How to get a band 6 in PDHPE

 would it be possible to post one of my responses for feedback?
Here is one, I have many more;

1.   Describe the contribution of the 3 energy systems during the 1500m swim event (4 marks)

whilst undertaking a sporting activity, 3 energy systems consisting of the atalacticid (atp/pc), lactic acid and aerobic system are utilised. the proportion of each engergy system depends on the duration of intensity and movement. However, in the case of a 1500m swim event, the atalactid system will be used for the initial 10-12 seconds of the swim event at 100% max personal intensity. the lactic acid system would follow for a duration of 30 sec- 3min of 70-90% intensity. The remaning pool distance would be covered via the aerobic system at 70% power.

First let's look at what comes under the dot point in the syllabus:

Sports policy and the sports environment
- rules in sports and activities
- modified rules for children
- matching of opponents, e.g. growth and development, skill level
- use of protective equipment
- safe grounds, equipment and facilities

You're definitely going to have to address the above points in this question.

Since the question is asking you to "evaluate", you're going to have to provide a judgement on whether or not these aspects promote safe participation. It's good to identify how policies promote safety to an EXTENT. Be sure to identify the extent.

For PDHPE questions, it's VERY important that you provide relevant examples to show your understanding of the syllabus. So for this question, I would choose NRL (because I've studied it)

Start with a brief intro (because teachers love intros):

The presence of sports policy and a safe playing environment is essential for injury prevention in athletes and thus safe participation in sports. The various aspects that make up sports policy and a safe sporting environment and assist in promoting athlete wellbeing and safety include rules in sports and activities, modified rules for children, etc... The role of sports policy and the sports environment in promoting safe participation can particularly be examined in many sports such as NRL.

And then you start getting into each aspect of the points under the dot point.
Here's an example:

As many sports and activities have considerable potential for player injury, rules are enforced in order to assist the flow of play and promote player safety and well being. This can particularly be demonstrated in NRL as it is a collision sport, thus presenting many opportunities that may endanger an athlete's safety and wellbeing.
In acknowledging the potential for athlete injury, rugby league policy outlaws dangerous tackles, such as head high or spear tackles. Players will be penalised for committing these illegal movements as they either are ‘sin binned’ or sent off-field for the rest of the match. This promotes athlete well-being and safety as these movements can cause neck, spinal and head injuries, potentially leading to permanent disabilities. Hence, rules in sports and activities promote safe participation as they assist in injury prevention.

And rinse and repeat! Be sure to chuck in some examples that show that some policies don't really promote safe participation so you're actually evaluating.
For example, matching of opponents in children games. For NRL, mod league matches kids by age groups which has pros and cons. This is good because kids are getting matched up by their skill level and mental maturity level but it's also bad because kids can vary in size and body type - so larger kids would have an unfair advantage against smaller kids, which has the potential for injury since it's a collision sport...

Hope that helped!

Hi!
Your response sounds great, however a couple suggestions. It is important to note that each energy system is not successive as you are implying, but rather they each turn on at the same time, just one is DOMINANT at each time, so you have the right idea. Also maybe be more specific and use examples: The alactacid system is the dominant energy system during the first 10-12seconds, particularly during the dive start, due to the explosive nature of the movement.

Just clarifying is all it needs
Good Luck!   :)

what is the difference between validity and reliability of results? also, is visualisation and mental rehearsal the same thing?

Hi!
So, simply put, reliability relates to the repetition of a test, Eg/ same test repeated on different days under the same conditions. Validity is testing what it's supposed to test, Eg/ if you wanted to work out the fitness of a basketball player, you're not going to make them shoot baskets, you're going to give them a series of fitness tests, such as the beep test. So, something may be reliable since it was repeated, but not valid, as it did not test what they wanted to achieve.

Visualisation and mental rehearsal are similar. Visualisation engages only with the visual sense, so just seeing an image (Eg. visualising a 100m track race). Mental rehearsal engages with all the sense, ie/ sight, touch, sound, taste, smell (Eg. visualise the 100m race, hearing the spectators, feeling theair on your body etc.)

Hope this helped :)
