KS4 P.E BTEC 1. The Body in Sport 1a: Skeleton and Exercise
Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer
Question Describe the functions of the skeletal system including bone growth.
Expert The bones of the skeleton might seem to be just a framework on which our body is
Teacher built, but it is much more than that. The human skeleton provides the functions of
Answer support; protection; movement; blood production and mineral storage. A skeletal
support system allows rapid movement, suspends the vital organs, prevents them
from crushing each other and maintains the shape of the body, despite vigorous
muscle activity. Certain delicate and important organs of the body are protected by a
casing of bone. The brain is enclosed in the skull, the spinal cord is surrounded by the
vertebral column and the heart and lungs are protected by the rib cage. The skeleton
protects the organs from distortion and injury that may result from pressure and/or
impact. In addition to providing protection of vital organs, the ribcage also takes part in
the breathing mechanism. In order to produce movement, many bones of the skeleton
perform the function of levers. When muscles pull of these levers like bones,
movement is produced. The bending of arms is a common example of skeletal
movement. The skeleton requires a system of joints and muscles in order to move.
Some bones are hollow and inside them is red bone marrow from which our blood is
formed. This produces most of the cells of the blood and is vital to our lives. Diseases
of the blood can cause cancer or leukaemia, and we often hear about bone marrow
transplants. The bones in the skeleton store minerals. Most importantly, calcium that is
responsible for the bones withstanding impact and remaining hard. All bones are
formed from cartilage, except the clavicle and some parts of the cranium. Bones begin
to grow before children are born, and as growth takes place the cartilage, which forms
their temporary skeleton, is hardened into bone by the addition of calcium and other
minerals. Bone growth begins in the centre of each bone. In a long bone this is the
centre of the shaft. Growth takes place upwards, downwards and around the central
marrow cavity, then secondary growth appears at both ends. Cartilage remains
between these areas until bone growth is complete. These area are known as growth
plates. The process of development from cartilage to bone is called ossification.

KS4 P.E BTEC 1. The Body In Sport 1b: Muscular System and
Exercise
Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer
Question Analyse the effects of exercise on the muscular system of endurance athletes
and sprinters.
Expert Exercise can have an effect on both muscle composition and efficiency. Skeletal
Teacher muscle responds to training and exercise (or lack of it) in two distinct ways. Any
Answer prolonged period of inactivity causes muscle wastage (atrophy), whereas regular
training and exercise contributes to greater muscle development (hypertrophy).
Muscles adapt very well to the workload they are required to perform and this is why
some athletes develop muscle bulk whilst others do not. Where heavy workloads are
involved, new muscle fibres become large and strong enough to perform tasks they
are asked to do. In endurance activities where bulk is of no advantage, muscles adapt
to training by utilizing energy much more efficiently in order to delay the onset of
fatigue. Generally, muscles will not become any more bulky than they need to be. The
sprinter needs power and big, powerful muscles assist in this respect. A marathon
runner needs to carry as little muscle bulk as possible in order to minimise both weight
and workload. The sprinter’s muscles are able to maximise stored energy in short
bursts of all out activity, whereas distance runner’s muscles utilise energy much more
efficiently and for much longer periods.

KS4 P.E BTEC 1. The Body in Sport 1c: Circulatory system and
Exercise
Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer
Question What are the short and long term effects of exercise on the cardiovascular
system?
Expert Exercise places an increased demand on the cardiovascular system. Oxygen demand
Teacher by the muscles increases sharply. Metabolic processes speed up and more waste is
Answer created. More nutrients are used and body temperature rises. To perform as efficiently
as possible the cardiovascular system must regulate these changes and meet the
body’s increasing demands. The immediate responses to exercise are detailed below:
Before exercise even begins heart rate increases in anticipation. After the initial
anticipatory response, heart rate increases in direct proportion to exercise intensity
until a maximum heart rate is reached. Maximum heart rate is calculated with the
formula 220-age. Stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected per beat from left
ventricle and measured in ml/beat. Stroke volume increases proportionally with
exercise intensity. In untrained individuals stroke volume at rest it averages 50-
70ml/beat increasing up to 110-130ml/beat beat during intense, physical activity. In
elite athletes resting stroke volume averages 90-110ml/beat increasing to as much as
150-220ml/beat. Why does stroke volume increase with the onset of exercise? One
explanation is that the left ventricle fills more completely, stretching it further. The
vascular system can redistribute blood to those tissues with the greatest immediate
demand and away from areas that have less demand for oxygen. There are long-term
adaptations that take place in the cardiovascular system with repeated exercise.
Following training the cardiovascular system and its components go through various
adaptations. Here are the most important: The heart’s mass and volume increase and
cardiac muscle undergoes hypertrophy. It is the left ventricle that adapts to the
greatest extent. As well as the chamber size increasing as a result of endurance
training Resting heart rate can decrease significantly following training in a previously
sedentary individual. Highly conditioned athletes such as Lance Armstrong can have
resting heart rates in the low 30’s. Following an exercise bout, heart rate remains
elevated before slowly recovering to a resting level this called recovery time. After a
period of training, the time it takes for heart rate to recover to its resting value is
shortened. Stroke volume increases at rest and during exercise following training. This
all-round increase in stroke volume is attributable to greater filling of the left ventricle is
due to a) an increase in blood plasma and so blood volume and b) reduced heart rate
which increases the diastolic filling time.

KS4 P.E BTEC 1. The Body in Sport 1d: Respiratory and Energy
Systems
Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer
Question What is the function of the respiratory system?
Expert The main function of the respiratory system is the supply of oxygen to the blood. This
Teacher in turn delivers oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this while
Answer breathing is taking place. During the process of breathing we inhale oxygen and
exhale carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases takes place at the alveoli. The average
adult's lungs contain about 600 million of these spongy, air-filled sacs that are
surrounded by capillaries. The inhaled oxygen passes into the alveoli and then
diffuses through the capillaries into the arterial blood. Meanwhile, the waste-rich blood
from the veins releases its carbon dioxide into the alveoli. The carbon dioxide follows
the same path out of the lungs when you exhale.

Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer
Question Describe four different types of injuries associated with sports participation and
explain their underlying causes.
Expert One type of sporting injury is a cut or a graze. This is a break in the skin's surface and
Teacher could be caused by a number of factors, such as sharp edges, friction burns or falling
Answer on a hard surface. Another type of sports injury might be shin splints. This is when you
get a pain down the front of your lower leg in your shin and is caused by overload on

is caused when the tendon in the elbow becomes inflammed and sore. It is a common
misconception that only tennis players can get tennis elbow. However, this is not the
case, although it is most common in tennis players.

Peer Assessment Question and Expert Answer
Question Identify psychological factors that can affect sports training and performance
and say what the effects on sports training and performance could be.
Expert 1. Motivation is the driving force that compels people to do something. People are
Teacher motivated by different things, some purely for the satisfaction of doing something and
Answer others for the possible rewards. Being motivated has a positive effect on performance
but intinsic motivation tends to last longer than extrinsic. 2. Arousal levels in sport are
important. Too little arousal causes the level of involvement to be low. Too higher level
of arousal could cause control of behaviour to be lost. To continue developing and
improving as a performer, setting targets and goals can provide an aim to the
necessary training and therefore enhance motivation. 3. Personality characteristics
are those that lead people when placed in similar circumstances to react or behave in
different ways. Sports psychologists have tried to link personality types with different
sport types in order to identify the best people for the sport. Introverts tend to prefer
individual sports with intricate skills where as extroverts prefer team sports with whole
body activities.
