Challenging paper 1 78 mark paper, mark scheme and annotated student answers

I have devised a very challenging full 78 mark question for paper 1 (human body) including 7 multiple choice questions, various AO1, AO2 and AO3 short answer questions ranging from 1 to 4 mark questions and finishing with an 9 mark extended question. Please note I have not included a 6 marker due to the challenging nature of the questions included.

Question topic areas include the following:
• Analysing EPOC graph
• Analysing benefits and drawbacks of altitude training
• Interpreting blood flow changes and explaining how redistribution of blood flow occurs
• Methods of training application
• Ice bath procedure and application to DOMS
• Explaining mechanics of breathing and recruitment of additional muscles
• Functions of the skeleton and factors influencing joint stability
• Defining components of fitness and application to sporting examples
• Movement analysis (ankle and shoulder) in swimming and weight lifting
• Blood pressure and explaining systole and diastole
• Explaining process of gaseous exchange
• How to reduce of risk of injury
• Extended 9 marker question progressive overload and specificity in invasion games

A detailed and comprehensive mark scheme with grade boundaries already calculated for you (feel free to adapt for your students / school)

A students feedback sheet broken down for each question to highlight strengths and areas to focus revision on.

I have included visual good and bad practice for a range of questions clearly annotating students answers and highlighting where marks are awarded etc.

I hope you find these resources useful in the preparation for the upcoming exams.

Good luck to everyone!
