Question 2 Explain how fitness testing can be used to improve or enhance a training program. When retesting, the reliability of a test is an important factor that must be considered. Explain what reliability is and give two examples of strategies that can be used to ensure that tests are more reliable. It is important to ensure that fitness component tests are specific to the activity for which the fitness component is required. Outline an example using two different sports or activities that would both require a specific fitness component; use this example to demonstrate how a different fitness test would be more specific to each sport due to the different situations in which the specific fitness component is utilized. Explain why Oxygen Deficit and Oxygen Debt occur and their relationship to each other. 6.5 hour revision seminars for just $56 – visit www.ee.org.au for more info. Question 5 The graph below shows the contribution of the Anaerobic Systems and the Aerobic Energy Systems during a 100 metre event, a 400metre event and a 1500meter event. Discuss why the amount of energy contributed from the Anaerobic System is fairly consistent across each of these events even though the demands of the events are very different. Explain how the speed the athletes run at for each event are so different even though the contribution of the Anaerobic System is the same for all three events. Question 6 Nina is a 100m sprinter. She decides to undertake the following training program to improve her results.  Short Interval x3 a week  Circuit Training x3 a week  Swimming x1 a week Consists of 4 reps of the following 6 stations, with 1 minute spent at each station  Arm pulls  10 m sprint  Jumping Squats  Step Ups  Heel Raises  Skipping List 3 training principles that the program demonstrates. Use data to support your answer. Nina’s results begin to improve after starting the program. What are 3 adaptations that would occur as a result of the training and how would they help to improve her performance? 6.5 hour revision seminars for just $56 – visit www.ee.org.au for more info. After a month Nina’s improvements begin to plateau. In order to continue improving Nina decides to apply overload to her program over 6 weeks. The changes and resulting program are shown below. Overloads:  Week 1: Decreased recovery by 10%  Week 2: Increased duration of work by less than 10%  Week 3: Decreased recovery by less than 10%  Week 4: Increased reps from 12 to 13  Week 5: Decreased recovery by less than 10%  Week 6: Increased Duration of work by less than 10% Nina’s results end up decreasing after completing her new program. What is the most likely reason for this and explain why the decrease in results would occur.

He is living with his wife and two children, Jack, 8 and Belinda, 3. He works as an engineer and must work long hours due to the high demand for his skills at work and the recent implementation of mandatory overtime. He finds that he gets very little time for himself as his day consists of dropping his children off at school, before taking an hour to get to work by train, followed by a full day of work and an equally long commute home. At his last visit to the doctor, his doctor found that he had mild hypertension and recommend that Robert increase his levels of physical activity. a. Use the Social Ecological Model to demonstrate an example from each level of the Model that may affect Robert’s level of Physical Activity. b. Outline two strategies that may help Robert to increase his levels of Physical Activity. 6.5 hour revision seminars for just $56 – visit www.ee.org.au for more info. Identify one Subjective Measure and one Objective Measure that David could use to monitor his activity levels. List 2 advantages and 1 disadvantage of each measure. There is a trade-off between the practicality and the accuracy of measures of physical activity. As a result the more accurate a measure is the less practical it is and vice versa. Place the following Physical Activity Measures on the graph below in the correct order in relation to this principle.  Pedometers  Direct Observation  Accelerometers  Recall Surveys Would LIP be of greater importance to a 400 metre track athlete or a Marathon Runner? 6.5 hour revision seminars for just $56 – visit www.ee.org.au for more info. Question 12 Ally, who has been relatively inactive up until now, has recently signed up to do a 10km run in a year with a friend. Ally has decided to undertake a training program to help her prepare her for the event. Her fitness quickly increases after initially after starting the program. However over time she notices that the rate she is achieving her fitness gains is not as great as when she initially started even though she has correctly applied overload to her program. What is the name for the training principle that is responsible for the decrease in the rate of Ally’s fitness gains over time? Draw a graph to exemplify this principle. It is now a just over a month from the 10km fun run. Ally’s fitness has improved greatly and she wants to achieve the best result that she can for the fun run. In order to help her do this, she has asked for your advice about some fitness practices she knows you have covered in Unit 3 and 4 PE. i. Would you recommend this practice for Ally? i. Would you recommend this practice for Ally? 6.5 hour revision seminars for just $56 – visit www.ee.org.au for more info. Question 13 A person’s level of arousal is crucial to how well a person performs. If a person arousal level is too low then it shall impact negatively on performance through factors such as the person being tired, bored and uninvolved in the activity they are performing. On the other hand if a person is too aroused their performance will suffer from factors such as being tense, anxious and over-excitable. Above shows the typical graph for arousal levels. However, for some events the optimal performance zone can vary. Answer the following question based off this information. Label on the graph below where the area of optimal performance would occur for a 100 metre sprinter. Justify why this would be the ideal level of arousal for a 100 metre sprinter. Outline one strategy that the 100metre sprinter could use to reach an ideal level of arousal if he was in the average ‘optimal performance area’ shown in the first graph as opposed to the optimal performance area most ideal to his event. Label on the graph below where the area of optimal performance would occur for an archer. Justify why this would be the ideal level of arousal for an archer. 6.5 hour revision seminars for just $56 – visit www.ee.org.au for more info. Outline one strategy that the archer could use to reach an ideal level of arousal if she was in the average ‘optimal performance area’ shown in the first graph as opposed to the optimal performance area most ideal to her event.
