What are analysing relationships, not just totals?Show answer
QCAA analysis is about relationships: how the data connect to performance and to each other. Compare an athlete's results against secondary norms, track change across a training block, and link a fitness limitation to an observed performance limitation. Identifying a trend or a relationship is worth more than reporting a single value.
What is justifying a training strategy?Show answer
The data justifies the strategy. If the analysis shows the activity is repeated-sprint dominant and the athlete fatigues late in a game, the data supports prioritising the ATP-PC and glycolytic systems and repeat-sprint training, justified by specificity. The justification should cite the specific data, not a general belief about the sport.
What is evaluating effectiveness?Show answer
After the training block, students reflect on primary and secondary data to evaluate the effectiveness of the strategy against the determined outcome. Re-test under the same conditions, compare pre and post results, and judge whether the energy and fitness requirements were better met and performance of the specialised movement sequences improved. A sound evaluation also notes confounders (illness, missed sessions) and the limits of the data.
What is q1?Show answer
Distinguish primary data from secondary data, giving one example of each in a training context. [2 marks]
What is q2?Show answer
Explain why validity and reliability both matter when selecting a fitness test, and describe one way to improve reliability. [4 marks]
