                                  (1)

8 One mark for each blank filled in correctly.
Deoxygenated blood returns back to the heart through the vena cava and enters the right
atrium. It is then pumped through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. From here
blood travels up through the semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery towards the lungs
where it is oxygenated. This oxygenated blood leaves the lungs and is transported through
the pulmonary vein into the left atrium. From here it is pumped through the bicuspid valve
into the left ventricle. The blood then passes through the other semilunar valve and out of
the heart via the aorta to the rest of the body.
9
      •   Systole is when the heart contracts
      •   Diastole is when the heart relaxes

10 One mark for each blank filled in correctly.
Air enters the body by being drawn in through the nose. It then passes over the vocal cords
of the larynx and into the trachea. This divides into two bronchi. The right bronchus goes
into the right lung and the left bronchus goes into the left lung. The bronchi then divide up
into smaller bronchioles which enable the air to pass into the alveoli where gaseous
exchange takes place.

a
     1. Oxygen
     2. Carbon dioxide

b

     •   Blood arriving in the alveoli has a higher carbon dioxide concentration than the
         concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli so carbon dioxide diffuses from blood
         to alveoli.
     •   Blood arriving in the alveoli has a lower oxygen concentration than the
         concentration of oxygen in the alveoli so oxygen diffuses from alveoli to blood.

14 Answers need to give a benefit with an effect on performance and a rugby example.

         • Hypertrophy of the muscle which can lead to an increase in
             power/strength/speed, e.g. run faster to beat an opponent/tackle more
             effectively.
         • Increase in muscular endurance which means they can work harder for longer/at
             a higher intensity/more resistance to fatigue, e.g. easier to perform effectively for
             the duration of the game.

            further as they reach to tackle.
         • Increase in tolerance to lactic acid/delayed anaerobic threshold which means
            they can work harder for longer/at a higher intensity/more resistance to fatigue,
            e.g. last the whole rugby game.
         • Increased rate of removal of lactic acid which allows them to recover quicker, e.g.
            increasing chances of lasting the whole game.
         • Increased capillarisation at the muscles so more oxygen can reach the
            muscles/aerobically fitter, e.g. work at a higher intensity or harder during the
            game

Overload is where the body works harder than normal so that there is some stress and
discomfort.

Any suitable practical example which mentions increasing the frequency, intensity or time of
the training such as:

     •   Weight training - the lifter will eventually attempt heavier weights or an increase in
         repetitions.

     •   Sprinter may add more high intensity work intervals.

     •   Games player may do more running to increase endurance, thus overloading the
         body.

     •   Power is need in the arms for a hard/fast throw.

16 Any six from:

Arguments for (maximum 3 marks):

     •   Continuous training is long duration training without any rest periods.

     •   A game of tennis is long duration, so it is a relevant method of training.

     •   It improves cardiovascular endurance/stamina/aerobic system which is needed in a
         tennis match.

     •   Activities in continuous training often involve running and this is specific to tennis
         where a lot of running in performed.

     •   It’s a very easy/simple method of training/with no equipment needed.

Arguments against (maximum 3 marks):

     •   However, it should not be the only method of training that a tennis player includes
         in their training programme.

     •   Other methods such as weight training are important to develop power.

     •   HIIT training develops speed/anaerobic endurance.

     •   Plyometric training is suitable for developing arm and leg power.

     •   Fartlek training could be a more suitable method because it varies the intensity of
         activities, which is similar to a game of tennis.

     •   Interval training can improve both aerobic and anaerobic fitness.

     •   Circuit training could be used with skill stations so skills can be improved.

Sport England is an organisation which tries to help people in communities develop a
‘sporting habit for life’ via a variety of different schemes and initiatives. National Governing
Bodies (NGBs) are organisations that assume specific responsibility for their sport (for
example, British Cycling). An annual report which measures and then provides an update on
the sport and activity patterns of various sections of society in England is called Active Lives.
The social groups measured are based on ethnicity, disability and gender. The government
department with responsibility for government policy related to sport is called the
Department for Media Culture and Sport (DCMS).

       There are a variety of different types of media which give a high priority to covering
       sport including social media, the internet, television and newspapers.

       TV companies spend huge sums of money on the broadcasting rights to sporting
       competitions and events, including England’s Test Match cricket and Premiership
       football matches via Sky Sports. If you want to watch certain sports, even on
       subscription channels, you have to pay an extra fee to do so. This is called pay per
       view and it has proved to be very popular in coverage of the sport of boxing (for
       example, Fury versus Wilder). YouTube has become an important outlet for sports
       media companies, including Sky Sports, which uses it to provide highlights from
       Premier League football matches. Sports coverage is also directly available for people
       to watch via social media companies, such as Twitter. While the media tends to focus
       on covering mainstream sports such as association football, rugby, golf and cricket, BT
       Sport has provided a platform for coverage of the Women’s Super League (WSL),
       which has given women’s football much needed income and exposure, promoting
       female participation.

        Anabolic steroids are banned drugs which have been widely used to cheat in sport
        for a number of years. They are an artificial (chemically synthesised) form of the
        male hormone testosterone. They help the athlete to make rapid increases in
        strength by promoting bone growth and developing muscle mass. They also aid
        recovery and repair of muscle fibres after high-intensity movements such as
        sprinting, which allows athletes to train harder and more frequently. Steroids are
        often used as a ‘training drug’ in sports such as weightlifting, sprinting and other
        power-based events.
        Stimulants are banned substances such as caffeine and amphetamines which can be
        used to increase alertness and competitiveness. They aid performance in games by
        reducing reaction time, speeding up reflexes and decreasing feelings of fatigue.
        Stimulants are commonly used in team contact sports, such as American football,
        and sports which require quick reaction times, such as baseball.
        Beta blockers are banned performance-enhancing drugs which help a sports
        performer to keep calm by blocking the effect of the hormone adrenaline. This has
        the effect of reducing a performer’s heart rate, blood pressure and any anxiety they
        may be feeling, which helps prevent their hands shaking. This is sometimes exploited
        in target-based sports such as shooting and archery.
