Being tall benefits a basketball player; • Flexibility The range of movement at a joint allows performers to stretch more, reduces chances of injury. Needed for a gymnast; • Muscular endurance Muscles can repeat contractions without tiring, allows a performer to work longer without muscle tiredness. Footballers able to play for the whole 90 minutes; • Speed Move body or part of the body quickly – be able to run quickly.

[2] b Lactic acid production • Lactic acid is produced during anaerobic respiration; • Oxygen cannot be supplied to the muscles quickly enough to produce energy aerobically; • When oxygen is not present, carbohydrates are converted into glycogen, this is used as an energy source, anaerobic respiration; • Anaerobic exercise can only last a short time; • Lactic acid is produced as a waste product of anaerobic respiration. Effect • Muscular pain / muscles burn / muscle stiffness / muscle cramps; • Muscles cannot continue to work / tiredness. [3] c Types of Drug Effect Danger Tranquillisers Reduce anxiety and calm you down The user feels dull and lacking in energy. Addictive. Sleep problems Diuretic Masks other drugs, able to lose weight quickly Sodium and potassium salts gets excreted as well as water. Muscle weakness Narcotic analgesics Kill pain, give the feeling of well-being Addictive, low blood pressure, withdrawal symptoms, unaware of injury so gets worse. [3] d • Frequency – increase the number of training sessions each week i.e. train 4 times rather than three each week; • Intensity – increase the distance of the training run inside a set time run at a faster pace i.e. 5 k in 35 rather than 40 mins; • Time – run for longer, increase the length of time that the runner takes for a training session i.e. run for 10 minutes longer each session; • Training activity – the type of training session must be endurance based i.e. continuous training. [3]

Page 5 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – October/November 2015 0413 12 © Cambridge International Examinations 2015 Question Unit B1 Factors Affecting Performance Mark e Endo-mesomorphic body type • Large body mass; • Broad shoulders; • Muscular body; • Strong forearms and thighs. Benefits • Size to be able to push / not be pushed in the scrum or ruck; • Mobility to be able to run with the ball in open play; • More difficult to tackle / easier to tackle others. [4] f (i) (ii) • Specific – by making the target specific, a new performer would be able to focus on one thing, either the time, distance or performance and not be concerned about other aspects ; • Measurable – by giving a target that can be measured and compared to either previous performances or performances of others progress can motivate a beginner to continue to train; • Agreed – both the coach and performer will agree the target, this allows a new performer not to feel out of control of their training; • Realistic – the target needs to be something that the performer is capable of achieving, is not too difficult in the early stages, if the target can be achieved it can be highly motivating; • Time-phased – time should be set for the target to be completed, if it is too soon the target will not have been achieved and failure can be de-motivating, too far away and interest can be lost; • Exciting – targets need to be exciting and challenging which will make them rewarding when they are achieved / motivation when training becomes difficult; • Recorded – the targets need to be recorded so that a record of progress is maintained, being able to look back at the progress made can inspire a performer to work hard. • Gives direction to training; • Having a goal allows you to feel more in control of training; • A goal motivates the performer to work hard / provides greater motivation to achieve the next goal when achieved the first goal; • It allows for better mental preparation as the performer knows what to focus on / allows performers to monitor progress.

Page 6 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – October/November 2015 0413 12 © Cambridge International Examinations 2015 Question Unit B1 Factors Affecting Performance Mark g Answers must be applied to the learning of a new skill. • Input – information is received from inside and outside the body / information can be heard, seen or felt. Information is collected by the balance detectors in the ear, in the skin or from muscles and joints / too much information at an early stage can cause confusion; • Decision making – the brain processes the information before making a decision / in the early stages the information comes from the short term memory / it concentrates on what it considers important – selective attention / the brain scans the long term memory to interpret the information / information will only be in the long term memory if it has been practiced a great deal / in the short term memory the skill has to be re-learnt so there are often mistakes at this stage; • Output – this is the point at which the performer completes an action / the greater the level of practice the better the outcome / when learning a new skill the outcome will be inconsistent; • Feedback – feedback is important at the early stages of learning a skill / feedback can come from a coach giving you information / the outcome of the output – was the shot successful in basketball or did it miss. The feedback can be part of the input, so helps inform your next decision and correct mistakes. [4] Total [25]

[3] d • Weak, rapid pulse; • Feeling of being weak and dizzy; • Muscle cramp; • Headache; • Nausea and vomiting; • Profuse sweating; • Dehydration / excessive thirst. Treatment • Lie down in a cool place; • Sip weak solution of salt in water / water; • Cold flannel on the body. [4] e • Bone width and density increases; • Bones produce more red blood cells; • Prevents osteoporosis. • Joints become more stable; • Joints wear and tear can result; • Flexibility increases. • Muscles increase in size (hypertrophy); • Muscular endurance increases; • Muscles, tendons, ligaments around the joint get stronger.
