Hodder Education website.
Command words meanings
In your external assessment, each question will start with one of the
following command words or terms, so it is important that you know
what each means so that you know how to answer each question.
1 Sport and exercise
physiology
About this unit
Physiology is the study of how the body systems function and work
together to keep us alive! Sport and exercise physiology includes
how the body systems work together to allow us to take part in
different forms of sport and exercise and provide the energy we
need to exercise for very short periods to many hours. In this unit
you will explore how each of the body systems, including the
skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, energy and endocrine
systems, respond to short- and long-term exercise, the causes and
effects of fatigue and the effects of the environment on each of
these body systems.
How will I be assessed?
External assessment
This unit will be assessed externally, meaning that at the end of the
unit you will complete a written examination that has been set by
Pearson and will be marked by Pearson examiners.
The paper contains short- and long-answer questions and covers
the exercise physiology in normal conditions and in different
environmental conditions.
You will be given 1 hour and 30 minutes to sit the exam and the
number of marks available is 80.
The exam will be available twice a year from May/June 2017.
How will I be graded?
The assessment outcomes show you the knowledge and skills that
you are expected to be able to demonstrate in the exam. It is
important when you are covering the unit content that you keep
these objectives in mind, as they show what you need to be able to
do with the information you are learning about. In this case, the
words demonstrate, apply and analyse are particularly important,
as they tell you the skills that you will need to show in the external
assessment.
Assessment outcomes
The exam is split into four different assessment outcomes (AOs)
and each will be covered in varying amounts within the paper. The
command words that will be used for each assessment outcome are
also provided, to help you to gain an understanding of the depth
and breadth that you will need to include in your responses for
each AO.
AO1 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of body systems
and how they respond and adapt to exercise in different
environments.
Command words: identify, describe, give, state, name, explain
Marks: range from 1 to 5 marks
AO2 Apply knowledge and understanding of body systems and how
they respond and adapt to exercise in different environments in
context.
Command words: describe, explain
Marks: range from 1 to 5 marks
AO3 Analyse sports performance data to interpret the body’s
responses and adaptations to exercise and evaluate their impact on
sport and exercise performance.
Command words: analyse, assess, evaluate, discuss
Marks: 10 marks
AO4 Make connections between how the body systems work
together in response to the demands of sport and exercise and to
enhance performance.
Command words: analyse, assess, evaluate, discuss
Marks: 10 marks
Grade descriptors
Grade descriptors are provided by Pearson to give an idea of what
sorts of skills and knowledge need to be shown to achieve a pass
or a distinction grade. However, further grades are available
including:
U – Unclassified
Level 3 Pass
Learners are able to demonstrate knowledge of sport and exercise
physiology and apply it to sport and exercise performance. They
have a sound understanding of how the body’s systems respond to
exercise in the short term and adapt to regular strength and
conditioning training programmes in the long term. They have an
understanding of how the body’s systems work together during
exercise and the impact different environmental conditions and
fatigue have on the body’s systems.
Level 3 Distinction
Learners are able to demonstrate thorough knowledge and
comprehensive understanding of sport and exercise physiology and
apply it to performance in a range of exercise and sports contexts.
They can analyse how the body’s systems respond to exercise in
the short term and adapt to regular strength and conditioning
training programmes in the long term. They are able to make
connections between the body’s systems and assess how they work
together during exercise to supply and utilise energy. They can
analyse the impact that different environmental conditions and
fatigue have on the body’s systems and the performance of
athletes.
Command words meanings
In your external assessment, each question will start with one of
the possible command words or terms, so it is important that you
know what each means so that you know how to answer each
question. Look at page 8 for a table of these.
A Responses of the body systems to
a single sport or exercise session
For this learning aim you will need to be able to understand how
each body system responds to a single sport or exercise session for
a range of activities and the interrelationships between the body
systems during this single session.
A1 Skeletal system
Osteoclast activity
Osteoclasts are the bone cells that are responsible for destroying or
cleaning away old bone tissue. Weight-bearing exercises stimulate
these cells to destroy old bone tissue which then acts to stimulate
the osteoblasts to build new bone tissue which is called remodelling.
The effect of this process helps to build stronger bones.
Weight-bearing exercises are exercises that involve holding a
person’s body weight, therefore activities such as walking and
jogging would be classed as weight-bearing. However, activities such
as cycling and swimming would not be classed as weight-bearing as
neither of these types of exercise require a person to hold their body
weight.
Synovial fluid
Synovial fluid is the fluid in synovial joints that helps to lubricate the
joint. Taking part in a single bout of exercise will increase the
amount of synovial fluid released into the joint and reduce the
viscosity of the fluid. This helps the synovial joints that are involved
in the exercise to move more freely, so helps with mobilisation of the
joints.
A2 Muscular system
Muscle fibre recruitment (Type I, Type IIa,
Type IIx)
Depending on the type of exercise intensity, different muscle fibres
will be recruited to complete the activity. Each type of muscle fibre is
stimulated at different intensities – this process is called muscle fibre
recruitment. When the muscles need to produce a large force such
as lifting a very heavy weight, the type IIx muscle fibres will be
recruited in order to produce these large amounts requiring a lot of
force. However, when a person is walking, slow contractions and low
forces are required so type I muscle fibres will be recruited.
A3 Respiratory system
The respiratory system is responsible for getting oxygen into the
body and getting carbon dioxide out of the body. (It is described in
detail in Unit 2.) The oxygen is used to help produce energy which is
used while we take part in sporting activities. The process of
creating energy also produces a waste produce called carbon dioxide
which needs to be removed from the body.
Control of breathing rate
Breathing rate is controlled by both neural and chemical
mechanisms.
The neural control is from the respiratory centre in the brain which is
located in medulla oblongata. During exercise, when the body needs
to produce more energy, the amount of carbon dioxide increases and
dissolves in the blood stream to produce a weak acid. As levels of
carbon dioxide in the blood rise, this increases the acidity of the
blood. This increase in acidity of the blood is sensed by
chemoreceptors which are specialised cells within the arteries that
detect chemical changes in the blood. As the body does not like the
acidity of the blood, the chemoreceptors signal the medulla
oblongata. This area of the brain then sends signals to the
diaphragm and intercostal muscles by the phrenic nerves to increase
the breathing rate to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide. Therefore,
during exercise, breathing rate increases because carbon dioxide
levels rise rather than the cells demanding more oxygen.
Respiratory muscles
The diaphragm and internal and external intercostal muscles are the
main respiratory muscles. The diaphragm is a large dome-shaped
muscle which covers the bottom of the ribcage. The intercostal
muscles are located between the ribs. During rest, the diaphragm
contracts and flattens and pushes the two sides of the ribcage away
from each other, which results in an increase in the size of the
thoracic cavity, forcing air into the lungs. The external intercostal
muscles also contract during inspiration to push the ribs upwards
and outwards to increase the size of the chest cavity, drawing more
air in than just the diaphragm contracting alone.
During expiration at rest, the process does not require any
contraction of muscles.
To calculate VE at rest:
The average breathing rate is around 12 breaths per minute. The
average tidal volume is 0.5 l (this will vary depending upon age,
gender and size of a person).
Therefore, the Minute volume at rest is:
Activity: Minute volume
1 While sitting or lying down, count the number of breaths you
breathe in during one minute – try to breathe as normally as
possible.
2 Write this number down and then work out your pulmonary
ventilation using the equation given above.
3 Compare your pulmonary ventilation with the rest of the class.
When you start to exercise, you need to take more oxygen into your
body in order for it to be used to help produce energy. At the start of
exercise, this increased oxygen demand occurs by breathing at a
faster rate and breathing in more air and breathing out more air
during each breath. This means that tidal volume increases.
A4 Cardiovascular system
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and the blood
vessels through which the heart pumps blood around the body.
During exercise, a number of changes take place to the
cardiovascular system to ensure that the muscles receive the
required amounts of oxygen and nutrients. The structure of the
cardiovascular system is discussed in more detail in Unit 2.
Anticipatory increase in heart rate
During exercise the heart rate needs to be increased in order to
ensure that the working muscles receive adequate amounts of
nutrients and oxygen, and that the waste products that are
produced are removed. Before you even start exercising there is an
increase in your heart rate, called the anticipatory rise. This increase
in heart rate occurs because when you think about exercising it
causes the sympathetic nervous system to release adrenaline.
Key term
Adrenaline (also called Epinephrine in the USA) is a hormone
released during times of stress which gets the body ready for
action, known as the fight-or-flight response, so that if a person is
in danger they are ready to run away quickly or are able to fight in
response to the dangerous situation.
One of the effects of adrenaline is to make the heart beat faster.
Once exercise has started, there is an increase in carbon dioxide and
lactic acid in the body which is detected by chemoreceptors.
Key term
Chemoreceptors are a group of cells that detect changes in the
chemical environment around them and transmit this message to
the brain so that the body can respond accordingly.
The chemoreceptors trigger the sympathetic nervous system to
increase the release of adrenaline, which further increases heart
rate. In a trained athlete, heart rate can increase by up to three
times within one minute of starting exercise. As exercise continues,
the body becomes warmer, which also helps to increase the heart
rate because it increases the speed of the conduction of nerve
impulses across the heart.
Activity: Heart rate and exercise
Aim
The aim of this activity is to examine what happens to heart rate
before and during the onset of exercise.
Equipment
Stopwatch or heart rate monitor
Sports clothes
Pen and paper
Bench
Skipping rope
Method
1 If you have a heart rate monitor, place it around your chest. If
not, find your pulse point either on your neck or at your wrist.
2 Sit quietly for five minutes, then take your resting heart rate. If
you have a heart rate monitor, write down the heart rate that
appears on the monitor. If not, feel for your pulse point, then
count your heart rate for 30 seconds. Double this figure and
write it down to give you the beats per minute (bpm).
3 Think about what exercise you are about to perform for 1
minute.
4 Record your heart rate after having thought about your exercise.
5 Perform step-ups onto a bench for 2 minutes or skip for 2
minutes with a skipping rope.
6 Immediately after you have finished your exercise, record your
heart rate.
Results
3 Note down the rest of the class’s stroke volumes and then take
an average.
4 Separate your class stroke volumes into males and females and
then calculate an average stroke volume for the males and
another for the females. Is there a difference between the two?
If so, try to explain why.
5 What conclusion can you draw about the fitness of your class?
Starling’s Law
While exercising, the amount of blood that returns to the heart
increases. Blood returning to the heart is given the term venous
return.
Key term
Venous return is the amount of blood returned to the heart after
circulating around the body.
This increased volume of blood has the effect of stretching the
cardiac muscle to a greater degree than normal. This stretching has
the effect of making the heart contract much more forcibly and
thereby pumping out more blood during each contraction, so stroke
volume is increased during exercise. This effect is known as
‘Starling’s Law’.
Blood pressure
Blood pressure is necessary in order for blood to flow around the
body. The pressure is a result of the heart contracting and forcing
blood into the blood vessels. Two values are given when a person
has their blood pressure taken; a typical blood pressure for the
average adult male is 120/80. The two values correspond to the
systolic value (when the heart is contracting) and the diastolic value
(when the heart is relaxing). The higher value is the systolic value
(when the heart is contracting) and the lower is the diastolic value
(when the heart is not contracting). Blood pressure is measured in
milligrams of mercury, mmHg.
The value for a person’s blood pressure is determined by the cardiac
output (Q), which is a product of stroke volume and heart rate, and
the resistance the blood encounters as it flows around the body. This
can be put into an equation:
