The Modern ABC Physical Education for Classes 11th & 12th is a definitive and comprehensive book meticulously crafted to align perfectly with the latest CBSE Physical Education syllabus. Authored by the esteemed Harpreet Kaur and published by Modern Publishers, this book serves as an indispensable guide for senior secondary students aiming to excel in both the theoretical and practical components of their CBSE board exams.
Structured with pedagogical precision, the book begins by thoroughly addressing the Physical Fitness Test component, detailing both the SAI Khelo India Test and the Brockport Physical Fitness Test (BPFT). This foundational chapter equips students with the knowledge to understand and administer these standardized tests, a crucial part of their practical evaluation. The content then seamlessly transitions into in-depth coverage of a wide array of Olympic sports and traditional Indian games. From athletics, basketball, and football to kabaddi, kho-kho, and hockey, each sport is elaborated with clear explanations of rules, fundamental skills, techniques, and official terminologies. Detailed, labelled diagrams of playing fields and equipment further enhance comprehension and aid in the preparation of the mandatory record file.
A significant and standout feature of this book is its extensive and inclusive coverage of sports for CWSN (Children with Special Needs - Divyang). Recognizing the CBSE's emphasis on inclusivity in physical education, the book provides dedicated chapters on adapted sports such as bocce/boccia, sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball, unified badminton, unified basketball, unified football, blind cricket, goalball, floorball, and wheelchair races and throws. This makes it an invaluable and unique resource for all students, ensuring that the curriculum for adapted physical activities is accessible and thoroughly understood. The syllabus clearly allows children with special needs to opt for these sports as an alternative to yogic practices, and this book provides the necessary guidance for that choice.
The yoga section is meticulously developed to cover the practical syllabus requirements. It goes beyond mere listing of asanas by detailing their procedures, benefits, and important contraindications. This is particularly useful for students preparing their record file entries on asanas for various lifestyle diseases, a key component of Practical - 2.
This book is explicitly designed to be a practical companion for securing maximum marks in the 30-mark practical examination. It provides explicit guidance on creating the CBSE Physical Education record file, covering all stipulated practicals: fitness test administration, yoga project work, and sport-specific documentation, including rules, terminology, and labelled diagrams. The viva voce section is supported by the comprehensive content throughout the book, preparing students to answer questions on health, games, sports, and yoga with confidence.
For students targeting top scores in their Class 11 and Class 12 final exams, this book is more than just a book; it is a complete study and preparation kit. The content is presented in a clear, concise, and student-friendly manner, with a logical flow that mirrors the syllabus structure. Keywords such as "CBSE lab manual," "practical notebook," "syllabus-oriented," and "exam-ready" perfectly encapsulate its utility. By integrating theory with practical application and embracing inclusivity, Modern ABC Physical Education by Harpreet Kaur stands as the most authoritative and recommended resource for mastering CBSE Physical Education and achieving academic excellence.
