Trampolinists A and B have both performed the same set routine on a number of occasions in training. For each attempt they have been awarded an execution score out of 10 by their coach, with 10 being the best possible score.

Table 1 shows the execution scores the trampolinists were awarded for each attempt.

Evaluate whether massed practice or distributed practice would be most effective for their coach to use with:

• Trampolinist A

• Trampolinist B.

Refer to each trampolinist’s stage of learning in your answer.

Which one of the following is defined as ‘an organised group of people associated for some specific purpose or with a shared common interest’?

Ex-public-school boys and university old boys helped spread sport throughout the British Empire during the industrial and post-industrial period (1780–1900).

State three professions that were also responsible for the spread of sport throughout the British Empire during this period.

Explain how mob football reflected the characteristics of pre-industrial British society (pre-1780).

A 2019 survey looked at the physical activity of adults. Table 2 shows the percentage of men and women who completed a minimum of 150 minutes of physical activity per week.

One possible cause of the difference shown is stereotyping.

Define the term ‘stereotyping’.

Analyse how stereotyping may contribute to the difference shown in Table 2.

The number of factories increased in the UK during the industrial and post-industrial period (1780–1900).

Evaluate the impact of this development on the physical activity of the working class:

• at the start of the 19th century
