Introduction Within Physical Education we study four factors which impact on performance in sport (MESP). These are:

Introduction continued For each factor we will follow the cycle of analysis:

Physical Fitness

Physical Factor We will start by investigating the Physical Factor. The Physical factor is split into two areas: • Physical Fitness • Physical Skill related fitness The first area we will be looking at is Physical Fitness and gathering data on this from home.

Muscular Endurance Definition: Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to work continuously for extended periods of time without tiring. Impact on Performance: If the muscles tire, due to poor muscular endurance, then the performer will be unable to make effective use of the muscles. For example, muscular endurance in the upper body is required when swimming for an extended period of time as you must be able to consistently use your arms to pull through the water for the duration of the race. In the role of centre net hitter in volleyball, you would require a high level of muscular endurance in the quadriceps as you are constantly running and jumping in the front court when attacking and defending at the net.

Task 4 Complete the following question: 1. Describe a test that you used to collect data on physical fitness (4)? Remember the mark indicates you should be making 4 descriptive points on how you did one of the tests. Imagine you are describing how you set up the test to an alien: WHO, WHAT, WHERE and WHEN. The question is worth 4 marks so you must make 4 points that describe the test.
