0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 2 of 18 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors.

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 10 of 18 Question Answer Marks 12(e) Answer may relate to specific goal-setting principles or may be more general. specific – training is not always specific so time is wasted on unnecessary training / developing irrelevant skills; measurable – cannot measure if progress is being made; agreed – if there is no agreement with a coach they might not work collectively towards a common aim; realistic – setting goals that are too difficult may demotivate a performer; time-phased – if the training is over too short a period little progress will be made / if too long the performer will lose interest; exciting – if training is not exciting boredom will set in and the performer will not put in as much effort / may lack focus; recorded – if the results in competition / training are not recorded it becomes difficult to compare to previous results to see if they are ready for competition / if progress has been made; lack of motivation to perform well as there is little requirement to do well / reduction in effort; increase anxiety / loss of confidence if unsure of progress; performer may not improve; overtraining / injury may occur if working too hard; 4 12(f) One mark for each fitness component applied to the named sport. For example in basketball: cardio-vascular endurance – has the ability to maintain a high level of performance when the game goes into overtime / last the full length of a game; body composition – being tall enables a performer to shoot over smaller players; flexibility – the ability to stretch to catch a high ball when rebounding the ball; muscular endurance – able to perform multiple jumps if needed to rebound the ball without becoming tired; speed – to be able to run into position to receive the ball before an opponent / be involved in a fast break; stamina – being able to continue to run a fast break late in the game; strength – being able to shoot the ball from outside the 3-point line / able to protect the ball when rebounding; If no examples are described allow one mark only for naming four components. 4

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 11 of 18 Question Answer Marks 12(g) Must include both circulatory and respiratory system for full marks. Maximum three marks for a list of changes. Example changes with benefits may include: stronger cardiac muscle / increased stroke volume / cardiac output; as more blood is pumped by the heart to the muscles the muscles receive more oxygen and can work for longer; lower resting heart rate; the heart rate will take longer to reach maximum so less energy is needed to work as hard; more efficient gaseous exchange; increase in the oxygen available / carbon dioxide removed so oxygen debt builds more slowly; recovery rate increases; recover from exercise more quickly, which allows performers to repeat exercise; increase in vital capacity / tidal volume / respiratory muscles become stronger; allows more oxygen to be available so muscles will be able to work for longer and slow the build-up of lactic acid; oxygen debt tolerance increases; oxygen debt occurs more slowly as more oxygen can be breathed in per breath, performer can work for longer / performer can work for longer before the effects of lactic acid reduce performance / increase the duration of performance / delays fatigue; increased capillarisation; increases the supply of oxygen and blood flow / faster gaseous exchange so increased oxygen uptake and removal of carbon dioxide; Accept other relevant changes and benefits. 6

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 12 of 18 Question Answer Marks 13(a) physical well-being; mental well-being; social well-being; 2 13(b) prepares mentally – the short duration of a sprint event means a performer must be focused from the start; muscle injuries are more likely to occur when involved in high-intensity exercise / during fast contractions; a sprint event will place great pressure on muscles immediately; a sprinter will need to have greater flexibility immediately / flexibility may be a benefit a distance runner in the final sprint but joints would be warm at this stage; the sprinter will need an immediate response so heart rate must be raised to ensure that there is already an increase in blood flow to muscles; 2 13(c) One mark for description of how ice should be applied. One mark for each benefit. how to apply: applied to the area when wrapped in a towel / eq. / remove after stated time / repeat process / ice should not be applied directly onto skin; benefits: reduces swelling; reduces pain / numbs; reduces blood flow to the injured area; Accept speeds recovery. 3

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 13 of 18 Question Answer Marks 13(d) temperature receptors in the skin detect changes in temperature and relay information to the brain / hypothalamus; when the body temperature rises: the body sweats / sweat glands release water and salt onto the skin; the heat of the body causes the water to evaporate / which removes energy / cools the body; vasodilation takes place / blood flows nearer the surface of the skin; heat is lost through radiation; body hair lies flat to allow heat to escape; when the body temperature falls: body hair stands up to trap body heat; shivering starts to create movement to warm the body; vasoconstriction occurs to reduce the flow of blood close to the surface of the skin / to reduce heat loss through the skin; the core body temperature is protected to allow essential organs to function; 3 13(e) Answers must indicate the checks a group leader would make immediately before. Examples should be relevant to the chosen activity. weather conditions are suitable for activity; correct equipment available, e.g. ropes for rock climbing; all participants are wearing appropriate clothing / personal safety equipment / additional warm clothing / water-proof clothing / suitable footwear; check leader has first-aid kit; an appropriate number of experienced / qualified instructors are present; all participants have a supply of water / supply of energy foods / bars; telephones are charged / GPS is functioning / have a compass; everyone has access to a map as appropriate to activity; all of the group are well on the day of the activity / all medicines that are needed are present and secured; all safety instructions / emergency plan in case of injury / incident are discussed with the group; route / names of participants / contact information are left with a third party, as appropriate to the activity; Accept other checks that are appropriate to a specific activity. 4

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 14 of 18 Question Answer Marks 13(f) One mark for naming each training method. Two marks for the benefits of each method of training. Examples must relate to a games player: Examples may include: fartlek training: the change of pace can replicate the nature of play in a game, e.g. footballers need to change the intensity throughout the game when the need to sprint occurs; reduces overuse injuries by varying between high and low intensity activities, e.g. long rallies versus short points in tennis; develops both aerobic and anaerobic capability, which is needed during game play, e.g to enable a player to last the whole game but have the ability for explosive action; weight training: increase in muscular strength, e.g. needed for a rugby player to tackle an opponent; reduces the risk of injury in a game, e.g a player is less likely to have muscle injuries as they can cope with forceful and sudden muscle contractions when a sudden change of pace takes place; may improve flexibility, e.g. to enable a basketball player to stretch and reach a rebound without losing control of the ball; plyometric training: increase in explosive power, e.g. a defender in football can react more quickly to sprint towards the ball; increase in the ability to have intense bursts of energy, e.g a volleyball player will be able to repeat high jumps to block the ball at the net; increase explosive strength, e.g. in the line-out a rugby forward will be able to jump vertically to take the ball; circuit training: can be used to develop a variety / number of fitness components needed for a particular sport, e.g. shuttle runs to replicate demand of closing down a player; can place skills under pressure with skill-based stations / circuits can focus on specific weaknesses of the performer / the circuit can be performed at high intensity / game pace, e.g. to replicate dribbling a hockey ball at speed; the variety of exercises prevents boredom, e.g reversibility can reduce the quality of performance if a player does not maintain the motivation to work hard in training; 6
Mark scheme, page 15
0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2018 © UCLES 2018 Page 15 of 18 Question Answer Marks 13(f) continuous training: increases the performer’s aerobic capacity / ability to sustain effort over time, e.g. a footballer can last the whole game without tiring; increases lactic acid tolerance, e.g. a football player is able to perform to a high standard if game goes to extra time; burns calories to maintain an appropriate body weight, e.g. appropriate to use to maintain weight in close season for most games players; interval training: allows the distances a games player would run in a game to be broken down into smaller units, e.g. the intensity of training can be increased as there is recovery time for players; allows a player to increase the intensity of training, e.g. a basketball player would be able to train at game pace; can develop speed or endurance as both are needed by games players, e.g. a netball player can sprint to beat an opponent to the ball / a hockey player is able maintain a high tempo to the game without a reduction in the quality of passing; resistance training: can be used to recover from injury, e.g. swimming for injured footballers as it helps to build or repair muscles / does not put joints under pressure; different exercises can replicate certain movements from a sport, e.g. lats pull down can help strengthen the shoulder to increase the power of a tennis serve; machine weights (scrum machine) allow targeting of specific muscle groups, e.g. develop power in the legs to enable a performer in rugby to push in the scrum; Question Answer Marks 14(a) Examples may include: secretary – arranges meetings / keeps minutes of meetings / keeps club members informed of developments; treasurer – looks after the club’s finances and manages bank accounts; chairperson / president – the top official in the club / represents the club at key meetings / chairs meetings; fixtures secretary – organises fixtures against other clubs / internal competitions / organise officials; membership secretary – deal with new members / advertise for new members; coach – provides individual / group instruction / coaches team / oversees the progress of players / selects team; Allow description of other relevant roles, e.g. a grounds keeper. 2
