A. The ability to meet the demands of the environment

B. May be able to meet everyday demands of environment but have a

cold or the initial stages of a more serious illness/equiv

Continuous training does not involve breaks in the session, whereas interval training does.

Interval training is anaerobic / high intensity, continuous is aerobic / low intensity

Accept interval training is anaerobic, continuous training is aerobic

Note: needs ref to both of these lines for mark

(7)

A. Cardiovascular fitness.

B. Body composition.

(8)

A. Agility.

B. Coordination.

(9)

A. If the performer was injured, ill or demotivated and stopped training/equivalent.

B. Progressive overload means gradually increasing the work you do/equivalent.

If you increase the work, ie you lift more weights you will be stronger, therefore fitter/equivalent.

Notes There needs to be a definition and an explanation, a link between the principle and why fitness increases; it would not be enough to just say you get stronger.

(10)

A. R — Realistic.

B. i) So it is possible to see whether progress has been made.

ii) To reduce times by 1/100 of a second/equivalent.

A. i) Station 6: Bowling at a target/Station 2: Hitting a ball against a wall.

B. ii) These stations do not relate to either of the sports George plays (basketball and badminton).

Method: Weight/weight training/ resistance/ resistance training.

Justification: To increase her strength/build muscle/increase distance thrown/more power on thrown.

Miss Saunders is coaching the school netball team and has designed a circuit

training programme for the team to follow.

Evaluate whether circuit training would be the most appropriate choice of training

method for the netball team.

Indicative content

Positives (why most appropriate)

1. Use of different stations provides a flexible training method

2. E.g. players can work on fitness and/or skill

3. E.g. players can work at different intensities within same circuit by altering

number of repetitions/equiv

4. E.g. netball players may need to work on agility to improve ability to dodge

so ‘tailor’ station to reflect this

5. Accept other relevant examples

Discussion of other possible choices

6. Games players would benefit from Fartlek training as this can be adapted to

match the changing pace of the game/equiv

7. Cross training could be used to combine circuit training with Fartlek training

8. Although skills can be included in the circuit not all players require the same

skills e.g. shooting/equiv

9. Accept other relevant examples relating to other training methods

10. Conclusion given

11. Relevant justification for conclusion given

(17)

Characteristics

1. use of stations

2. circular order

3. alternate use of muscle groups

4. set number of reps/circuits/heart rate/time

5. caters for large numbers/small space/limited specialist equipment/equiv

6. variety of exercises/no boredom

7. sports specific/general fitness/aerobic or anaerobic

Explanation

8. fitness increased through increasing number of reps/FIT/equiv

9. e.g. strength increase through increased weight bearing stations/equiv

example for any aspect of fitness

10. health increased through benefits of exercise – reduction in blood

pressure/equiv example of health benefit
