7 General marking guidance All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first. schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than be penalised for omissions. Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie. All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme. Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification/indicative content will not be exhaustive. When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate s response, a senior examiner must be consulted before a mark is given. Crossed-out work should be marked unless the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response. ing guidance for levels based mark schemes How to award marks The indicative content provides examples of how students will meet each skill assessed in the question. The levels descriptors and indicative content reflect the relative weighting of each skill within each mark band. Finding the right level The first stage is to decide which level the answer should be placed in. To do this, use a best-fit approach, deciding which level most closely describes the quality of the answer. Answers can display characteristics from more than one level, and where this happens markers must use the guidance below and their professional judgement to decide which level is most appropriate. Placing a mark within a level After a level has been decided on, the next stage is to decide on the mark within the level. The instructions below tell you how to reward responses within a level. However, where a level has specific guidance about how to place an answer within a level, always follow that guidance. Statements relating to the treatment of students who do not fully meet the requirements of the question are also shown in the indicative content section of each levels based mark scheme. These statements should be considered alongside the levels descriptors. 3

8 ers should be prepared to use the full range of marks available in a level and not restrict marks to the middle. ers should start at the middle of the level (or the upper-middle mark if there is an even number of marks) and then move the mark up or down to find the best mark. To do this, they should take into account how far the answer meets the requirements of the level: If it meets the requirements fully, markers should be prepared to award full marks within the level. The top mark in the level is used for answers that are as good as can realistically be expected within that level If it only barely meets the requirements of the level, markers should consider awarding marks at the bottom of the level. The bottom mark in the level is used for answers that are the weakest that can be expected within that level The middle marks of the level are used for answers that have a reasonable match to the descriptor. This might represent a balance between some characteristics of the level that are fully met and others that are only barely met. 4

32 Question Answer 2 One mark for importance of platelets, one mark for an example of how this will impact on performer. Any one from: Platelets help the blood to clot for example, during a rugby tackle a player may receive a cut to the head which will need to stop bleeding before the player is allowed to return to the game (2) AO1 1 mark AO2 1 mark Platelets help the blood to clot for example, if during a road cycling race, a cyclist fell, they could cut their leg causing it to bleed Platelets help the blood to clot for example, if a performer had an accident resulting in a cut a few days before a swimming competition the platelets would block the cut Accept other appropriate responses showing: One mark for reference to clotting (AO1) One mark for suitable expansion Example (AO2) Why this is important to performance (AO2) 28

33 Question Answer 3 One mark for protective function, one mark for an example of how protective function aids performance and one mark for appropriate expansion of explanation. Any one from: Protection reduces the chance of the performer becoming injured, for example in football the cranium protects the brain/the sternum protects the heart therefore players can head the ball/tackle to improve their game/make use of aerial play/are able to continue to train/play (3) AO1 1 mark AO2 2 marks Protection reduces the chance of the performer becoming injured, for example the cranium protects the head in football when heading/in boxing when being punched therefore performers can head the ball/prevent being knocked out Protection reduces the chance of the performer becoming injured, for example in football the cranium protects the brain/the sternum protects the heart therefore players can head the ball/tackle to improve their game/make use of aerial play/are able to continue to train/play Protection reduces the chance of the performer becoming injured, for example in rugby the ribs protect the lungs/the vertebral column protects the spinal cord therefore players can engage in physical contact/tackle with reduced chance of spinal injury/paralysis making it possible to play the game Protection reduces the chance of the performer becoming injured, for example in the high jump the ribs protect the kidneys/the vertebral column protects the spinal cord therefore the high jumper can perform the Fosbury flop/land on back without fear of injury, making it possible to jump higher because they can use this technique Accept other appropriate responses showing: One mark for protective function Reduces chance of injury (AO1) Up to two marks for suitable expansion Example (AO2) How this aids performance (AO2) 29

34 Question Answer 4 One mark for identifying a role of the skeletal system that relates to the dancer s position (AO2) and a maximum of two more marks for appropriate expansion to justify its relevance (AO3a/AO3b). Maximum six marks Any two from: In order to achieve this shape the dancer needs to be able to bend her back this is only possible due to the series of joints in the vertebral column. Each joint allows a small amount of movement to create the arch (6) AO2 2 marks AO3 (analysis) 2 marks AO3 (evaluation) 2 marks The dancer needs to be able to move her skeleton to achieve this shape, this is possible because the bones of the vertebrae provide sites for muscle attachment so that when the muscles contract they pull on the bones of the vertebral column allowing the dancer to achieve this aesthetic shape The dancer needs to be able to support her body weight to achieve this position, this is possible due to the strength of the bones of the foot so that as the dancer goes onto her toes the bones are not damaged so can continue to take the dancers weight throughout the routine In order to achieve the shape the dancer must be able to point her toes this is only possible due to the shape of the bones forming the joint at the ankle as these bones form a hinge joint, the dancer is able to plantar flex her ankle Accept other appropriate responses. One mark for identification of link between the skeletal system and the dance position (AO2) Joints for movement Muscle attachment Support Range of movement Up to two marks for suitable expansion (AO3) What the skeletal system does for the dancer (AO3 - analysis) Consequence of this (AO3 - evaluation) 30

35 Question Answer 5 (a) One mark for one of the following: transport of carbon dioxide transport of nutrients regulation of body temperature AO1 1 mark Question Answer 5 (b) One mark for identifying vasodilation as the mechanism of vascular shunting, one mark for appropriate expansion and one mark for evaluation. As a result of vasodilation of blood vessels to the working muscles there will be an increase in O2 delivery to these muscles therefore the athlete can produce sufficient energy to meet exercise demands (3) AO2 2 marks AO3 (evaluation) 1 mark Accept other appropriate responses. Question Answer 5 (c) One mark for correct identification from diagram: C represents a vein AO3 (analysis) 1 mark Question Answer 5 (d) One mark each for each appropriate reason for choice of blood vessel based on Figure 4: Capillaries are the linking blood vessels between arteries and veins They are the smallest of the blood vessels as they are only one cell thick (2) AO2 2 marks Accept other appropriate responses. 31

36 Question 6 (a) and 6 (b) Answer One mark for each correct response. Muscle Function Specific sporting movement Triceps Extend the arm at the elbow Arm action in follow through of a set/jump shot in basketball or netball Deltoid Flexion of the Ball toss in tennis shoulder Accept any other appropriate examples of specific sporting movements for the stated muscles. Accept other appropriate function of the deltoid. (4) 6 (a) AO1 2 marks 6 (b) AO2 2 marks Question Answer 7 One mark for identifying link to physical activity and a maximum of two more marks for appropriate expansion of why this impacts on tidal volume. Any one from: (3) AO2 3 marks When we start to exercise, demand for oxygen increases to meet these demands our depth of breathing/breathing rate increases but this is insufficient on its own therefore tidal volume is also increased When we start to exercise the need to remove carbon dioxide increases to meet this demand our depth of breathing/breathing rate increases but this is insufficient on its own therefore tidal volume is also increased When we start to exercise we need more energy in order to produce more energy we need more oxygen therefore we increase tidal volume to increase oxygen intake Accept other appropriate responses. 32

37 Question Answer 8 One mark each for the following linked points. Any one from: Increased breathing rate means that the alveoli have a high concentration of oxygen as the capillaries surrounding the alveoli have a low concentration of oxygen and the capillaries and/or alveoli have thin walls so gas exchange can take place/diffuses from high concentration to low. Therefore, the blood in the capillaries circulates to the muscles/provides the muscles with additional oxygen to aid recovery (4) AO1 2 marks AO2 2 marks Due to demands of the exercise there is a lower concentration of oxygen in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli compared to the concentration in the alveoli this creates a diffusion gradient so the oxygen in the alveoli can diffuse/transfer to the capillaries to help recovery Accept other appropriate responses showing: Up to two marks for how capillaries and alveoli work (AO1) Up to two marks for expansion and application to the demands of the exercise (AO2). Question Answer 9 One mark for each for the following linked points. AO3 - analysis: Increase in carbohydrate intake three days before the marathon Drop in fat/protein intake three days before the marathon (5) AO2 3 marks AO3 (analysis) 2 marks AO2: This indicates that the marathon runner was carbohydrate loading in order to make sure they had sufficient glycogen/energy/stored carbohydrate so they could maintain race pace over the 26-mile race, to compensate/maintain their calorie intake/prevent overeating they needed to reduce their fat/protein intake Accept other appropriate responses. 33

38 Question Answer 10 One mark each for the following correct answers: Carbon dioxide Water (2) AO1 2 marks Question Answer 11 (a) One mark for identifying each joint action from the Figure and a maximum of two more marks for each appropriate expansion of antagonistic muscle action (up to six marks). One mark each for the following linked points. Knee Any one from: extension (of the knee)/(knee) extension as the hamstrings relax to allow the quadriceps to contract the hamstrings and the quadriceps work together the hamstrings relax whilst the quadriceps contract to bring about extension at the knee (6) AO1 4 marks AO3 (evaluation) 2 marks Hip Any one from: flexion (of the hip)/(hip) flexion brought about by the relaxation of the gluteus maximus so that the hip flexors can contract the gluteals and the hip flexors work together the gluteals relax whilst the hip flexors contract to bring about flexion at the hip Accept other appropriate responses showing: One mark for determining correct antagonistic muscle pair for joint action at knee (AO3) One mark for determining correct antagonistic muscle pair for joint action at hip (AO3) Up to two marks for account of joint and muscle action at the knee and hip (AO1) 34

39 Question Answer 11 (b) One mark for identification of sagittal plane and one mark for identification of the frontal axis sagittal plane frontal axis (2) AO1 2 marks Accept other appropriate responses. Question Answer 12 One mark for suitable example of social health benefit and one mark for suitable example of emotional health benefit. For example: (2) AO1 2 marks Social health benefit Social mixing Making friends Socialising with others Learning teamwork/cooperation skills Emotional health benefit Increased self esteem Feel good Reduced risk of depression Stress relief Accept other appropriate responses. 35

40 Question Answer 13 (a) One mark each for any four of the following points based on an analysis of the graphs (up to four marks). For example: Age Younger children/2 5-year-olds generally have lower obesity rates than other ages. Obesity rates rise with each age group. Male children aged 2 5-years-old tend to have a higher obesity rate than girls of the same age. (4) AO3 (analysis) 4 marks Gender Evidence of a drop in obesity levels in boys aged 6 10 from All age groups/both genders show increased obesity rates in 2014 compared to Increase in obesity levels in girls up to 2004 but since then plateauing or decrease in levels. Accept other appropriate responses. Question Answer 13 (b) One mark for identification of upward trend in obesity levels (up to one mark). Upward/rise/increase. Accept other appropriate responses. AO3 (analysis) 1 mark 36

41 Question Answer 14 (a) One mark for identifying health risk and a maximum of two more marks for appropriate expansion and connection of how physical activity reduces this risk (up to six marks). Any two from: Reduces the chance of coronary heart disease by reducing resting blood pressure, through the removal of cholesterol from walls of arteries. (6) AO1 2 marks AO2 4 marks Reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by reducing the body s need for insulin as the exercise helps to maintain a healthy weight. Reduces the risk of a stroke by increasing levels of high density lipoprotein, enabling appropriate blood flow through the body. Reduces the risk of long-term stress/depression by increasing endorphin levels/serotonin providing a feel good factor. Accept other appropriate responses. Question Answer 14 (b) One mark for lifestyle choice and one mark for how this would reduce risk of becoming obese Lead less sedentary lifestyle, to increase calorie expenditure Eat a healthy diet so that an appropriate number of calories are consumed for level of activity (2) AO1 2 marks Accept other appropriate responses. 37

42 Question Answer 15 (a) One mark for use of data to identify greatest risk of death from smoking and one mark for appropriate expansion. More likely to die from smoking than from any of the other categories, for example, three times more likely to die from smoking than being obese. Accept other appropriate responses Question Answer 15 (b) One mark for identifying health risk and a maximum of two more marks for appropriate expansion of how smoking impacts negatively on health (up to three marks). Any one from: (2) AO3 (analysis) 1 mark AO3 (evaluation) 1 mark (3) AO1 3 marks Increases risk of lung cancer as chemicals in the smoke enter the lungs and damage the cells that line the lungs. Increases risk of bronchitis by causing an infection of the main airways/bronchi in the lungs due to breathing in the chemicals in tobacco smoke. Increases risk of pneumonia because smoking damages the lining of the lungs, therefore the lungs are at greater risk of becoming infected. Increases risk of emphysema by killing the cilia so that they are not available to clear toxins from the airways. Accept other appropriate responses. 38

43 Question Indicative content 16 Reward acceptable answers. Responses may include, but are not limited to, the following: Knowledge and understanding of muscle fibre types and their characteristics (AO1) There are slow and fast twitch muscle fibre types Fast twitch fibres are classified as either type IIa or type IIx Different fibre types are suited to different types of activities or actions type IIx have the most powerful contraction Application of knowledge of fibre type to the tennis game (AO2) Specific examples where the different fibre types can be used in a game of tennis (9) AO1 3 marks AO2 3 marks AO3 (evaluation) 3 marks type IIx would be used during a serve to generate power type IIa would be used to continue to hit the ball with pace during a rally type 1 (slow twitch) in the legs would be used to allow the player to continue to run throughout the game Making connections between the relative importance of the techniques referenced and therefore a judgement about the most important for play in the tennis game (AO3) Consideration of why fast twitch type IIx fibres are required in a game of tennis (e.g. increased pace on the ball therefore harder to return, ability to accelerate more rapidly to get to opponents shot) Consideration of why fast twitch type IIa fibres are required in a game of tennis (e.g. player is able to hit the ball with a fair amount of power for a more sustained period of time (than type IIx), allowing them to maintain pressure during a longer rally). Consideration of why slow twitch muscle fibres are required in a game of tennis (e.g. to sustain performance throughout possible hours of play due to ability of muscles to continue to work) Conclusion making a reasoned judgment that without access to all fibre types an aspect of the player s game would suffer. Students who only show achievement against AO1 will not be able to gain marks beyond level 1. 39
