Question : Play has been defined as behaviour for the purpose of fun and enjoyment with no utilitarian or abstract coal in mind. It is suggested that play must serve a number of functions including allowing us to use up surplus energy; it let's rehearse skills; it serves a recuperative; and it helps us to reduce anxiety. A game is a playful competition whose outcome is determined by physical skill, strategy or chance. In play rules are less prevalent then in games, but latter involves competition.

Sports is institutionalized game. It is organised in terms of governing bodies, leagues ,sponsors and managers. It involves technology development in equipment, clothing and facilities. It has symbolic dimension in the form of a ceremony ritual display and secrecy. Finally it has an educational aspect and involves a degree of physicality.

Exercise is a form of physical activity carried out for the purpose of health and fitness the main difference between sport and exercise is competition; also exercise typically does not involve the same degree of institutionalization that characterizes sport.

Sports psychology and exercise psychology can be respectively define as study of thoughts, feelings and behaviour in relation to either the sporting or the exercise domain sport and exercise psychology are actually two endeavours.

The first involves the work of getting information about the role of mental factors in physical domains. It is about the pure science of doing research, including theory building and conducting investigations. In contrast the second endeavour is concerned with applied science. In broad terms given the certanality of competition to sport the sports psychologist is to help athletes to enhance the performance. For the applied exercise psychologist the focus is to help people to lead physically and mentally healthy lives and increasing participation in And enjoyment from physical activity.

The passage describes the sport to have:

Option 1: Aur technical dimension

Option 2: A symbolic dimension

Option 3: An Educational dimension

Option 4: An institutionalized dimension

Question :  Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:
Once upon a time, a psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the typical "glass half empty or glass half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, "How heavy is this glass of water I'm holding?" Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple of pounds. She replied, "From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn't matter. It all depends on how long I hold it.

If I hold it for a minute or two, it's fairly light. If I hold it for an hour straight, its weight might make my arm ache a little. If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up and feel completely numb and paralyzed, forcing me to drop the glass to the floor. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me." As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, "Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and you begin to ache a little. Think about them all day long, and you will feel completely numb and paralyzed incapable of doing anything else until you drop them."
