Mark scheme Question Answer/Indicative content Marks Guidance Six marks for six from: 1. Keeps you healthy Sub max of 3 for identification only (odd 2. This helps to keep appropriate BMI / maintain body weight / live longer / combats disease numbers) Explanations (even numbers) can link with 3. Fitness (physiological / any components) other identification points where appropriate; 4. This helps to keep CV fitness / strength / keep eg To keep fit (point 3) and therefore improves going / live longer / reduces risk of injury 5.

Three marks from: 1. (Fitness levels) Player B has the best level of fitness because they have the lowest resting heart rate. Player C has the lowest fitness level as they have the highest resting heart rate. 2.
