp Olympic games during 1920. It is made of white silk wherein 5 rings are interconnected. These rings represent the world’s five continents—America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa. Each ring has a different colour—yellow, green, red, blue and black. Their interconnection symbolizes cooperation and friendship. The white colour represents peace. The Olympic flag suggests that the games should be played peacefully. Olympic Award The first winner in Olympic games is given a gold medal; the second one a silver medal and the third one a Bronze medal. Apart from this each of the three players is given a diploma. The next five winners are given one diploma each. There are some games in which joint 3rd place get bronze medal such as Wrestling, Boxing etc.

28 Health and Physical Education—XI Olympic Ideal Before the start of the Olympics everybody remembers the famous quote of Bishop Pennsylvania—“The important thing in Olympics is not to win, but to take part. The important thing in life is not the triumph; but struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well”. Olympic Oath This oath was initially written by Pierre De Coubertin which became a part from 1920 Antwerp Olympics. In order to participate in Olympic games all athletes get together in the stadium and take oath in the opening ceremony of Olympic games. The country which hosts Olympic games, one of its representatives holds the flag and comes forward. All participants including the athletes who hold their respective national flags come to their respective places. The athlete (representative) takes oath on behalf of all athletes and all the athletes lifting their right hands repeat the words of oath taken by the representative athlete. In the name of all competitors, “We swear that we shall take part in these Olympic games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without dopping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our country.” First time the oath regarding Doping and Drugs was taken in 2000 Sydney Olympic games. Oath for Officials: In the name of all the judges and officials, “We swear that we shall officiate in these Olympic games with complete impartiality, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them in the true spirit of sportsmanship.” Objectives of Olympic Games The following objectives can be achieved through Olympic games: (i) Developing the spirit of patriotism and brotherhood in players. (ii) Diverting the attention of all countries towards physical education and sports competitions. (iii) Developing personality, character, social qualities and health among youth. (iv) Formation of good habit among young so that they may lead a happy and prosperous life. (v) No discrimination on the basis of caste, colour and creed. (vi) To develop the unity, brotherhood and coordination amongst the different nations. (vii) To make a peaceful and good universe. Olympic Values If we look at the objectives of Olympic games, we come to learn that Baron De Coubertin wanted to develop values through Olympic games. The following values can be developed through Olympic movement: 1. Brotherhood: Olympic movement is instrumental in developing brotherhood when players of different countries play together, come together, sit together, dine together—they develop unity among themselves. Thus brotherhood develops. 2. Impartial game: The Olympic games provide opportunities for impartial games. These games are based on justice. So, each player and each team should be judged fairly. Rules and regulations should be applied to each and every team. There should be no partiality towards a specific team or player. The sports officials should be true to their words and actions. “Live by code or get out”—such slogans should be raised.

Olympic Value Education 29 3. No discrimination: According to the suggestion of Mr. Coubertin, there should not be any discrimination on the basis of caste, colour and creed. Olympic games promote the spirit of brotherhood and try to abolish discrimination. The players of different countries, cultures, tradition, and caste— take part. They should not treated unfairly. The players forget their background or roots and they help promote Olympic values. But exceptions are always there. In 1972, Olympic games in Munich, Israelli players were killed ruthlessly. In 1936, Berlin Olympic Jesse Owens bagged four gold medals but on the grounds of racial discrimination. Adolf Hitler refused to honor Jese Owens, some countries have vested interest in these games. They want to prove that they are a better than the other countries. But it can’t be stated that Olympic movement has failed to promote values, we should have positive outlook so that values may be promoted through Olympic movement. 4. Friendship: Olympic movement presents such opportunities as instrumental in developing friendship not only among players but also among countries. Players of different countries come to take part in Olympic games. When they get together, they become friends. Even when there is tension going on between two countries, they come close to one another through Olympic games. 5. Respect: This value motivates the players to show sportsman spirit. Every player should retrospect and also respect the opponents, rules of game and environment. 6. Values—friendship, brotherhood, unbiased sports and partiality free: It can be said that Olympic plays an important role in development of these values but a dark side of Olympics is also seen. Many countries participate in Olympics just to show their superiority on other countries. This is also a downfall of these values that many countries of the world boycotted 1980 Moscow Olympics and 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. The Olympic movement fails to develop the above said values. There should a positive thinking towards these values so that these values can be developed. 7. Excellency: This value motivates a person to give the best performance on field and outside the field.
