EDUQAS A LEVEL PE SUMMER WORK

1 EDUQAS A LEVEL PE SUMMER WORK Name: Welcome to A level Physical Education. This is a linear course examined at the end of the second year by a combination of exams (70%) and coursework (30%). The exam board is Eduqas (WJEC). The summer work will give you some idea of the of work that will be covered and the level of difficulty of the course. One aspect of A Level PE that has been re-introduced into the course is analysis. Movement analysis involves an understanding of the skeletal and muscular system and how they work together to provide in sport. For example, the analysis involved in kicking a football or tennis serve. You will be required to answer a analysis question in your exam. This question will require the following information.

2 Resources for this task and for the A level PE course 1. I strongly recommend that all the students purchase the A-Z Handbook of Physical Education. At the time of writing, this book was in its 3 rd edition. If a 4 th edition is produced, please purchase this. Book details:- Title: A-Z Handbook of Physical Education, 3 rd edition Authors: Rob James, Graham Thompson, Nesta Wiggin-Jones Publisher: Phillip Allen Updates ISBN: The website teachpe.com 3. There are useful documents on the Eduqas website on the GCE PE page under digital resources. They provide materials for the whole course rather than this task alone.

3 Task 1: Types and Articulating Bones To allow you to gradually build up your knowledge there are four tasks that build on one another. Whilst there is repetition between tasks, this is deliberate and aims to reinforce some learning through repetition. For task 1, you have to identify the synovial joint and articulating in a series of common joints found in the body. A synovial joint is a joint that allows a wide range of and which is composed of two or more which exist in a joint capsule. Articulating are that move against one another within a joint. Complete the table below Type Articulating Knee Ankle Shoulder Wrist Trunk Cartilaginous Vertebrae

4 Task 2: Adding joint s There are a series of possible s that can occur at joints. These vary from joint to joint based on the of joint, the shape of the joint and the connective tissues around the joint (ligaments, tendons & muscles). The most common joint s are identified below. Define each joint. Movement Flexion Extension Abduction Adduction Dorsiflexion Plantar flexion Rotation Horizontal adduction Horizontal abduction Definition Now add possible joint s (only from the above list) to the table below. The number of spaces in the final column indicates the number of joint s possible at the named joint. Type Articulation Movements Knee Ankle Shoulder Trunk

5 Task 3: Adding the agonist muscle - agonist The agonist is also known as the prime mover. It is the muscle that shortens and is directly responsible for the at a joint. s tend to work in pairs or groups and the agonist will work in conjunction with an antagonist muscle. It is now a little harder but this will give you a feel for the level of knowledge and detail you need to be successful in A level PE. Complete the table below. Type Articulating muscle(s) Knee Ankle Shoulder Horizontal adduction Rotation Subscapularis/ infraspinatis Rotation Gluteus medius Gluteus maximus Trunk

6 Task 4: Applying theory to practice Well done if you have got this far! The final task involves taking what you have learnt and applying it to a series of sporting pictures to test your application of knowledge. It is helpful to answer the moment analysis question in a table format. It structures your answer and makes sure you don t leave out any information. Example: in the upward phase of a bench press the table would be as below:- Upward phase of bench press Type Hinge Shoulder Ball & socket Articulating Humerus, radius & ulna Scapula and humerus Extension Triceps brachii Concentric Horizontal adduction Pectoralis major & anterior deltoid Concentric The Vertical Jump (as picture) Ankle Knee Articulating
