I related it to the discus thrower. I said the two fitnesses that have the biggest impact on a discus thrower's performance is muscular strength and power. I said that weight training would be very effective but you must have the correct programme and that you should give them heavy weights with low reps and not light weights with high reps as that will improve muscular endurance which won't improve performance. I also talked about long term adaptations such as mitochondria and myoglobin stores increasing and more oxygen readily available so more energy at a single time from respiration so more power resulting in a further throw. I hope that this is a valid point!

My answers are so weak, i struggled on them I didn't understand what they wanted :s I think you'll do really good then based on that answer.
Lol sorry that question was in some past paper, I remember reading the markscheme from Edexcel for it. Doubt anybody will be releasing an unofficial mark scheme for this PE paper on tsr, big 80 marker and not many people doing PE
Why don't we all just make a mark scheme together? I'm pretty certain of how the mark scheme will turn out so why don't we just quickly make one?
the newspaper one was image the one where his friends did it was people the one for close to his home was resources (for the location)
What grade do you think you get or hope for?
well i though you had to be specific so i put media but i dont know... i did short course, can you tell me how much the AOP and the pep worth or give me a link to a source that tells me how much they are worth for short course
What about the circuit training one because that didn't give you a sport?
For that one, I spoke about every method of training, I described what theyre and what you do in them and whether or not they would be an effective method of training. I then summed it all up with a conclusion.
I was thrown a bit by the question on muscle contractions when throwing a javelin, that was horribly worded. Also, how does weight training help a thrower in terms of their skeletal system? I just talked about bone density briefly? Also mentioned applying FITT and progressive overload so they had greater muscle mass and power to throw their objects the furthest.

Was that the one were it said something like 'what type of muscle movement results in moving from A to B' (the javelin thrower 1 mark question). I put isotonic? I agree about the wording. What did other people put? I said bone density & strengthens ligaments and tendons, that's about it.
no, EPO increases red blood cell count. The OTHER peptide hormone in the spec was human growth hormone, which increases muscle mass No I didn't actually, no need to apologise
I thought that the questions about how we're very confusing as the first question was about self esteem and then the next question was about serotonin which all link together?
