Complete 2010 VCAA Exam + Suggested Solutions

[Barny05]

in the first question the y axis is labelled % of food fuel use which would indicate glycogen wouldnt it. Im pretty sure iv seen carbs/glucose/glycogen as food fuels before on an exam

^ realise it said DURING, so you had to make reference to during the race for it to be accepted, but imagery is definitely correct if you did so.

Yeah i said imagery for the shooter. Kineasthetics during a race might not be accepted though?

[Vadnal]

Yeah sorry I meant imagery, I'm tired lol, chem on thursday..

[beder]

In regards to Q4 in section B with the skiers, you did not include Kinaesthetic awareness which is definitely an accepted option.

[flash36]

I just said kinaesthetics, in terms of the skiier feeling themselves and their body parts move through the desired motions during the race, in order to activate the necessary motor neurons and enhance performance.

[lexitu]

Yeah like I said mate my answers are not the only ones which I think are correct.

Anyway, I'll be back on this forum a bit later, i need a break.

Multiple choice:
question 2 is C 100%
question 4 is C: your answer is incorrect. the LIP is not due to an increased ability to clear lactate. it is due to H ion ACCUMULATION
Everything else is spot on.

im pretty sure its the ability to clear lactate, the definition a bit dicy to understand, it is specifically "the balance between lactate removal and entry into the blood"
as athletes get 'fitter' their ability to remove lactate from the blood improves, they still accumulate lactic acid however LIP specifically refers to the ability to remove it-- look at the 2007 exam report question 7 on multiple choice, it pretty much states it

and i agree with aleitu1 for Q2 that it should be a, it is the IMMEDIATE (within first few minutes) responses that you can "observe" following the race, you can not observe glycogen stores but i guess you can observe the temperature change and the decreased effects of hydrogen ions

Hey Lex thanks heaps for the upload and solutions. Haven't bothered reading through the posts in this thread so I apologize is this question has already been asked, but would seated basketball throw be appropriate as an upper body test of muscular power? It's listed as a major test in my textbook.

definitely.

For the last question I said something along the lines of...

Training above your VO2 max means that the body is working anaerobically hence will fatigue quickly due to accumulation of metabolic by-products. This means that the body won't be able to improve aerobically (since continuous training at 70-85% MHR for at least 20 minutes cannot be sustained) due to the fatigue experienced working above VO2 max.

I'm hoping that's fine because I was a bit worried about it yesterday.

[lexitu]

Thanks Streaker. Yeah that would be fine

Regarding the last question I think that's a very fair line of thought. I had that as an answer but then I changed it... I think it depends how you explain it... As long as you didn't imply that continuous training is the only form of training for improving VO2 max. then that would work well as an answer

I think I'll be sweet for that question cheers   And finally in regards to the physiotherapist question, I totally disregarded anything from the textbook and just thought of my own experiences with physio...I said cryotherapy (ice application) and ultrasound. I managed to explain both as well because it asked to 'outline'. Are those two viable answers? It was such a random question.

[lexitu]

No of course not. Your answers are probably better, mine actually suck now that I look at them for that question - they don't really address the question and could be rejected, especially the referral one. Anything from common sense or personal experience would be correct

Most of my answers are a few of the possible answers, unless I say otherwise.

Hi Lex for the rockclimbing question is agility a possible fitness component- the ability to manouerve the body in the right positions as the athlete travels up the wall/rocks. Could that be a possibility?

[lexitu]

Unfortunately no because agility needs muscular power.
