Below is a model answer that gained full marks in the prelim exam.

Question: 1b) Analyse the benefits and limitations of the method(s) you used to gather data on performance? (4)

The benefits of using video is that once I have videoed my performance then I am able to view and analyse my performance and this can help me to see what improvements I need to make which was good as it helped to improve certain areas of my technique. Another advantage is that the video can be viewed at any time and can also be re-winded, fast forwarded or slowed down which was useful as it meant I could view my technique a lot and in slow motion which would give me a better view. The limitations of video is that it can require a lot of money to first set up which meant that I would have to take up some time and make some purchases. Another limitation is that it could take a long time to do if there is a lot of people that need videoed so it can limit training time.

The benefits of a scattergraph is that it is easy and simple to understand so it can easily be executed and carried out. Another benefit is that it provides valuable and valid information that can then be referred back to in the future. A limitation of the scattergraph is that if the shot is high paced it might be hard to see exactly where it lands so it may not be as accurate.

Below is a model answer that achieved full marking in the prelim exam.

Question: 1a) Explain the method(s) you used to gather data on the impact of the PHYSICAL factor on performance? (4)

One method I used to gather data on my performance was the Sit and Reach Test in order to gather data on my level of flexibility. The Sit and Reach Test allowed me to gather data on my flexibility. The benefits of the Sit and Reach Test are that; it is held indoors so in a controlled environment, easy to make comparisons to national norms and the test is quick and simple to conduct as I do not require any specific knowledge of flexibility therefore; accurate results will be maintained. It is also easy to understand.

Another method I used to gather data on my performance was the Standing Vertical Jump. This test measured my power. The benefits of this test are that; it is simple, quick, and easy to conduct as you don’t require much specific equipment. Also, I can make comparisons to national norms/averages and the test is easy to understand.
