[3] c • Stimulants – reduces tiredness / able to train for longer / stimulates the CNS / more alert / masks pain; • Diuretic – causes rapid weight loss, affects ability to be in weight categories; • Peptide hormones – develops muscles, makes the body use fat, reduces tiredness, recovery from injury and training is quicker, increases the production of red blood cells to help endurance athletes. [3] d • The muscle that contracts or shortens is called the prime mover; • The prime mover is the main muscle in the movement; • Muscles can only pull; • Muscles pull on the bone to produce movement; • To bend the arm, the bicep becomes the prime mover and pulls on the lower arm; • Reduces the angle of the joint. [3] e Examples could be given • Rugby – endomorph high levels of weight would be useful for a forward so they can push in the scrum / not be pushed backwards; Ectomorph small would be useful as a scrum half who has to be quick and agile to be able pass the ball away from the scrum quickly. • Basketball – mesomorph, as a guard the player needs to be quick around the court and physically strong to be able to shoot from distance; Ectomorph would give height to be able to rebound the ball / shoot over the top of other players.

[1] [3] g • Red blood cells – provide energy for the performer; • White blood cells – if a performer cuts themselves they will be able to play again quickly; • Platelets – in contact sports this can prevent the performer from needing to stop playing; • Plasma – made mostly of water, helps blood flow easily carries a number of chemicals including glucose and carbon dioxide. Carries digested food and hormones such as adrenalin. An essential part of gaseous exchange. Plasma transports platelets to speed recovery from injury, delivers substances for growth. [6] Total [25]

[2] c • Without a warm up the body will not be able to adjust to the demands of the exercise quickly; • The performer can become mentally prepared for the event, focused ready to start; • Practice the skills involved in the activity, get used to the environment; • Improve joint flexibility to avoid injury through over stretching; • Increase the heart rate to increase blood flow to muscles; • Warms muscles to increases their flexibility that prevents muscle strains. [3] d • Location – Do they know the area, has a visit been made to know the location / route made clear / people notified of route; • Planning – Is the route or activity planned / are escape routes built into the plan / are rest points built into the timetable; • Participants – How experienced is the group / is the activity suitable for the group / is the group fit enough to complete the task / medical histories of the group / size of the group; • Risk assessment – risk assessment to be completed to evaluate all potential risks; • Safety – are there enough instructors / are instructors suitably qualified for the activity; • Environment – has the weather been checked / tides appropriate if water based / are there plans if the weather changes; • Equipment – all equipment suitable and in good condition / safety equipment available / does the group know how to use safety equipment / first aid equipment adequate and available / appropriate amounts of food and water. [4] e • Glucose is obtained from foods containing carbohydrates; • During digestion enzymes break starch found in carbohydrates into glucose; • Glucose is passed through the wall of the gut into the blood stream; • Some glucose gets stored as glycogen in the muscle to be broken down during exercise / stored in the liver; • Energy is produced when oxygen combines with glucose; • Glucose is used in aerobic respiration when oxygen is present; • This energy source can be used for long periods of time; • When oxygen cannot reach the muscle quickly enough, glucose provides energy very quickly; • This can happen only for a very short period of time; • This is part of anaerobic respiration.
