Page 5 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2009 0413 01 © UCLES 2009 (d) Name two components of skill related fitness and give examples of how you would recognise these in a skilled performer. One mark awarded for the skill identified and one for the recognition of that skill. The definition needs to imply how this impacts beyond a novice performer. • Agility – the ability to change body position and direction quickly i.e. a basketball player would be able to change hands and direction to beat an opponent when dribbling the ball. • Balance – the ability to hold a position without wobbling or falling over i.e. a gymnast would be able to land following and movement on the mat and hold their position • Co-ordination – the ability to move body parts smoothly and accurately in response to what your senses tell you i.e. a squash player would be able to hold a rally in a game regardless of how the ball came to him • Power – a combination of strength and speed i.e. a power lifter would be able to lift heavy weights • Speed of reaction, timing – speed of reaction is the time it takes to respond to a stimulus i.e. a sprinter would react quicker to the starter’s gun than his opponents. [4]

Page 7 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2009 0413 01 © UCLES 2009 (f) When learning a new skill it is often best to break it down into small parts. (i) Name a skill and describe how it can be broken down. • Candidates can name any skill and need to briefly describe how it might be broken down into components. i.e. Swimming teaching breast stroke leg action using a float, arm action taught separately using float held between legs No mark awarded for naming the skill Skills must be broken down into small coaching activities and not a list of component parts. Only sports that are recognised in the examination spec to be accepted. [2] (ii) There are different types of input that can be received from a coach when developing a new skill. Name one type and give an example of how this might be provided. • Visual – by using demonstrations by the coach, videos, wall charts • Verbal – the coach repeating instructions throughout the activity, giving times, positions etc. • Manual – the coach holds you throughout the movement, a device is used to support i.e. climbing rope, harness in trampolining [2] (iii) Explain why breaking the skill down helps the learning process. • You can only process a certain amount of information at one time; this is called Limited Channel Capacity • Too much information can cause confusion • Breaking down the skill into smaller parts avoids confusion • By breaking down the information it allows you to concentrate on the most important aspects of the skill • More complex skills need to be broken down and each part learnt separately/ combine component parts [3] (iv) Describe how the memory affects the learning of a skill. • Memory is split into short and long term • The information received is placed in the short-term memory. • Information is only retained in the short-term memory for about 2 minutes • If this information is not acted upon it fades so a skill requires practise to be retained. • In the long-term memory we hold information relating to images, taste, sound and smell. This includes sports skills. • Skills are transferred into the long-term memory after a great deal of practise and reinforcement from the coach/ skills can be used again and again • When receiving information the brain concentrates on what is important – this is called selective attention • This process interprets information and decides on a response by scanning the long-term memory for a match [3] [Total marks: 23]

Page 8 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2009 0413 01 © UCLES 2009 Question Unit B2 Part mark (a) Give one reason why teenagers need more energy than a very young child. • Teenagers are more active than young children • Teenagers generally sleep less than younger children • Physically bigger [1] (b) Name one type of muscle and give an example • Involuntary – works without any thought process i.e. the gut, stomach, arteries • Voluntary – any example of a muscle that is attached to a bone and works when you want it to • Cardiac – heart (if described as involuntary give credit) Credit can be given for intercostal muscles as an involuntary muscle [2] (c) (i) Why is it important to be prepared immediately before starting an event? • Helps prepare mentally • Increase heart rate and blood flow • Warms muscles and makes them more flexible • Warms and loosens joints • Allows you to get used to conditions • Involves skills practice i.e. lay up drills in basketball • Helps prevent injuries • Helps to improve performance. [2] (ii) How does a cool down help a performer recover? • Helps prevent soreness by keeping the circulation up • Helps clear away lactic acid / repay • Loosens stiff muscles so they do not get stiff later • It may help a player perform better next time, speeds the recovery process. • Slows the heart rate down gradually to stop the feeling of being lightheaded No credit for injury and ans must be related to the effects on recovery. [1]

Page 9 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2009 0413 01 © UCLES 2009 (d) (i) Regular training increases a person’s vital capacity. Describe the term vital capacity. • The maximum volume of air you can breathe out, after breathing in as deeply as possible. [1] (ii) Why is it important for gaseous exchange to be efficient for a performer be able to play well? • Improve vital capacity – increase the volume of air that is breathed in and out in one cycle of breathing. • Allows muscles to work harder/ longer/ play well. • An increase in the amount of oxygen and CO2 to be removed • Increasing the amount of carbon dioxide delays the build up of Lactic Acid in the muscles. • Tidal Volume – through regular exercise the capacity of the lungs will increase • If Tidal Volume increases more oxygen can be delivered and carbon dioxide can be removed quicker • By increasing the oxygen carrying capacity the body will be able to tolerate oxygen debt tolerance • Improve the removal of waste products [3] (e) (i) There is a level of risk in all activities. Explain how you would assess the risk. • Complete a risk assessment • Check the suitability of equipment, playing area / clothing / environment • Ensure that competition is fair and appropriate [1] (ii) Choose an activity and apart from following the rules, describe three safety requirements that you would expect participants to follow. • The responses must relate to the named activity and not include rules / refereeing etc. Responses should relate to: • Ground / surface condition • Equipment suitability and condition • Clothing • Footwear • Consideration of weather conditions • Appropriate level of competition age, sex, weight • Levels of ability of the participants • How equipment will be lifted or carried • Type of safety equipment needed by participants • Level of safety / supervision • Knowledge of safety requirements and procedures Do not accept warm up [3]

Mark scheme, page 10

Page 10 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2009 0413 01 © UCLES 2009 (f) A performer takes part in the following training session. Activity Time / distance Warm up 10 minutes Sprints 6x 200 m Rest 3 min Sprint 6x 200 m Rest 2 min Sprint 6x 200 m Rest 1 min (i) What type of training is the performer using? • Interval Training [1] (ii) Describe two advantages of this type of training. • You can mix aerobic and anaerobic work • Training can be suitable for most team sports • Training can be suitable for individual / athletic sports / specific to the individual • It is easy to monitor progress by a coach • A great deal of determination is required to complete training which reflects the intensity of the match • Easy to access / little equipment needed [2] (iii) With such a demanding training programme rest between sessions is important. Describe two benefits of taking rest. • Minor muscle damage has time to repair • Stiffness and muscle soreness has time to clear • Prevents boredom • The glycogen store in muscles gets used up during exercise. The store in the liver may also get depleted. Time is needed to replace the stores. • Depending on the type of event recovery period may vary – a marathon runner may need 48 hours to be able to recover the levels of glycogen • Replaces lost minerals • Prevents over training [2]

Page 11 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2009 0413 01 © UCLES 2009 (iv) Apart from time trials, describe one test that could be used to monitor progress. • 12 minute Cooper Run 1. Should be performed on a 400 m track, if not a measured track 2. Markers put down every 100 m 3. Candidates should set off and run for 12 minutes 4. Candidates can walk / run 5. Calculate the distance run using laps and markers as a measure • Multi-stage Fitness Test 1. Equipment needed – gym with 20 m space; tape with pre-corded tape 2. Performers time their run to coincide with an electric beep 3. The test has 21 levels each of which last for one minute 4. The number of shuttles increase at every level of the test 5. When the athlete cannot complete a shuttle before the bleep the level is recorded Other tests can be used as long as they are recognised tests and they are appropriate to measuring aerobic fitness. [3] [Total marks: 22] Question Unit B3 Part mark (a) Give one reason why women might find it difficult to take part in physical recreation. • Limited child care facilities • Lack of opportunities • Financial restrictions • Cultural / traditional / religious restrictions [1] (b) How has television promoted better understanding of sporting performances? • Specialist programmes / documentaries • TV programme promoting awareness • Ex-players involved in presenting programmes and giving detailed information • Game analysis • Replays of matches / events Just televising events/matches not given credit as this does not demonstrate an increase in understanding. [1]

Page 12 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2009 0413 01 © UCLES 2009 (c) Describe three factors that should be considered when planning a new outdoor activities centre. • Location – how isolated is the facility i.e. a climbing centre would need to be accessible for people to be able to visit. • Location – nearness to similar facilities • Environmental issues – would the development of the centre spoil the area • Conservation – possible objections to the planning of any centre • Accessibility – is there a road allowing access to the centre. If public transport is not available young performer will find it difficult to access the facility. How long would it take to get there? • Costs – the area maybe expensive to develop • Costs – equipment to establish the facility can be very expensive to purchase • Due to the above the cost of using the centre maybe very high • Target group [3] (d) Describe three ways that a sports centre can help promote an increase in participation for performers with disabilities. The answers should relate to local initiatives and not national campaigns or the involvement of national competitions etc. Responses should be related to what is possible within an individual sports centre. • Access to the centre – use of ramps, wide doors, automatic sliding doors, easy access to changing areas, Braille signs on hand rails, hand rails etc. • Access to sports areas – hoists to swimming pools, etc. • Sports available that are adapted to enable participants with disabilities to participate • Modified equipment available • Create opportunities within mainstream sports • Ensure coaches with experience of working with participants with disabilities are available • Local campaigns to encourage performers with disabilities to attend the sports centre • Links with local schools • Create specific times when facilities are available [3]
