Yes I found it quite hard compared to all the past papers :/
For the Olympic weightlifter wanting to carry more weight was the peptide hormones or narcotic analgesics? (Multiple choice question)

our teacher said abut 75% as many people do well in the coursework? :smile:
I found I often was unsure what the examiners actually wanted us to write :/ and the last question...just...what? o.O
The whole paper was difficult compared to previous ones I think.

I put narcotic analgesics but i think that the right answer was peptide hormones although both seemed to have made sence!!

had to be narcotics, peptide hormones increase oxygen level but weight training is anaerobic exercise, so it's not needed

But another type of peptide hormone is human growth hormone which increases muscle mass so that you can lift more

Does anyone know what I would have to get on my theory to get an A if i got 45/50 on my practical/course work?

I put peptide hormones, because HGH (human growth hormone - which is a peptide hormone) promotes muscle growth.

But that's not on the specification, you only need to know EPO?
