Purpose These supplementary materials assist and support teachers to prepare students for the 2017 Physical Education external assessment trial.

Administrative details

Authenticity of individual responses Schools must consider the physical layout of the examination room when preparing for the assessment to ensure students are unable to view the work of others. A Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) invigilator will monitor school administration of the assessment.

Special provisions procedures The External assessment trial: Special provisions handbook will be provided to schools in March 2017.

Student absence If students do not complete the external assessment trial due to absence, schools should apply their school-based special provisions or late and non-submission procedures. In these cases, folios for monitoring may include evidence of achievement and course coverage other than a response to the external assessment. Students who are absent may require an alternative assessment.

For more information about late submission or non-submission responsibilities and principles, see the A–Z of Senior Moderation, Section 1.1, available at www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/senior/moderation-hub/special-provisions.

Guidelines for teaching and learning Schools should use this supplementary material in conjunction with advice in the Information statement for schools: External assessment trial — Physical Education 2017, available at www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/memos/16/072-16.pdf.

Teaching and learning experiences provide students with opportunities to engage with the subject matter.

Subject matter Students must engage in integrated learning experiences in, about and through a direct interceptive physical activity across the assessable dimensions of Acquiring, Applying and Evaluating. Where possible, student learning should be authentic, that is based in real contexts and applicable to the student’s personal experience (syllabus, Section 3.2.1).

Assessment instrument

Information about the assessment The Physical Education external assessment trial has two sections. Section A has multiple-choice questions. Section B has short-response questions and an extended written response question.

The sample assessment demonstrates how instructions are provided. The cover page specifies the time allowed for the whole assessment, and the structure of the examination. Schools should familiarise students with the layout of the cover page and draw their attention to key features. Each section begins with instructions on how to complete the questions.

Time management It is important that students are familiar with the design of the assessment and are given advice about how to manage their time, including how best to make use of their ten minutes perusal time.

Multiple choice Students should be given the opportunity to become familiar with the multiple-choice answer format. Ensure that students understand how to fill in the answer bubbles in the response book. Responses in the multiple-choice question book will not be marked.

Short responses and extended written response Students respond in the spaces provided in the response book. If students need more space to complete, rewrite or redraft a written response, they may use the additional pages at the back of the response book.

Ensure students understand that if they use the additional pages located at the end of the response book, they must:

• cancel their incorrect response by ruling a single, diagonal line through their work: if they fail to do this, their original response will be marked

• note the page number of their additional response, i.e. See page …

• label the additional page with the question number that they are responding to.

Section B

QUESTION 9 (150 words)

An athlete completes a 30-second run at high intensity. After fully recovering, the same athlete completes a 120-second run at high intensity.

Compare and contrast the energy system contributions during the 30-second run with the energy system contributions during the 120-second run.

During 30 seconds of high-intensity effort, the dominant energy system contributing to ATP

production is the lactic acid or anaerobic glycolysis energy system. While the lactic acid system

contributes the most, it only provides about half of the energy required for this duration.

The ATP-PC system provides a small percentage of energy as it is quickly depleted. The aerobic

system provides about a third of the energy used. In contrast, the aerobic system is the

dominant energy system for a duration of effort of 120 seconds. During this high-intensity

effort, the aerobic system provides about 60% of the energy required to produce ATP. Once

again, the ATP-PC system provides very little energy as it is quickly depleted. The lactic acid

system provides much of the energy needed for a 30-second duration, but by 120 seconds, it is

only providing a small part of the energy required.

QUESTION 10 (150 words)

Recommend a training method to improve an athlete’s energy requirements for a 120-second run at high intensity. Justify your recommendation by referring to the training principle of specificity.

Fartlek training would improve the energy systems required for a 120-second, high-intensity effort.

Fartlek training is a form of continuous training that includes intervals of high-intensity effort,

separated by intervals of lower intensity effort of approximately 70% maximum heart rate.

This training method is ideal because the continuous training element of fartlek training targets the

aerobic energy system. The athlete can then work at a high intensity with a heart rate at

approximately 70% maximum heart rate. The aerobic energy system is important to develop for a

performance of 120 seconds because it provides a majority of the energy used over that duration.

Fartlek training also incorporates intervals of high-intensity sprints which will help develop the lactic

acid energy system. The lactic acid energy system accounts for about 30% of the energy

requirements for a 120-second effort.

QUESTION 11 (400 words)

The table below shows an athlete’s training session.

Warm-up

• 5 minutes of continuous work (60–70% intensity)

• flexibility circuit

• 5 minutes of a modified game

Training

• 6 × 90-second efforts (75% intensity) with 3 minutes (180 seconds) rest between each repetition

• 6 × 45-second efforts (75% intensity) with 2 minutes (120 seconds) rest between each repetition

• 10 × 30-second efforts (1:1 work–rest ratio)

Cool-down

• 3 minutes of slow, low-intensity work

• flexibility exercises

Refer to the training principles of intensity and duration to:

• evaluate the effectiveness of the training session in improving fitness for the physical activity that has been the focus of your study in Term 2

• recommend two changes to improve the specificity of the training session

• justify your decisions.

Term 2 physical activity:

Soccer (example only)

The physical activity I have participated in during this term is soccer. The majority of my time

spent playing is sub-maximal. However, there are periods of high-intensity work throughout my

performance that require me to move quickly into position, into space, or evade opposition

players. These efforts typically last for a short duration of 10–15 seconds. Sometimes my

performance requires me to repeat this high-intensity effort with little rest but most of the time,

I get enough rest to recover before I need to work hard again.

Page 39: Physical Education supplementary materials

Physical Education External assessment trial — Semester 1, 2017

Queensland Curriculum & Assessment Authority February 2017

Page 36 of 43

The training session uses interval training to improve my fitness; however, the duration and

intensity of the training is not appropriate for the requirements of my performance.

The session begins with durations of 90 seconds with 180 seconds rest between efforts. While

this form of long interval training would help me develop a good lactic acid energy system,

90-second durations are not specific to my performance, as the majority of my high-intensity work

is done over a much shorter duration of 10–15 seconds. The intensity of the 90-second efforts in

the interval session are also not specific to my performance as the intensity is only moderate at

75%. An intensity of above 85% is best for improving lactic acid energy systems.

The third set in the training session contains shorter intervals, lasting only 30 seconds, with

30 seconds rest between efforts. This set of intervals is far more appropriate for the needs of my

performance; however, there is no intensity listed for this set of intervals.

In order to improve the training session and make it more specific to my needs, I would change

both the intensity and duration of the intervals to more closely align with my performance requirements.

I would suggest sets of short intervals ranging in duration from 10–30 seconds of work. This

more closely mirrors the efforts in a game of soccer. I would ensure that the level of intensity is closer to

90% or higher. This will ensure that I am training to improve anaerobic energy systems such as the

lactic acid system. I would aim for rest periods between each repetition that are similar in duration

to that of my performance and make them active rest periods since this will facilitate

recovery of lactic acid and be more specific to the sub-maximal periods of work in my

performance in soccer.

Section B QUESTION 9 (150 words)

An athlete completes a 30-second run at high intensity. After fully recovering, the same athlete completes a 120-second run at high intensity.

Compare and contrast the energy system contributions during the 30 second-run with the energy system contributions during the 120-second run.

During 30 seconds of high-intensity effort, the dominant energy system contributing to ATP

production is the lactic acid or anaerobic glycolysis energy system. While the lactic acid system

contributes the most, it only provides about half of the energy required for this duration.

The ATP-PC system provides a small percentage of energy as it is quickly depleted. The aerobic

system provides about a third of the energy used. In contrast, the aerobic system is the

dominant energy system for a duration of effort of 120 seconds. During this high-intensity

effort, the aerobic system provides about 60% of the energy required to produce ATP. Once

again, the ATP-PC system provides very little energy as it is quickly depleted. The lactic acid

system provides much of the energy needed for a 30-second duration, but by 120 seconds, it is

only providing a small part of the energy required.

Key: Acquiring: identify, describe, recall and comprehend facts, definitions, terminology and principles Applying: select, interpret, analyse and manipulate information

QUESTION 10 (150 words)

Recommend a training method to improve an athlete’s energy requirements for a 120-second run at high intensity. Justify your recommendation by referring to the training principle of specificity.

Fartlek training would improve the energy systems required for a 120-second, high-intensity effort.

Fartlek training is a form of continuous training that includes intervals of high-intensity effort,

separated by intervals of lower intensity effort of approximately 70% maximum heart rate.

This training method is ideal because the continuous training element of fartlek training targets the

aerobic energy system. The athlete can then work at a high intensity with a heart rate at

approximately 70% maximum heart rate. The aerobic energy system is important to develop for a

performance of 120 seconds because it provides a majority of the energy used over that duration.

Fartlek training also incorporates intervals of high-intensity sprints which will help develop the lactic

acid energy system. The lactic acid energy system accounts for about 30% of the energy

requirements for a 120-second effort.

this form of long interval training would help me develop a good lactic acid energy system,
