Title: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: pouks_31 on November 06, 2008, 07:27:10 pm
Apart from the LIP as it was poorly done last year what do you guys think will be on the exam?
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?

Finite capacity of the anaerobic systems.

And you can predict a lot more of the questions, just look at past exams, they repeat the same question 'types'.

Apparentely specific fitness components wasn't on the exam last year. So I guess it has a bigger chance of popping up this year

gday guys,
got the exam monday, was just wondering what finite capacity means in relation to the energy systems?
seems to be popping up a fair bit in practice exams and ive got no idea?
 :-\

Yeah just saw that in the 2004 exam. The assessors report had some half-assed explanation which didn't even make sense.

In relation to energy systems, I think finite capacity refers to the oxygen deficit created by the anaerobic systems, namely the ATP-PC system which has finite stores of PC therefore a finite capactiy?

However I'm still confused how it relates to the LA system. Anyone?

Hydrogen ions limit the function of the LA system.


Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: studyhound on November 08, 2008, 10:27:15 am
yeah that sorta makes sense,
im just going to interpret finite capcity as the factor which limits the energy system from opperating,
ATP-PC : limited PC stores
LA : H+ ion accumulation
Aerobic : oxygen deficit / depletion of glycogen stores

correct me if im wrong  :)

Um...Aerobic system is pretty much infinite..maybe? someone correct me on this?


Depletion of glycogen stores would be a fatiguing factor though, doesn't stop it from working.

Yeah aerobic energy system has an (reletively) infinite capacity. Apparentely we can walk for 50 hours non-stop using the fat stores in our body


Thanks for clearing up the finite capacity of the LA system

Can somebody tell me if this person meets the NPAGs:

a) Exercise on 5 days of the week, for a total of 120minute (included in that is 30minutes of vigorous activity)
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: akkxn on November 08, 2008, 07:17:37 pm
yes, vigourous activity counts as "double" minutes according to one of malpeli's prac exams
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: mtwtfss on November 08, 2008, 08:38:57 pm
Yeah thats what I also read.


Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: akkxn on November 08, 2008, 08:50:57 pm
Hmm actually, the NPAG guideline is: at least 30mins per day in total, at least 5 times a week. So on one of those days, the person didn't get 30mins... so technically they didn't make the cut lol. Still not sure, do you have solutions?

isnt it refered to now as aerobic potential?
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: mtwtfss on November 08, 2008, 11:44:12 pm
Yeah, i wouldn't use that term LOL.

It's aerobic power (rate of producing ATP using oxygen)
and aerobic capacity (total amount of ATP that can be produced using oxygen)
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: pouks_31 on November 09, 2008, 10:50:53 am
you sure, our teacher was steadfast on the fact that its aerobic potential instead of capacity.
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: studyhound on November 09, 2008, 01:44:47 pm
its capacity mate, say potential in the exam and u will get murded

that all depends on the person too, if they are a child/youth then no they;re not because they require 7 days to meet the npag

It's not capacity, it's potential. There is no limit to the aerobic system, If fuel never ran out it could run infinitely.
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: studyhound on November 09, 2008, 02:54:29 pm
im stayin with capacity
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: shademaker on November 09, 2008, 08:06:15 pm
yeh i see aerobic capacity printed in my text book but i see no aerobic potential
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: pouks_31 on November 09, 2008, 08:57:52 pm
you also see anaerobic threshold? using that term tomorrow by any chance?
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: mtwtfss on November 09, 2008, 09:08:00 pm
Yeah, anaerobic threshold is awesome.
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: studyhound on November 09, 2008, 09:09:13 pm
you can still say anaerobic threshold,
nothing wrong with that.
anyway gl to evry1 for tomoz, fingers crossed for a good exam,
guess il be on after it comparing answers  ;D
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: mtwtfss on November 09, 2008, 09:10:27 pm
...okay... anaerobic threshold...doesn't mean LIP whatsoever, completely different term. right. gotcha.


Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: pouks_31 on November 09, 2008, 10:07:05 pm
your my hero mate, i swear when i grow up i wanna be just like you.

anaerobic threshold is the wrong term.
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: mtwtfss on November 09, 2008, 10:13:22 pm
?
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: juzzyfizzle on November 09, 2008, 10:14:11 pm
you cannot say aerobic capacity; the correct term is aerobic potential. effectively as long as there is fuel, the aerobic system can run.

you can say ANaerobic capacity because it is finite; it depletes/comes to an end.
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: cafa on November 09, 2008, 10:50:26 pm
pretty sure the words aerobic potential havent appeared all yr in live it up, always capacity
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: bridgethuss on November 09, 2008, 10:53:28 pm
its capacity.
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: Athomas on November 09, 2008, 11:04:44 pm
LMAO.

I don't do PE. but this is gold. :)
Good luck all!

Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: juzzyfizzle on November 09, 2008, 11:16:31 pm
it's not in the text books because it is new science; the textbooks were published before the LIP also.

no such thing as anaerobic threshould anymore, it's LIP.
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: Athomas on November 09, 2008, 11:31:41 pm
My friend who wants to get a 50 for PE says it's CAPACITY!   :angel:
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: jakeburn on November 10, 2008, 12:10:51 pm
its capacity if vcaa wanted you to use potential which has never came up in a book before than they would have told everyone just like they did with the anaerobic threshold and lip
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: bucket on November 10, 2008, 06:55:03 pm
Just pouring some more fuel on the fire; it's potential.
Title: Re: Expectations for the exam?
Post by: costargh on November 10, 2008, 09:16:26 pm
It's definetly potential. My dad is a VCAA marker and he says capacity WONT get full marks
