evaluate the effectiveness of extrinsic motivation for a beginner in sport (4)
Extrinsic rewards may result in pride which encourage the beginner to try harder to improve (1)
* Performers can become reliant on extrinsic motivation and if it is not given then the beginner may
reduce effort levels or give up completely (1)
* Intrinsic motivation leads to continued participation as the beginner may be making a lot of errors and strives to improve for personal achievement (1)
* Intrinsic is more effective for a beginner as it encourages them to play for the love of the game rather than for rewards or praise (1)
Describe the characteristics of physical health and wellbeing
All body systems working well; free from illness and injury; able to carry out everyday tasks
Describe the characteristics of mental health and wellbeing
Realises their own potential; can cope with the normal stresses of life; can work productively; able to make a contribution to their community
Describe the characteristics of social health and wellbeing
Basic human needs are met; has friendship and support; has some value in society; is socially active; has little stress in social circumstances
Describe the effects of exercise on physical health and wellbeing
Improves heart function; improves efficiency of the body systems; reduces the risk of some illness; able to do everyday tasks; to avoid obesity
Describe the effects of exercise on mental health and wellbeing
Reduces stress/tension; release of feel good hormones (serotonin); able to control emotions
Describe the effects of exercise on social health and wellbeing
Opportunities to socialise/make friends; cooperation; teamwork; have essential human needs (food, shelter, clothing)
Describe the effects of exercise on fitness
Improves fitness; reduces the chances of injury; can aid in the physical ability to work
What is a sedentary lifestyle?
A lifestyle with irregular or no physical activity
Describe some consequences of a sedentary lifestyle
Weight gain/obesity; heart disease; hypertension; diabetes; poor sleep; poor self-esteem; lethargy
What is obesity?
Having a large fat content, with a BMI of over 30
Describe the effects of obesity on physical health
Cancer; heart disease/heart attacks; diabetes; high cholesterol
Describe the effects of obesity on mental health
Depression; loss of confidence
Describe the effects of obesity on social health
Inability to socialise; inability to leave home
What is an ectomorph?
A somatotype characterised by being tall and thin, with narrow shoulders and narrow hips
Describe the effects of obesity on fitness
Limits stamina/cardiovascular endurance; limits flexibility; limits agility; limits speed/power
What is a mesomorph?
A somatotype characterised by a muscular appearance, with wide shoulders and narrow hips
What is an endomorph?
A somatotype characterised by a pear-shaped body, with wide hips and narrow shoulders
Describe the average calorie requirements
The average adult male requires 2500 Kcal per day; the average adult female requires 2000 Kcal per day
Describe the factors affecting calorie requirements
Age; gender; height; energy expenditure (exercise)
What is a balanced diet?
Eating the right amount of calories for the energy expended, and the right food types to provide suitable nutrition
Describe the reasons for a balanced diet
Unused energy is stored as fat, which could cause obesity; suitable energy can be available for activity; the body needs nutrients for energy, growth and hydration
What are carbohydrates?
The main and preferred energy source for all intensities
What is fat?
Another energy source that provides more energy than carbohydrates but only at low intensities
What is protein?
A nutrient for the growth and repair of muscle tissue
What are vitamins?
Organic substances that are required for many essential processes in the body
What are minerals?
Inorganic substances which assist the body with many of its functions
Describe the proportions of a balanced diet
55-60% carbohydrates; 25-30% fat; 15-20% protein
What is hydration?
Having enough water to enable normal functioning of the body
What is dehydration?
Excessive loss of body water interrupting the function of the body
Describe the effects of dehydration
Increased viscosity of blood slows blood flow so the heart has to work harder; increased body temperature may cause overheating; increased reaction time, poorer decisions; muscle fatigue/ cramps
What is a skill?
A learned action/behaviour with the intention of bringing about pre-determined results
What is ability?
Inherited, stable traits that determine an individual’s potential to learn/acquire a skill
Describe the characteristics of basic skills
Few decisions to be made; few decisions affect movement success; tend to be taught as a beginner; learned fairly quickly
Describe the characteristics of complex skills
Complex decision making; lots of decisions making to be successful; taught after success in basic skills; can take lots of time to master
Describe the characteristics of open skills
Unstable environment; affected by people around you; skill may change due to environment
Describe the characteristics of closed skills
Stable environment; not affected by people around you; performed the same way every time
Describe the characteristics of self-paced skills
Start of movement controlled by performer; rate of movement controlled by performer
Describe the characteristics of externally-paced skills
Start of movement controlled by external factors; rate of movement controlled by external factors
Describe the characteristics of gross skills
Large movements of the body; use of large muscle groups; movements tend not to rely on accuracy and precision
Describe the characteristics of fine skills
Small and precise movements; use of small muscle groups; movements tend to involve precision and accuracy
Describe the characteristics of outcome goals
Judged on end result; comparison against other competitors; performance standards may not be important; suited to elite performers
Describe the characteristics of performance goals
Focused on how you perform; not comparing your results against others; only analysed against own performances; suited to beginners
What is specific in SMART?
Specific to the sport being played, or movements/muscles used
What is measurable in SMART?
Possible to measure whether it has been achieved
What is accepted in SMART?
Accepted by the performer and possibly their coach
What is realistic in SMART?
Achievable/possible to complete
What is time bound in SMART?
Set over a fixed period of time
What is information processing?
Gathering data from the senses in order to make a suitable decision
What is input in information processing?
Using selective attention to gather information from the environment
What is decision making in information processing?
Selecting an appropriate response from memory
What is output in information processing?
Sending the chosen decision to the appropriate muscles to carry out a response
What is feedback in information processing?
Receiving intrinsic/extrinsic information about the success of the response
Describe the characteristics of extrinsic feedback
Comes from an external source; beginners rely on it heavily as they struggle to interpret their own success of their movement
Describe the characteristics of intrinsic feedback
Performers develop the ability to interpret sensory information; sensing movement of muscles and joints to assess skill success (kinaesthesia)
Describe the characteristics of positive feedback
Informs the athlete what was correct about the movement; given extrinsically; beginners need it to motivate them
Describe the characteristics of negative feedback
Includes information on actions required by performer to achieve the correct movement; given extrinsically; this can demotivate beginners but elite performers can accept it
Describe the characteristics of knowledge of results
How well you achieved your aim; usually given by coach or teacher but may be able to see the success yourself; suited to beginners because it is easier to interpret
Describe the characteristics of knowledge of performance
How well you performed and focusing on technique or specific aspects of your movement; quality of performance, not results; elite athletes can interpret complex feedback on performance so it is suited to them
What is arousal?
A physical and mental state of alertness, varying from deep sleep to intense excitement
