Figure 1 shows a human skeleton.

Identify the bones labelled A, B and C in Figure 1.

Figure 2 shows an athlete in two different positions (A and B) as the athlete performs a tricep dip.

Figure 2

Use Figure 2 to help answer the following questions.

Identify the joint action taking place at the elbow as the arm moves from A to B.

Identify the main antagonist at the elbow as the arm moves from A to B.

Identify the type of isotonic muscle contraction that is taking place at the elbow as the arm moves from A to B.

Dynamic strength is required to perform in a 1000m rowing race.

Define ‘dynamic strength’.

Justify why dynamic strength is important in a 1000m rowing race.

Chris is an experienced 25-year-old 800m runner.

Table 1 shows Chris’s heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) at the start and during an 800m race.

Draw a line graph on the graph paper below to show Chris’s heart rate at the start and during an 800m race.

Label the axes.

Chris has a resting heart rate of 50 beats per minute (bpm).

Explain why Chris’s heart rate is higher at the start of the race than his resting heart rate.

Explain three factors that can affect Chris’s speed of recovery.

Chris’s breathing rate will change during the race.

Define tidal volume.

Explain the changes that occur to Chris’s tidal volume during the 800m race.

Describe the pathway of blood from when it enters the heart on the right side to where it leaves the heart on the left side.

EPOC is excess post-exercise oxygen consumption.

Explain how EPOC is caused.

Give a sporting example when EPOC is likely to occur.

Define abduction.

Use an example of a sporting action in your answer.

Name the type of joint where abduction can take place.

Delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) can occur after vigorous exercise.

Evaluate the use of ice baths to prevent DOMS.

Figure 3 shows a person performing a back squat.

Identify the class of lever system used at the knee whilst performing the back squat in Figure 3.

Draw a fully labelled diagram to show the class of lever identified in Question 15.1.

Explain why the lever in Figure 3 has a low mechanical advantage.

A weightlifter must calculate their workload intensity correctly.

State how a weightlifter would calculate their workload intensity.

Describe how a weightlifter would calculate their workload intensity if they were trying to improve their muscular endurance.

Discuss whether the One Rep Max Test is a relevant test for a gymnast.

Poppy is a 100 metre sprinter.

Speed is important to Poppy.

Name and describe a test that measures speed.

Define reaction time.

Outline one reason why reaction time is important to Poppy.

Describe the process of high altitude training.

Use a sporting example in your answer.

Evaluate the importance of agility and flexibility in a 200m freestyle swimming race.

Using the principles of training, analyse how the long-term benefits of training are important to a games player.
