The diagram shows a shot putter.

Identify two possible benefits of genetic screening in shot put.

Using sporting examples, distinguish the physiological characteristics of high-intensity and endurance activities.

A 1500 m runner accelerates at the start of a race until they reach their desired speed. In the final stage, they sprint towards the finish line. After the race, they perform an active recovery. Explain the phenomena of oxygen deficit and oxygen debt (EPOC) during and after the race.

Explain why an elite basketballer would be able to process relevant sporting signals more effectively than a novice.

Using examples, describe how three different types of drag can be reduced in swimming.

Define the term fatigue in sport.

Explain two possible physiological causes of fatigue during a maximal push-ups test.

A chronic adaptation of aerobic training is an increase in hemoglobin. Outline how this adaptation would benefit an athlete running a marathon.

Apply Newton’s second law of motion to the distance travelled by a golf ball after beingstruck.

Outline how the Bernoulli principle affects a golf ball in flight.

Outline different types of drag and ways they can be reduced in swimming.

Discuss reasons for recovery following a soccer game.

Using examples, outline the features of a skilled performer.

Using examples, identify types of drag that can be decreased through practice.

Discuss the relative contribution of genetic factors and environmental factors on a tennis player’s performance.

Explain the causes of peripheral fatigue in a long-distance road cyclist.

Outline six structures in an animal cell.

Discuss the relative contributions of the three energy systems for a runner during a 100 m sprint and a 10 000 m race.

Discuss the oxygen debt process which occurs during recovery after a 10 000 m race.
