EXAM PREP – THURS 16th or Fri 17th BTEC SPORT ASSEMBLY EXAM PREP – THURS 16th or Fri 17th

How to ANSWER the HIGH MARK QUESTIONS Look for the KEY WORDS in the question: DISCUSS – write about strengths & weaknesses of each test. EXPLAIN – write about, using an example. ASSESS – is it a good or bad way of testing something. ADVANTAGES – the good things about the test. DISADVANTAGES – the bad things about the test.

Q18 – DISCUSS the use of BIA and skinfold test to predict percent body fat THINK STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES OF EACH TEST. BIA test- Used to measure amount of body fat by sending electric current through body. Strength – shows how much body fat is in your body. Weakness – less reliable if someone drinks a lot of water before the test.

Q18 – DISCUSS the use of BIA and skinfold test to predict percent body fat SKINFOLD TEST – Use skinfold calipers to pinch skin. Strength – cheap to buy skinfold calipers. Weakness – have to be accurate when pinching the skin or test will not be reliable. REMEMBER USE THE WORDS; RELIABILITY – Different conditions make the test less reliable (weather). VALIDITY – Does the test measure what you want it to. (you want to measure leg strength but you do a bicep curl – therefore not valid).

Q13 – Components of fitness needed for sport Q13 – Components of fitness needed for sport. EXPLAIN why a tennis player needs muscular endurance and coordination. THINK! explain what you know about the components and use EXAMPLES. Need MUSCULAR ENDURANCE because in tennis you repeatedly use the same muscles FOR EXAMPLE the shoulder muscles when serving. IF your MUSCULAR ENDURANCE is not good you will not be able to serve well or for as long. COORDINATION is important because the racket and ball are small so you need good timing when you hit the ball. IF you had POOR COORDINATION you wouldn’t be able to hit the ball.

REVISE & REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING Components of fitness – parts that make up an sports person: Agility, Balance, Coordination, power, reaction time, speed FITT – Needed in a training programme: Frequency, Intensity, Time Type. MHR – Maximum Heart rate: 220 – age Borg scale (6-20) – rate of perceived exertion: link to heart rate i.e 6 on Borg Scale = 60 for heart rate Stretching – Active, Passive, Ballistic, PNF (Partner holds for 6 – 10 secs, relax stretch muscle further) Maximum Strength Training – 90% and 6 reps Strength Endurance – 50-60% and 20 reps Elastic Strength – 75% and 12 reps

REVISE & REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING Fitness Tests – Before a test you need to: Calibrate the equipment – make it reliable (fair). Performer MUST fill in a CONSENT FORM. RELIABILITY – weather can effect the test. VALIDITY – Is the test testing what you want. Aerobic Endurance test – bleep test or Forestry step test. Muscular Endurance – sit ups or press ups in 60 secs. Agility – Illinois run Speed Test – 35 metre sprint Power Test – Vertical Jump test

REVISE & REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING Name the equipment Is it……. Sit & Reach board Metronome Grip Dynamometer BIA –Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Sit Up & Press Up Test What test is it used for? Grip Strength Forestry Step Test Percent(%) of body fat Sit & Reach Test Illinois Agility Run Vertical Jump Test (Power) Multi Stage Fitness Test (Bleep Test) V
