[1] 2 • Reduces the flow of blood to the damaged area; • Allows blood to flow from the damaged area more quickly; • Prevents other body fluids draining to the injured parts causing swelling. [1] 3 • A centre in a rural area is likely to be smaller than in an urban area / limited amount of equipment / less equipment; • In rural areas the natural environment will be used. Examples can be given credit i.e. use of a lake for sailing. [1] 4 • A skill that takes place in a constantly changing environment; • A skill that has to be constantly adapted; • The skill is mostly externally paced; • The skill is mainly perceptual. [1] 5 • The top / lead official in a club / makes important decisions; • Represents the club at meetings; • Chairs / leads meetings at the club; • Organises the roles of others in the club. [1] 6 • Carbohydrates – provide the most readily available source of energy; • Fat – provide energy; • Protein – builds and repairs muscles and other tissues; • Drinking plenty of water prevents dehydration; • Minerals – builds tissues; • Vitamins –increase resistance to infection, regulates some body functions; • Fibre – regulates the digestive system, helps to retain water.

Ans must relate to training method and not outcome. [2] 9 • Able to access the best / national coaches; • Access medical / dietary support; • Provide opportunities for young performers identified as potential elite performers to develop / participating with the best; • Allow individual sports to use high quality facilities / best equipment; • Provide facilities that enable the top performers to train together; • Allow preparation for major events such as the Olympic Games / high quality competitions; • To bring together top coaches to improve their skills / develop a sport strategy. [2] 10 • The weather – if it is hotter, colder, wetter or more humid with a description of how they affect the performance; • Altitude – at higher altitude the air is thinner. A performer takes in less oxygen at each breath. If a performer is not used to this they will become breathless easily and dizzy; • Pollution – it can damage the performer’s lungs which will reduce performance; • Playing surfaces. Ans must indicate how the factors would affect performance Weather on its own not enough for a mark. [2] 11 • Blood vessels widen (Vasodilation); • Blood flows nearer the surface / blood temperature increases results in radiation; • Sweat glands make more sweat; • Sweat evaporates to cool the skin / sweating; • Shivering when cold; • Body hair will either lay down or stand up to either insulate or increase heat loss; • Blood vessels constrict (Vasoconstriction).

Page 5 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2010 0413 01 © UCLES 2010 Question Unit B1 Factors affecting performance Part Mark (a) • Carry oxygen; • The more red blood cells you have the more oxygen can be delivered to the muscles; • The more red blood cells the longer a performer can work. [1] (b) (i) A Cartilage; B Ligaments. [2] (ii) A Cartilage • Protects the bones and stops them from knocking against each other / absorbs shock; • Forms a smooth slippery coat to the end of the bones to allow easy smooth movement; • Helps in the production of synovial fluid which help smooth movement. B Ligaments • Holds the joint in place to allow movement / joins bone to bone; • Has some elasticity that allows movement; • Provides stability particularly when turning. [2] (c) • Tidal volume would be greater – the volume of air that you breathe in and out would be greater; • Respiratory rate will increase- the number of breathes you take in a minute will be greater for an unfit person; • Minute volume will increase; • Gas exchange would be better as the trained athlete would have an increased number of alveoli in the lungs. / increase in capilliarisation / larger lungs; • When gas exchange improves carbon dioxide can be removed quicker; • Vital capacity will increase – the maximum volume of air that you can breathe out after breathing in as much as you can; • Intercostal muscles would be stronger. [3]

Page 6 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2010 0413 01 © UCLES 2010 (d) Answers must relate to the same activity and offer examples of different methods of providing feedback. • See; • Hear – Knowledge of performance; – Knowledge of results; • Feel. Example – could include: • The coach can tell a batsman the type of stroke to play depending on where the ball lands – length; • Use of video so the batsman can see any weakness and strength. (knowledge of performance); • The coach can describe how the batsman played a shot and provide alterations to technique. In the early stages the coach can give the batsman direct instructions telling him when to lift his bat etc.; • The batsman can feel if the grip of the bat is correct. If the batsman plays a good shot he will be able to feel the shape that his body makes; • Knowledge of results can help if a batsman gets out to certain types of bowling – the coach can provide analysis. If a candidate gives three examples from the same method credit can only be given once. Ans need to describe the method used. [3] (e) • For fun and enjoyment; • Keep fit and healthy / specific to their sport; • Find participation satisfying / need to keep improving / maintain a level of performance; • Provides an adrenalin rush that the performer does not get any other way – extreme sports; • Earn a living – professional sport performers; • To achieve a trophy or award; • To gain a financial reward. [3] (f) • The body changes from using the aerobic energy system to the anaerobic system; • Muscles require a high level of energy quickly / increase the amount of blood to muscles; • Provides explosive energy; • The body can no longer provide enough oxygen to the muscles; • Glucose is used to provide a fast burst of energy; • After a short period lactic acid will form in the muscles; • The performer will gulp extra oxygen; • The player will need to pay off the oxygen debt; • Lactic acid gets turned into carbon dioxide and water. [5]

No injuries accepted unless related to stress. [2] (c) [4] Isotonic Isometric Advantages of using this type of training Strengthens a muscle through the range of movement Quick to do Does not hurt Do not need expensive equipment You can do them anywhere Develop static strength Disadvantages of using this type of training Can make muscle sore Muscles gain most strength at the weakest point rather than throughout During exercise the blood flow to the muscle stops so blood pressure rises which could be dangerous Example of the type of activity for each training method Pull up Press ups Weight lifting Use of a scrummaging machine. Hold a static weight

[2] (ii) • Specificity – the training should be specific to the activity / programme that has been agreed; • Overload – an increase in either time, frequency or intensity; • Progression – gradual increase to avoid injury, increase at a steady level; • A description of how the principles can be applied will be required to gain marks. Any FITT component can only be given credit if linked to overload 1 mark for each principle and 1 mark for its application [4] (e) (i) • More capillaries form within the muscles; • An increase in the amount of blood reaching the muscles; • An increase in the amount of oxygen reaching the muscles; • Muscles improve in their use of fat for energy / muscles allow more energy to be produced; • Muscles become more efficient in their use of oxygen; • Muscles are able to work longer and harder / improve their muscular stamina / higher lactic acid threshold. [4] (ii) • Name of Muscle fibre : Slow twitch fibres; • Fibres do not tire so easily; • Contract more slowly; • Provide less power / contract with little strength. Able to replace their oxygen supply while still working/ aerobic respiration. [3] [Total: 20]

No credit for just school based activity. [1] (b) • Women only sessions / classes; • Crèche facilities; • Day time sessions; • Activities / classes targeted to appeal more to women / cheaper rates for women; • Sessions / classes taught by women; • Advertise activities in key areas that many women spend their daily lives; • Use of role models to encourage participation. [2] (c) • Basketball – adapted for performers in wheelchairs so they do not have to bounce the ball continually when moving; • Football – adapted for the visually impaired by putting ball bearings in the ball; • Rowing / sailing seating in the boats adapted so that performers do not need to use their legs; • Swimming – swimmers who are visually impaired receive a physical indicator when they are 5 m from the end wall; • Athletics – athletes who are visually impaired run with a guide. Sports named must be adapted for the disabled rather than designed for performers with disabilities i.e. wheelchair rugby, wheelchair races [2] (d) • Television provides more detail; • It is easier for the viewer to be able to form an opinion; • It allows greater analysis of the game / learn about the game; • It allows replays to be seen to give greater understanding of the event; • If the game is live on the television an editor cannot fully control what you see. In other forms of the media this may not be the case; • Television has a greater ability to promote an event; • It is easier to access sports events through television / chance to watch your idols / reduces cost; • The viewer can see the action live rather than wait until the next day for a newspaper report. Answers relating to attendance at matches, impact on and for sponsors, changes to rules should not be given credit [3]
