Also on the sample exam on the VCAA website, there are a few questions which talk about the physiological, psychological and sociocultural perspectives/factors, these normally relate to questions for fitness testing/assessment considerations. Could you please expand on this?
Thanks again.

In fitness testing, often the assessor is looking for things like the performer's psychological fitness as well as their physical. Let's make an example of question 10 on VCAA's sample exam. "Judy" is a 55 year-old woman. If we look at the skin-fold test, will this be culturally appropriate for a male to measure; will Judy feel ashamed of her body? Would this be private or a group matter? Was Judy ever encouraged to play sport or stay fit as a child? Will a 55 year-old woman, who hasn't exercised much in 10 years, be able to run the Cooper's 12-minute run without injuring herself? When faced with a run like that, will Judy feel intimidated or give up part-way through? We're looking at her mental ability to deal with the rigors of training, as well as her physical, and even the way she was brought up; sociocultural differences. This is what VCAA wants you to know - this is measuring someone's ability to work through tests and deciding whether they are fit enough (relating to training principles like specificity and individuality). Try highlighting the key words in questions, and pick them apart. Find where each mark is allocated and make sure you give an in-depth response.

Hi there!
my PE exam will be the first one i have I'm really nervous and I have studied a lot but I'm still confused by the lactate inflection point!? :o
I know that its the highest point where lactate production = lactate removal but how is it improved aerobically by enzymes? Do you think we need to know that specifically in depth?
Thanks!

i would just know that through aerobic training, you are able to improve your LIP, just like how completing things such as medium interval can improve lactate tolerance etc. I don't think you would ever be asked to say the actual science behind that.

Hiya!
Okay so first of all, you got this. It's okay to be nervous, but you've studied heaps - you'll do great!
Second of all, the lactate inflection point (LIP) can be improved (made more efficient at removing lactate) through aerobic training because the concentration of oxidative enzymes (the ones that help remove H+ ions) increases and with it the body's tolerance to lactate. However, this isn’t necessary knowledge. If you haven’t already, I recommend reading through the study design (both key knowledge and key skills!) to see what’s necessary. LIP may come up, but it’s not specifically listed. You’ll be okay with the basics. :)

What did everyone wrote for the big 8 mark question?
