This is Saraswati Health and Physical Education for Class XII by Dr. V.K. Sharma, published by New Saraswati House in a thoroughly revised, NCF-aligned edition. It is an English medium (Roman script) book — the complete text, diagrams, practical guidance and questions are in English, and there is no Hindi content in it. It is prepared for the CBSE Class 12 Physical Education examination.
Saraswati's Physical Education books by Dr. V.K. Sharma are the standard classroom text for this subject across CBSE schools, and the reason is coverage: the theory, the practicals and the viva are all handled in one book, which matters in a subject where the practical component carries 30 of the 100 marks.
The theory portion follows the prescribed units: management of sporting events and planning in sports; children and women in sports; yoga as preventive measure for lifestyle diseases; physical education and sports for children with special needs; sports and nutrition; test and measurement in sports, including the Rikli and Jones senior citizen fitness test and the Johnson-Metheny and Harvard step tests; physiology and injuries in sports; biomechanics and sports; psychology and sports, covering personality, motivation and aggression; and training in sports with its methods and periodisation.
The practical guidance is what students most often lack. The Class 12 practical requires a file, a fitness test record, a game of choice with its rules, terminology and skills, and a viva. This book sets out the file format expected, the test procedures with recording tables, and viva questions with answers.
Chapter-end questions are given in the current CBSE pattern — objective, short answer, long answer and case-based — and model test papers are included. It is used alongside the prescribed CBSE Physical Education material.
