Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2013 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.

Page 7 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2013 0413 11 © Cambridge International Examinations 2013 (e) Short term effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system: • Increase in heart rate which prepares the body for activity • Increase in hormone stimulation improving anticipation • Increase in blood pressure • Heart rate continues to work at a steady period beyond exercise as a result of hormone levels before steadily returning to normal • During exercise heart rate increases rapidly • This provides the muscles with O2 and nutrients to provide the muscles with energy • During exercise, cardiac output is increased. Cardiac output = stroke volume × heart rate • During exercise stroke volume increases • (because) more blood is sent back to the heart due to the muscles squeezing blood in the veins • As the heart fills up, it stretches as the muscle fibres stretch; they contract more strongly, pumping out more blood The short term effects of exercise on the respiratory system: • During exercise, the body needs a supply of oxygen to release energy in the muscles This is done by: • Increasing breathing rate by about three times the normal rate • Increasing tidal volume by five times the normal rate • Increasing blood supply to and through the lungs • Increasing oxygen uptake • Breathing rate increases due to demands for more O2 • Blood is immediately diverted from some functions (digestive system) to muscles [4] (f) (i) • Carbohydrate provides the most ready source of energy • Minerals are required by the body for building tissue, for example, calcium forms bones (ii) Carbohydrate [2] • No energy for endurance events / poor energy resources • No stored glycogen for later use when required • Reduced fat stores • Reduced insulation / buoyancy Minerals • Calcium: weaker bones / reduced blood clotting / weaker muscles • Iodine: poor growth / underactive thyroid gland / reduced energy • Iron: less red blood cells / fatigue / low resistance to disease • Potassium: weak muscle contractions / poor skin condition / unstable blood pressure • Sodium: swelling due to fluid build up / cramps • All of the above will result in being more prone to illness [4] [Total: 20]

Page 8 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2013 0413 11 © Cambridge International Examinations 2013 Unit 3 Reasons and opportunities for participation in physical activity 3 (a) • People work fewer working hours / more flexibility in working hours • People work from home so can choose hours to work • Longer holiday periods • Increased unemployment / early retirement • Use of technology results in many having less physically demands jobs so more energy for leisure [2] (b) • It gives players and supporters from different countries the opportunity to meet and develop friendship • It unites people from different races, religions, cultures and classes in a shared interest • Gives the world’s top athletes the chance to compete against each other. This encourages excellence / provides greater challenge • It spreads interest in sport and encourages more people to play / opportunity to watch the best performers / greater interest • Improved infrastructure / use of high quality facilities [2] (c) • Rule changes: introduced through media pressure as a way of making the sport more exciting and appealing, for example the tie break rule in tennis • Undermining officials decisions: use of instant replays in the studio can highlight official “on the spot” decisions as incorrect • Intrusion • The presence of cameramen / interviewers may impede or distract performers • Timing of events: media pressure and financial support of an event may dictate changes to timing of event to maximize audience • Popularity: if the media chooses to / not to feature certain events the sport may decline in participants and general interest / some sports are made more popular / creates greater awareness • Intrusion of individual privacy • Reduced attendance at the actual event • Promotes sport / increases participation / rewards have greatly increased • More people can see, hear and read about sport / changes in perception about certain sports • Some sports become more about entertainment, e.g. WWF wrestling • Creates sports stars which can have both a positive or negative effect on youngsters / more role models • Can inform and entertain • If seen on TV, sports can attract sponsorship, improving facilities, training and equipment / kits used to advertise • Standards of performance increases / greater pressure on performers to play well / more competitions [Candidates are awarded for both positive and negative responses to the question] [3]
