INDIVIDUAL/DUAL SPORTS
The main difference between Individual Sports and Dual Sports is the number
of athletes who compete on the same side.
A. INDIVIDUAL SPORTS
It is a sport which is practiced by two opposing individual or one individual.
B. DUAL SPORTS
It is a sport which participants compete as two individual but with one goal.
RUNNING EVENTS
3
1. SPRINT
2. MIDDLE DISTANCE
The middle distance races are the 800m, the 1500m, and the 1 mile long
runs.
These races require different skills and tactics to win that the sprints.
They rely more on endurance and pacing than just pure speed. Also, the
runners do not stay in a single lane for entire race.
They start out in staggered lanes, to make the distance the same for each
runner, but the race soon becomes open with no lanes and runners must to
pass around each other to gain the lead.
3. LONG DISTANCE
There are three main long distance races are the 3000m, 5000m, and the
10,000m races.
These races are similar to the middle distance races, but the emphasis is
even more on correct pacing and endurance.
4. HURDLES
A hurdles race is one in which obstacles are placed at intervals along the
track that the runners must jump over on their way the finish line.
Typical hurdle races are the 100m and 400m for women and 110m and
400m for men.
Timing, Footwork, and technique are keys to winning hurdles events.
5. RELAYS
Relay races are where teams of runners compete against each other.
4
There are typically four (4) runners.
The first runner starts with the baton and runs the first leg handing off to
the second runner.
The hand off must typically take place within a given area of the track.
The second then hands off to the third to the fourth.
The fourth runner runs the final, or anchor, leg to the finish line.
Common Relay races are the 4x100m and the 4x400m.
THROWING EVENTS
1. SHOT PUT
The shot put has been an Olympic sport since 1896 and involves pushing
or putting a heavy metal ball called a shot out of a 7-foot diameter
concrete circle.
The shot weighs 16 lbs. in men's competitions and 8.8 lbs. for women.
The two main methods used in shot put are the spin and the glide.
Most top putters use the spin method.
2. DISCUS THROW
Discus throwing has been a sport since ancient Greece circa 708 B.C. and
consists of throwing a heavy circular disc as far as possible. Up until
1906, the discuss was thrown from an elevated pedestal but modern discus
throwers use a circle similar in size and design to shot putters.
Discus throwing was featured in the first Olympics in 1896 and was one
of the fist women's Olympic events in 1928.
Men throw a discus weighing 4 lb., 7 oz. while women's discus weighs 2
lb., 3 oz.
Discus throwers use rotational throwing technique, which can see the
discuss flying to distances as far as 250 feet.

3. JAVELIN THROW
Javelin throwing was once an integral part of ancient warfare and the
farther a warrior could hurl a javelin, the greater his standing in the army.
The first men's Olympic javelin event was in 1908 and in 1932 for
women.
Originally made of wood, modern javelins are made of metal. Men's
javelins weigh 800 g and women's javelins weigh 600 g.
Javelins can be thrown huge distances and have had to be redesigned as
athletes were generating throws in excess of the length of modern athletics
stadium.
Javelin throwing is the only track and field throwing event that allows a
run up.
4. HAMMER
The hammer throwers of old used to throw blacksmiths hammers.
The hammer used in modern competition does not really resemble a
hammer and consists of a heavy metal ball and a long wire handle.
The hammer is thrown from a 7-foot diameter concrete circle after the
thrower has spun around three or four times.
The hammer used in men's competitions weighs 16 lbs. and the hammer
used by women weighs 8.82 lbs.
JUMPING EVENTS
1. HIGH JUMP
In the high jump event, the athlete gets a running start and must jump over
a bar without knocking it over.
They land on a big soft cushion.
Timing and leaving your feet at the right point as well as how you bend
your body as you go over the bar are all important.
6
There have been many techniques used for high jumping over the years,
but the current, and most successful, is called the Fosbury Flop.
The Fosbury Flop technique involves leading with your head over the bar
and twisting such that your back is to the ground and closest the bar as
you go over it.
Jumpers then land on their back.
2. LONG JUMP
First the athlete must have good speed as they sprint down the runway to
prepare for the jump; next they must have very good footwork at the end
of their run so they can launch as close to the line as possible without
going over the line and faulting; third they must make a good jump; and
lastly they must have proper form through the air and into the landing.
These techniques and skills must be executed to perfection to pull off a
good long jump.
The long jump has been a popular track and field event since the Ancient
Greece Olympics.
3. TRIPLE JUMP
The triple jump is similar to the long jump, but there are three combined
jumps that go into the total length.
These are called the hop, the step, and the jump.
The athlete will first run down the track gaining speed; at the start of the
jump or take off point they will jump from one foot and land on that same
foot (hop); they then jump again, this time landing on the opposite foot
(step); next they jump as far as they can and land on both feet (jump).
4. POLE VAULT
While all of the field events take require technique to excel, the pole vault
may be the toughest to master.
This track and field event, the athlete runs down the track holding a pole
at one end. At the end of the run the plant the far in of the pole into a
metal box in ground and then propel themselves up and over a high bar
using both a jump and the spring of the pole to gain height.
They must get over the bar without knocking it off. They then land on a
large soft mattress for safety.

DUAL SPORT: BADMINTON
HISTORY OF BADMINTON
It was in the 1860s, when some British officers in India who were
stationed at 'Kirkee' near the city of 'Poona' (now known as Pune city)
used to play a game which was very similar to badminton and the game
was known as the 'Poona' game at that time.
These soldiers played with Battledores (Paddles) which was used to hit
the shuttlecock and had also added a net in between the players.
When these British soldiers returned back home at Gloustershire County
in the 1870s, they continued to play this 'Poona' badminton game.
In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party in his country place,
called Badminton. A game of Poona was played on that day and it became
popular among the elite people of British society.
The new party sport became known as "the Badminton game" and started
to grow popular.
The year 1877, is of historic significance for badminton, as the 'Bath
Badminton Club', the first badminton club ever, was formed and also the
first official set of rules were developed.

The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with 9
founding members.

Badminton's primary attacking stroke.
The history of chess can be traced back around 1500 years; started in the North of
India and then spread throughout the Asian continent.
Chess made its way via the expanding Islamic Arabian empire to Europe.
15
The rules of chess changed numerous times until the 1880’s (the romantic era of
chess).
The first official World Chess Championship was hosted in 1886.
The 20th century revolutionized chess with the invention of databases and chess
engines.
CHESS MOVES
King can move exactly one square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. At most
once in every game, each king is allowed to make a special move, known as
castling.
Queen can move any number of vacant squares diagonally, horizontally, or
vertically.
Rook can move any number of vacant squares vertically or horizontally. It also is
moved while castling.
Bishop can move any number of vacant squares in any diagonal direction.
Knight can move one square along any rank or file and then at an angle. The
knight´s movement can also be viewed as an “L” or “7″ laid out at any horizontal
or vertical angle.
Pawns can move forward one square, if that square is unoccupied. If it has not yet
moved, the pawn has the option of moving two squares forward provided both
squares in front of the pawn are unoccupied. A pawn cannot move backward.
Pawns are the only pieces that capture differently from how they move. They can
capture an enemy piece on either of the two spaces adjacent to the space in front
of them (i.e., the two squares diagonally in front of them) but cannot move to
these spaces if they are vacant. The pawn is also involved in the two special move
en passant and promotion.
Castling
Castling is the only time in the chess game when more than one piece moves
during a turn. This chess move has been invented in the 1500´s to help speeding
up the game and improving balance of the offense and defense.
During the castling, the king moves two squares towards the rook he intends to
castle with, and the rook moves to the square through which the king passed.
Castling is only permissible if all of the following conditions hold:
Neither king nor rook involved in castling may have moved from the original
position;
There must be no pieces between the king and the rook;
The king may not currently be in check, nor may the king pass through or end up
in a square that is under attack by an enemy piece (though the rook is permitted to
be under attack and to pass over an attacked square)
