It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2019 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level components.

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 2 of 22 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 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 3 of 22 GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 20 of 22 Question Answer Marks 16(b) Accept any 4 factors explained. Explanations must be linked to appropriate ages / age changes. for example: access: elderly may require lifts / disabled car parking spaces; discrimination / age restrictions: some sports have restricted access and fewer opportunities for the elderly, such as in contact rugby / weight training; education: once people leave school the ease of access to equipment / facilities / opportunities is generally reduced; environment / climate: the elderly may be less able to cope with extreme conditions; family: young children reduce time available / grandparents may need to look after children / older more independent children may mean more time is available / parent–child parking spaces increase ease of participation for those with children; financial considerations: when people get older and retire they may have less money available so sports such as golf may become too expensive to play / or may become mortgage free etc. having more disposable income; media coverage / role models: depending on age group, specific opportunities to participate can be promoted / raising awareness of opportunities; role models: fewer older role models means less encouragement to participate; time and work commitments: change as we get older, working affects time available / more time available when retired; general reduced fitness / reduction in named fitness component: as you get older there is a general decline; strength: less able to take part in contact sports / high-intensity sports due to muscle atrophy as you get older / strength may improve up to young adulthood; flexibility: declines in the elderly / restricts movements / some sports not possible, e.g. gymnastics; reaction time: the elderly are generally slower to react to a stimulus so less able to take part in activities such as cricket where fast reactions are needed; 4

Accept other relevant suggestions. for example: providers ensure parking is close to entry point of facility; access to the building is appropriate, e.g. ramps / sliding doors / wide doors; have hearing loops / braille signs / good-quality lighting / clear signage; guide dogs welcomed; changing rooms have wide doors / cubicles with wide doors / easy access toilets / showers; swimming pools have hoists; campaigns nationally and locally to encourage disabled participation / links with schools to encourage participation; use of media to raise awareness of disability sport, e.g. Paralympics coverage; more disabled role models; advertise facilities / disabled activities available; provide competitions for disability groups; have more disabled sports teams / more disabled sports clubs; provide specialist coaches / have coaches available with knowledge / experience of working with disability groups; provide adapted / specialist equipment; employ people to aid disabled performers; 4
