Page 4 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2011 0413 13 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 12 Reduction in performance due to: • demands on their time so less time to train/perform • drug taking to improve performance • stories about their past put pressure on relationships • events may be sensationalised • speculation about their future can place them under stress – football players linked to transfer requests • poor performances are highlighted and pressure placed on them • the media can put pressure on team selection • multi camera angles at games ensure every aspect of a game is under scrutiny/greater analysis of performance.

The examples MUST relate to the named sport.

Page 7 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2011 0413 13 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 The Multistage fitness test (bleep test) • you require a pre recorded tape, tape 20 m apart • when the tape starts you run between the two taped lines. You must complete the run before the bleep • the time between the bleep reduces • when you cannot keep up with bleeps you have to stop • the higher the level achieved (21 levels) the fitter you are Credit can only be give for recognised tests; the list above is not a complete list of tests that can be given credit. [4] (ii) • compare results against previous test to look at progress or lack of progress and adjust training programme accordingly • retest after 6 weeks to identify progress • compare results against expected norms to establish standard of performance • identify the level that a performer needs to reach to make progress • locate strengths and weaknesses • use the data in conjunction with target setting principles to motivate a performer [Total: 25]

[1] (b) • carbohydrates – provide readily available source of energy useful for endurance athletes • proteins – provide small amounts of energy, help grow new tissue which includes muscle tissue • fats – supply about 70% of energy • vitamins and Minerals – calcium forms bones regulate body fluids Credit can also be given for fibre – helps in digestion/prevents long term illness [2] (c) Answers must relate to a game that is played outdoors, games that could be played either indoors or outdoors should be given the BOD due to the variations in experience that candidates may have. Safety checks should include: • surfaces should be free of obstacles • surfaces should be appropriate to the game being played • equipment should be the appropriate size • equipment should not be damaged • footwear should be appropriate • safety clothing should be worn if needed • appropriate clothing/removal of jewellery • teams should be of the same age/ability/size [3] (d) • the rib muscles grow stronger • the diaphragm grows stronger • the chest cavity gets bigger when you breathe in • the lungs are able to expand more • vital capacity increases • more oxygen is taken in with each breath and more carbon dioxide removed • there is an increase in the number of capillaries around the alveoli • increase in the amount of blood available for gas exchange [3]

Page 9 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2011 0413 13 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 (e) Continuous training Advantages: • ideal for aerobic fitness • no need for any specialist training • good for burning body fat • easy to overload by increasing the amount of time or distance in the early stages of exercise Disadvantages • can be boring • progress can seem limited in the early stages Aerobics Advantages: • good fun • classes can be a social activity • can be expensive due to cost of classes and some specialist equipment • works every part of the body Disadvantages • jumping and stamping can cause damage to joints • classes often have a mix of abilities which can be difficult for someone starting Fartlek Training Advantages: • training can use a variety of activities • you can change the speed/pace and rest easily to suit the level of fitness • the variety makes training interesting Disadvantage: • not always easy to determine how hard someone is working so it is not easy to push yourself in the early stages • there needs to be considerable determination from the performer to be able to continue when the harder aspects of training are started Answers should relate to the fact that the person is unfit so weight training would not be an appropriate response. If the responses do not give answer the question no mark should be awarded from just naming a type of training [4]
