It relates to the efficiency of the body and its system and physical capacity to perform tasks and physical fitness
Indeed!
VCAA's definition:

So yep, what you've provided is definitely worth 1 mark.
Considering the question is (strangely IMO) worth
two marks, though, you might like to include an extra piece of information - perhaps an example of what physical health entails. Thanks for your response.
Hey can you answer this question
Outline two reasons that may account for Australia having a high human development index than china
Certainly.
I'd really like this thread to focus on the sample exam, though (there's a similar question later in the exam). Feel free to pop any general HHD questions you have into
this thread here, and I (and others) can help.
Just to let you know I'm doing the definitions by memory instead of referring from the book
Looking good - and a great form of revision.
Both of your definitions have been pretty much spot on thus far!
P.S. I've just merged your three successive posts into one. You can add more to a post by using the "Modify" function up the top right of the post.
the physical dimension of health relates to the efficient functioning of the body and its systems, and is inclusive of the physical capacity to perform tasks and physical fitness? (or something like that ugh it's been way too long since outcome one haha).
Nice one!
That's why this is good revision haha - HHD has so much content to remember.
As above, just to make sure you get full marks, I'd also include an example here of what physical health might look like. Can you think of a good example?
(I also tended to overwrite FWIW, but better that than missing out on a relatively easy mark!)
Not Joseph41, nor did I score a 50, but your answer is almost there - it just needs an extra bit to get that 2nd mark. Firstly, an example is needed; this could be something simple as adding "such as having a strong immune system", or "high energy levels". It doesn't have to be anything overly complex, but it shows that you understand the content and have not simply ROTE learned definitions. Secondly, you're missing the keyword "functioning". This is very important as when examiners (and most teachers) mark definition questions, such as this one, in effect, they simply just 'look' for the keywords in your answer and move on. So if they don't see a keyword, no mark!
Other than that, pretty solid answer overall - just remember to break down the mark allocation so you can make sure all your bases are covered.
Remember that the HDI is calculated from 4 indicators: life expectancy at birth, mean years schooling, expected years schooling, and gross national income per capita. From these, you can just simply plonk one into a sentence such as "Australia has a higher ____ than China - an indicator of the Human Development Index", and use it as a reason. Australia will always be 'higher' than most countries you'll be asked to compare with since it's 2nd (iirc) in terms of overall HDI value.
Hahaha looks like you've already covered everything I just said - thanks, remi!
Really great post.

Time for the next question!
