(i) Male aged 40 programme should show: Frequency • Starting with one or two sessions per week and increasing only slightly during the programme, plan sessions so that there are rest periods, do not train on consecutive days, needs to be convenient to do. Intensity • Programme should be progressive using sub-maximal weights, low impact aerobic exercises, programme should start at an easy level to ensure the individual does not become demotivated, both repetitions and exercise periods should slowly increase, ensure rest period to avoid distress. Time • In the early stages sessions should last about 30/ 40 minutes but increase as the programme develops. Training activity • Identify the training need of the individual, areas to improve, in the early stages 20mins of aerobic activity and 15mins muscle training - increasing, ensure variety of exercise, include activities such as swimming, walking to ensure generalized conditioning. (ii) The Runner Frequency 3/4 sessions per week, decrease if approaching a race, possible use of back to back training sessions.

Page 4 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE EXAMINATIONS – JUNE 2003 0413 1 © University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate 2003 Intensity Training could have a hard session followed by easy sessions, sessions must contain period when athlete is working at maximum effort. Time Sessions should last about an hour, increasing during the period of six weeks but becoming shorter as races approach. Training Activity Endurance based in preparation for distance running technical work, interval training, activities must be specific for the activity, limited use of muscle development – weights. Marks should be awarded for examples of training. To gain full marks candidates must apply FITT to both 2/3 programmes. 3/2 Total 20 marks Health, Safety and Training 2(a) All body systems free from injury and illness, able to carry out everyday physical tasks. 1 (b) Rules must reflect the activity - no mark should be given for naming the activity, e.g. throwing the javelin - throw must be from a specific point and in a specific direction. Rules specific to the named game/activity can be accepted if they relate to safety, e.g. football – players must wear shin pads. 2 (c) The body has stronger muscles throughout the range of movement, muscles increase in size, increased speed of muscle contraction, reduces/increases flexibility/ suppleness, improves cardiovascular efficiency, improves posture, develops muscular endurance, general improvement in health, improves balance, increase in body weight due to muscle density. 2 (d) (i) R rest - to prevent blood from leaking stay still I ice - place an ice pack for 20/30mins C compression - firmly use crepe bandage E elevation - support limb in an elevated position to reduce blood flow (all components for 1 mark) 1 (ii) RICE should be used for minor strains and sprains, bruising from collisions or falls. It must NOT be used for fractures or dislocations. 2

(ii) It allows periods of recovery during the activity, it allows training to take place over a greater distance than his/her competition distance, the athlete should work within himself, can be adapted to suit a variety of activities, it can be easily adjusted to suit levels of fitness. (iii) Difficult to know how hard people are working, needs to have a great deal of time to be effective, participants need to be determined, it is easy to skip the hard activities, can lack variety. Continuous (i) Training without rest. (ii) Ideal for aerobic fitness, no need for specialist equipment, easy to overload, good for burning body fat, trains the body to use body fat rather than carbohydrates, ideal for people who are out of shape can work sub-maximally. (iii) Can be boring, does not improve sport speed, can become stressful when aerobic threshold is increased. Aerobics (i) You exercise every part of the body. (ii) Usually a fun activity, has social appeal, appeals to people with low levels of fitness, no specific skills are needed, can be either low or high impact. (iii) Jumping and stamping can cause damage to joints, often taught in classes which makes it difficult to train when you want, classes can have a range of fitness levels which can make it difficult for the less fit. 1-2-2 (f) The answer must relate to Aerobic - Anaerobic - Oxygen debt. During the first part of the race respiration will be aerobic. Breathing will be shallow. Breathing will be under control. The system allows stored fats to be used rather than carbohydrates. Energy will be produced by oxygen combining with glucose. Energy is used in muscle contraction and turned into heat. Carbon dioxide is carried away by blood. Waste is excreted through lungs. The second part of the race the athlete starts to work with maximum effort.

Page 6 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE EXAMINATIONS – JUNE 2003 0413 1 © University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate 2003 Anaerobic system is used - the body needs energy and it cannot reach the muscles quickly enough, glucose produces energy although less energy is produced it is done so much quicker. Breathing becomes deeper. Some of the energy is turned into heat. Lactic acid is produced which makes the muscles tired and is removed by breathing in more oxygen. The final part and after the event extra oxygen is needed to remove the lactic acid. Oxygen debt. Oxygen is gulped into the lungs. Lactic acid is turned into carbon dioxide and water. 7 Total 20 marks Reasons and Opportunities for Participation 3 (a) Scholarship, Trust funds, Sponsorships. 1 (b) Advertising on a large scale. Image. Tax deductible finances. Use the opportunities as a PR exercise. Promote a product that has advertising restrictions. Create worldwide markets. 2 (c) Inherent factors, i.e. body type, etc. Quality of coaching. Access to facilities. Structure (lack of) in the relevant sport. Access to equipment. Medical support. Personal support/level of motivation. 2 (d) Use of replays puts the decision under scrutiny. Some sports use replays at the games to make/confirm decisions. Video replays can cause a lack of confidence in officials. Technology not always available at lower levels. Players less able to cheat. Players can be held to account even if officials miss misconduct. Ensure consistency in giving decisions. Speed of games has increased/officials are unable to keep pace. 3 (e) Advantages - high quality of facilities, gives choice, provision must reflect public interest, not directly subjected to local government changes, easier access. Disadvantages - usually situated in areas of high population, tends not to support minor sports, reduces local authority need to provide facilities, private companies unable to use dual

Health - too strenuous activities, women were not strong enough. 3 (ii) Increase in the number of role models, increase in the range of activities available, society’s view of fitness has changed, increase in the range of opportunities available, women have greater earning opportunities, specific activities for women, schemes to encourage women to participate, equal opportunities legislation, increase in activities covered in girls’ PE programmes in school, increase in media coverage of women's sports, recognition that events are not too difficult/demanding for women. 4 Total 20 marks
