Thanksss

If you want to just do multiple choice I have the answers.

I suppose I'll start working on short answer now.

oh that'd be great so helpful!
mostly for others, as i called my teacher before to through some questions i wasn't sure about, still good to see answers for the other questions~

I'm sorry this is taking a while, I forgot that PE exams are actually pretty long.

[lexitu]

Okay here it is. Don't hesitate to point out any faults. And, I apologise for some answers which are a bit slack.

[vexx]

thank you so much
+karmaaaa! will go through it in a minute.

No worries

Any issues with some of the answers?

Just went through it, all is good.
I'm still stumped on how you didn't get 50.. But whatever! haha.

anyway
one of the questions i am thinking is the only one you might be off, as it was one i asked my teacher about.
that being, Q10 is B, as there is plenty of rest, similar work-rest ratio to tennis, and so is dominantly ATP-PC with a largish contribution from LA, with smallest being aerobic.

a question:
what is the difference between positive and negative ethical considerations? i dont really get that..
my teacher said there is no way they will use that question again, since it was a horrible question.
but yes.. just incase;)

Yeah I'm also double thinking that MC Q) 10. You would think in a game of vollyball they don't really move a lot until the ball comes to there direction, so there would be a relatively higher contribution of ATP-PC than 10%. I would think there would be a toss up between B and D, but after rethinking that there is only two players per side, rather than the 5-6 we have at school, there would be a greater contribution of the LA system, due to the level of rest/recovery between each point/set. You could almost say this would be very similar to a game of tennis, where there is a lot of short sharp movements, but rallys don't generally exceed 30 seconds. Tough question

It basically means find a reason why it would be suitable to take caffeine tablets and a reason why it wouldn't. Unless I'm reading the question wrong, but it seems as though they answers are around the wrong way?

Generally a positive consideration would be something along the lines of the benefits it would provide the athlete e.g. increased alertness, provides a competitive advantage over other athletes etc. I wouldn't have thought a positive consideration would have been 'give a bad example to children'.

Unless I'm way off?

Yer its been swapped around im pretty sure

[vexx]

Just not sure since you said positive was "bad example for children" and negative was "pressures to win at all costs"
they both just seem negative?

But with that question, i thought it was D, but my teacher said it was B, due to higher LA from having more rest..

[lexitu]

Okay yeah agree Q10 multiple choice is B. I did these last year and had B highlighted, but I decided to change if for some reason yesterday...

Regarding positive/negative considerations, this appeared in the 2006 VCAA exam-proper. Positive considerations are ones that make the athlete more likely not to take the substance. Negative ones are things that make the athlete more likely to take the substance. They are not pros and cons of taking the substance.

So an athlete taking into consideration that taking caffeine tablets will set a bad example for children is likely to persuade them not to take the tablets.

question 10 cant be 20% aerobic as a volleyball game goes for around 1 hour. no chance that the aerobic system is only contributing 20% to energy. i would say d

[Predator]

Also how is the beep test a submaximal test? Isnt it to exhaustan thus it would be maximal?
And isnt question 12 B? I thought it had to be of moderate-vigorous intensity?

Even if it goes for an hour, you have to consider the duration of the skills used and locomotive patterns observed. You have to look at the duration of the activity and not just the game itself.

I would say that it is B.

I agree with Predator, question 12 should be B because the NPAG says that children must be doing 60+ minutes of moderate-vigorous PA everyday and the question just states 'moderate intensity'

With regards to the beep test, eventhough the subjects are expected to perform at their 'maximum' outputs, the tests will not show maximum results because it is an indirect test therefore we still don't know the exact and out most capability of the subject's maximum. This is why athletes would have better VO2 max results in the VO2 max treadmill test than beep tests.
