Assignment Three – Task & Help sheet 24

Introduction to the booklet’s components

This is course is designed to work through 3 separate, yet interlinked components. Each component has 3 separate

learning aims and each of these has its own assignment. Component one is designed to identify the different body

systems and how performers and athletes use rehabilitation and strategies to reduce and eradicate injuries.

Furthermore, we will explore how technology is used if a performer does get Injured. Component three takes an in-

depth look at the different principles of being a leader and the skills, characteristics and qualities that this encompass;

additionally, the component asks how leaders organise their sessions in order to support the biggest benefits of sport

regarding the body. Finally, component three challenges the student to design and lead their own sporting session in

order to provide an experience which can benefit performers body systems, allowing for the major benefits of sport to be witnessed through application as a leader.

You may be wondering where component two is – this is the external unit which will be evidenced with an exam in

the final year of completion. Components one and three are solely coursework based.

A brief look at the marking criteria

All students have a minimum target grade and on the BTEC Tech Award the expectation throughout the course is a minimum of a level 2 pass. Challenge yourself to go higher.

Every piece of coursework must match up with each of the items listed per each grade boundary. The level of detail

and use of language are in direct correlation to the grade achievable. At the end of each component students need to be able to evidence every point within a set grade in order to achieve it.

Component 1 – Understanding the body and the supporting technology for

sport and activity

Learners will explore body systems, common sports injuries and technological advances that impact on sport and

activity.

● Investigation of the impact of sport and activity on the body system ● Explore common injuries in sport and activity and methods of rehabilitation ● Understand the use of technology for sport and activity

Learning Aim, A – Investigation of the impact of sport and activity on the body systems

We will be identifying the major Body systems that help make up the human body and keep it supported and running

Lesson one

- The respiratory system • 1 – To understand the structure of the respiratory system

• 2 – To identify the function of the respiratory system linking to Gaseous Exchange

• Higher learning – To be able to understand the process of Gaseous Exchange

The Respiratory system is responsible for taking in Oxygen, through breathing, for working with the cardiovascular

system to allow Gaseous Exchange so that oxygen can be transferred to the blood (oxygen uptake) and transported

by the cardiovascular system to the tissues/working muscles.

Challenge

• How many of you are wondering how food doesn’t enter the Larynx when you are eating?

• The answer is the Epiglottis – a small flap which covers the Larynx when you are eating.

The lungs -

Research the following characteristics of the Respiratory System

Lungs

Bronchioles

Bronchi

Diaphragm

Alveoli

Lesson Two

- The Cardiovascular System • 1 – To examine the structure of the Cardiovascular System identifying the main components

• 2 – To identify the function of the heart and that of the cardiovascular system

• Higher learning – To be able to describe and evaluate how the cardiovascular system and respiratory system work together (cardiorespiratory system)

Task - Complete the heart

The key areas of the Cardiovascular System - https://youtu.be/oE8tGkP5_tc

• The Cardiovascular system transports oxygen, vitamins and essential nutrients throughout the body to the working muscles.

• The Cardiovascular system transports carbon dioxide materials from the tissues and works with the

respiratory system to allow Gaseous Exchange so that the carbon dioxide can be breathed out of the body

• The CV system transports platelets to clot open wounds

• The CV system reduces build up of lactic acid by removing waste products from the muscles

• The CV system regulates the temperature of the body during sporting activity through vasodilation and vasoconstriction

What is Vasodilation?

Students need to create a poster for each of the different body systems

Heading for each system

Purpose of the system

Image of the systems structure - Label the diagram

Identify important roles (Alveoli is where Gaseous Exchange takes place)

Examine, describe and justify the functions of each system identifying how they work and why they are needed. (Skeletal system has four functions: providing movement, support/shape, protection etc.)

Interesting facts page

Additional evidence of understanding

• 1 x Front cover – The Body Systems (design appropriately)

• 1 x title page for Cardiorespiratory system State that the cardiorespiratory system is the combination of the

cardio and respiratory systems so blood can carry oxygen around the body while removing waste

• 1 x title page for Musculoskeletal system

• Write that the Musculoskeletal system is the combination of the muscular and skeletal systems; which enable the body to have shape, protection, movement and many more functions

The

Minimum

Expectation

Lesson 5

- The Physiological (Physical) impact of engagement in Sport & Activity on the body systems

The benefits of participation in sport far out way the negatives – in this section of the course we will be examining these benefits and matching how they can support the components of fitness.

This lesson looks at the different

adaptations (changes) which can

occur to within the body systems due to regular participation in sport.

The maximum for this piece of work is

Some of the examples of improved ……. Through regular exercise participation are ……

Exercise can support the development of ……..

My Example

Regular exercise has a huge impact on the development of performers. Using regular sporting efforts performers can

significantly enhance their personal components of fitness. Examples of these changes can be identified as the use of

aerobic fitness training to increase the cardiovascular capacity for invasion games players to be able to run for longer.

The use of these training methods help to develop the size of the heart and lungs in order for sports performers to take

in more oxygen and increase the capacity of flow to the working muscles (an increase in efficiency and effectiveness of gaseous exchange).

The following are all well known effects of regular participation ………. And they support

the ……. Because …………

- Help sheet Two – A2 Impact of Exercise

You need to answer the following questions/statements using full sentences

1) Opening paragraph of how participation supports components of fitness with a 2 examples.

Regular participation in sport can have a lot of significantly positive effects. These effects

can support performers components of fitness by….

-Aerobic training (treadmill, cross trainer) helps cardiovascular fitness

-Weight training helps to improve muscular strength, body composition and muscular

endurance.

2) Identify the long term effects of regular exercise and how they can help development of performers cardiorespiratory (provide examples)

Regular exercise can positively effect the cardiorespiratory system in long term because

-help to increase blood flow …… supports provision of oxygen to working muscles

-increased vital capacity so more air (oxygen) can be breathed in during one breath…. Supports …..

These effects can help improve invasion games players because……

3) Identify and explain how long term effects of regular exercise can help the musculoskeletal system (provide examples)

Key words,

Cardiorespiratory, Musculoskeletal system, resting heart rate, resting blood pressure, red blood cells, blood

viscosity, efficiency of gaseous exchange, bone density, joint strength, muscle hypertrophy, strengthening of core muscles, because, as this allows, as a result, through development, support

My Example

Q2 – There are lots of positive effects which regular participation can have on the cardiorespiratory system. Some of

the major developments are: a drop in resting heart rate, increase in red blood cells and increased vital capacity.

These effects can support the development of performers due to the increasing performance levels. The drop in

resting heart rate means that performers can recover from work quicker so they are ready to perform again. The

increase in red blood cells is massively key in performers as red blood cells help to carry oxygen brought into the

body through gaseous exchange to the working muscles. The more red blood cells athletes have the more oxygen which can be moved at a time.

A specific sporting athlete that would benefit from all of these long term effects would be a footballer because……..

Performers who participate within regular exercise other a long time can anticipate developing their musculoskeletal system. Some of the positive effects could be increase bone density, increased joint strength, growth of muscle size and improved core strength. Individually these effects can significantly improve performance. Increased bone density for a footballer or rugby player will improve their ability to go into tackles and have a lowered risk of injury through breaking or fracturing a bone due to the core being stronger.

Identify how the long-term effect can impact the body system & then say how it can help a sports performer

Learning Aim B - Explore common injuries in sport

and activity and methods of rehabilitation

Assignment

Two – Part Two

Lesson Two

- The Causes of common sporting injuries

Following the examination of the different basic and complex sporting injuries; students need to understand how they can be caused. These causes then need to be included within their PowerPoints

Assignment Two – Part Three Lesson Three

- Management of sporting injuries and rehabilitation techniques & strategies

✔ To identify the different forms of injury management

✔ To process basic rehabilitation practices

✔ To understand the use of technology in rehabilitation

Management of common injuries

▪ Physiological ▪ Seek medical advice: first

aider, doctor, physiotherapist

Basic rehab

▪ Time: dependant on injury ▪ Hot & cold treatment ▪ Ice baths ▪ Basic strappings

Use of technology

▪ Cryotherapy chambers – subzero temperatures to repair diseased or dead tissue

1 – Physiological (body/physical)

Intensity

‘too much, too soon’,

gravity – when needing

balance - e.g. somersaults in

gymnastics, tackling in football, bad timing

Type of sport or activity - e.g.

contact sports

2 – Psychological (mental/mind)

Low self confidence

e.g. not fully committing to a tackle

Peer pressure

e.g. pressure to perform a skill beyond your ability

Reduced concentration as a result of stress

3 – Environmental

Weather leading to dangerous surfaces

Temperature – too hot or too cold (muscles)

4 – Equipment

Inappropriate clothing and footwear

e.g. lack of hiking boots for a fell walk

Lack of protective equipment

e.g. shin pads, gum shields

Damaged equipment

e.g. Springs not attached to trampoline

Incorrect use of equipment

e.g. using weights that are too heavy

5 – People Related risks

Age

Drug & alcohol

Skill level and experience

Insufficient warm up

Overtraining

6 – Coaching

Poor training methods

Unsafe practice

Poor technique

Inexperienced coaches

Students must understand and

explain how injuries can be

rehabilitated. There are several

different technologies which have

been created and for you to research if you do not recognise them

Explanation of task on the next page – overall tick sheet available as well

▪ PRICE: Protect, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate

▪ SALTAPS: Stop play, Ask the player, Look, Touch, Active movement, Passive movement, Stand up

------------------------------------------------Psychological: goal setting, relaxation techniques

▪ Flexibility exercises and yoga/pilates

▪ Hyperbaric chambers - enhances the body's natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber – good for divers suffering from the bends

▪ Resistance bands ▪ Electronic pulse massage

systems ▪ You now need to produce 2 slides identifying the following:

▪ 1st slide: The different types of rehabilitation strategies and technologies available

▪ 2nd slide: provide sporting examples of injuries which can be supported /rehabilitated using different

strategies and technologies.

E.g. A dislocated shoulder in rugby would see several uses of management, rehab and technologies. Firstly, physiological management, by a first aider assessing the injury using SALTAPS.

A physiotherapist would suggest goals for return to play and relaxation techniques. The need for time is obvious with

flexibility exercises further down the road of recovery. The use of resistance bands will support the rehab of a

dislocated shoulder by helping to strengthen the joint and muscles. This would only happen in the later stages of recovery. Roughly 6-8 weeks.

The Breakdown

1) Title slide: Exploration of the common injuries in sport and activity and methods of rehabilitation

2) Basic vs Complex Injury types table (PASS)

2) Basic vs Complex injury slides with symptoms (MERIT/DISTINCTION)

3) Identify each Basic and complex injury with symptoms and one sporting example (PASS)

3) Analyse the different injuries which can occur within a sport (minimum of 3 sports) (MERIT/DISTINCTION)

4) Identify the different potential causes of an injury providing a short explanation (Physiological (Physical), Psychological (Mental), Environmental, Equipment, People-Related risks, Coaching) (PASS)

5) identify the different types of injury management strategies and rehabilitation techniques for injuries Analyse, using sporting examples, which and why particular treatments will be used for each injury

Learning Aim B - Complete

Learning Aim C - Understand the use of technology for sport and activity.

Learners will discuss the different types of technology that are present in sport and demonstrate a clear understanding

of several of them. They will be able to clearly differentiate between the advantages and disadvantages of the

technological advancements and discuss them using clear sport and activity example

● investigate the technological advancements in sport and activity ● describe the advancements in different areas of sport and activity

● examine the benefits of technology in improving the body systems ● understand the limitations of technology

● use clear examples from the performer, coach/manager and official.

Lesson One

- The different categories of advancement

Equipment

within sports?

Protection

within sport?

Clothing? Footwear? Facilities? Cameras,

Computers & Software?

Task – identify which one of the slides attached belongs to which category – make sure to know them for later

I have done 1 for you

Lesson Two

- The benefits and limitations of technology

within sport

Technology can be a massive help – allowing officials to get decisions correct every time or by making performers

warmer through the items of clothing. However, those same technologies can hinder sport; for example by taking a

lot of time to review decisions and always having the option to scrutinise officials even more as well as being expensive to buy for those performers relying on sponsorship money.

The benefits of technology on improving body systems for sport and activity Learners will develop an understanding of the benefits that technology can have on specific body systems.

The performer: ● marginal gains in the musculoskeletal system over competitors due to skills analysis ● clothing makes the performer more aerodynamic, reducing drag ● GPS allows monitoring of cardiorespiratory training zones ● use of prosthetics to aid the musculoskeletal system ● improved footwear to suit biomechanical needs of the performer.

The coach/manager:

● video analysis of team performance to analyse cardiorespiratory effort ● video analysis of participant performances to analyse musculoskeletal technique, e.g. action camera footage ● using GPS technology to review cardiorespiratory effort on participants to enable appropriate squad selection ● use of apps, e.g. to rate mood states, to determine training activities.

The officials:

● moisture control clothing to allow effective thermoregulation ● use of smartwatches to analyse cardiovascular demands of the official’s role.

What other benefits of technology can you think of?

Assignment Three

1 - Introduction of the task – identify that there have been different technological advancements seen within 6 different categories relating to sport and physical activity

Limitations on the officials

breaks in play when tech is used

disrupts the flow of the game – slowing it down.

Lengthy breaks in play can change the

cardiovascular demands of the officials body

E.G try decisions in rugby mean the officials

watch a replay while the players wait, and

their cardiovascular demands decrease because of the wait

some techs are often available only to the

elite levels. E.G goal-line tech is only for the

high football performers (PREM) even though grass roots would benefit from the same tech

2 - Describe 2 different technologies available for each/every category we have covered. You need to cover what they are and their usage within a sport/activity. Make sure to provide examples.

3 - Identify the benefits of each of the technologies you have chosen of how they support individuals body systems and/or how they help the sport to be more effective – looking closely at the performers, coaches and officials

4 - Identify the potential limitations for each technology regarding sports – looking closely at performers, coaches and officials

Example answer

An effective technological advancement for software is Goal- line technology, which appears within elite

football.

This piece of technology is used to help provide information in regards to whether the ball has crossed the line, determining whether a goal has been scored.

A benefit of this software is that it allows officials to know whether the ball has crossed the line completely

when a tight decision needs to be made – for instance the ball hits the underside of the crossbar and the

assistant official cannot see.

The biggest limitation of this technology is that it is only available to the elite performers and leagues within the football community.
