GCSE PHYSICAL EDUCATION
REVISION GUIDE, PART TWO
Different Body Types
Somatotypes (body build/physique) Measurements taken from height, weight, bone
size, muscle girth and fat Endomorph Mesomorph Ectomorph Certain body types are particularly suited to
different sports!
Endomorph Characteristics: Fatness,
round body shape, large build.
Effect on sport: often not suited to endurance events, most commonly found in events requiring large body mass and strength, such as sumo.
Different Body Types
Mesomorph Characteristics: muscular,
broad shoulders, triangular body shape
Effect on sport: Most sportsmen are mesomrophs as most sports require strength and power. Strongmen and sprinters are good examples.
Different Body Types
Ectomorph Characteristics: Thin,
lean, low body fat levels Effect on sport: often
found competing in endurance events such as the marathon and sports requiring a light body such as jockey
Different Body Types
Optimum Weight
Factors affecting optimum weight: Height Gender Bone Structure Muscle Girth Genetics
Optimum weight in sport
Varies widely according to the sport; rugby and horseracing, for example, have quite different requirements.
A forward in rugby; need muscular strength & power, so large muscle girth.
A jockey; short with small bone structure & minimum amount of muscle.
Some people need to lose weight to reach their optimum weight (e.g. boxing)
Anorexic – a prolonged eating disorder due to the loss of appetite and a desire to not become overfat or obese/desire to become thin.
Underweight – weighing less than is normal, healthy or required.
Overweight - having weight in excess of normal. Not harmful unless accompanied by overfatness
OverfatOverfat – having too much body composition as fat Obese –describes people who are very overfat.
Weight-related conditions
Performance Enhancing Drugs
ANABOLIC STEROIDS
BETA BLOCKERS
DIURETICS
NARCOTIC ANALGESICS
STIMULANTS PEPTIDE HORMONES
ANABOLIC STEROIDS: Increase muscle mass & develop bone growth
BETA BLOCKERS: Help maintain a low HR and lower b.p
DIURETICS: To increase the amount of urine production
Performance Enhancing Drugs
NARCOTIC ANALGESICS: They give relief from painful injuries
STIMULANTS: They increase alertness
PEPTIDE HORMONES: Same as Anabolic Steroids, specific hormone EPO increases red blood cell production.
Performance Enhancing Drugs
Recreational Drugs
Smoking – Damages heart and lungs and raises blood pressure, increased risk of cancer, heart disease
Reduces bodies ability to carry oxygen so performers suffer from fatigue and loss of breath more easily.
Alcohol – Can cause damage to the liver and brain cells and increase likelihood of dehydration
It may affect performance by impairing judgments, slowing reaction times and causing dehydration, it is commonly used as a sedative in sports such as archery to improve performance.
Risk assessment & prevention of injury
How can we make activities safe? Warming up/cooling down Checking equipment & facilities Protective equipment & clothing Appropriate footwear Balanced competition – (weight
categories/mixed or single sex/age/handicap system)
Playing to the rules of competition
The CV system
Heart, Blood and Blood Vessels.
Heart pumps blood around the body (2 main functions):
1. To supply the body with oxygen/nutrients2. To remove waste products such as carbon
dioxide
Aerobic (with air) activity Any sustained activity
requiring increased breathing and oxygen consumption
Aerobic activities normally last for a minute or more
Increases cardio - vascular fitness and efficiency of respiratory system
E.g. long distance running
Anaerobic (without air) activity
Anaerobic activities are high intensity activities over a short period of time
They only last for 40 second or so, even the fittest athletes cannot work at this intensity for longer
Examples include 100m sprint
The CV system
Immediate effects of exercise: Increased HR (adrenaline released) Increased blood pressure Increased body temperature/sweating Lactic acid build up Muscle fatigue / tiredness
The CV System during exercise
Effects of regular training and exercise: Increased stroke volume and cardiac output
(so heart pumps more blood per beat) Quicker recovery rate Lower resting HR Healthy veins and arteries Reduced blood pressure
Overall more efficient CV system
Regular Exercise & the CV System
Rest High Cholesterol Recreational drugs Sedentary lifestyle & lack of exercise Stress
The effect of lifestyle on the CV system
The Respiratory System
Inspiration The intercostal muscles
contract pulling the rib cage up and out
Diaphragm contracts causing it to flatten
Chest cavity gets larger causing pressure in the lungs to fall
Air moves into the lungs through the trachea from the higher outside pressure into the chest and one of the two bronchi through bronchioles and into the alveoli.
Air flowing in
YOU WILL NOT BE TESTED ON HOW THIS SYSTEM WORKS BUT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THIS TOPIC
The Respiratory System
Expiration The intercostal muscles relax
and so the rib cage returns to normal
The diaphragm relaxes pushing it up
The chest cavity gets smaller so the pressure in the lungs increases
Air flows out of the lungs During periods of exercise
expiration becomes an active process involving the forced expulsion of air
Air flowing outward

Tidal volume “The amount of air inspired and expired with
each normal breath at rest and during recovery”
Tidal volume increases during exercise
Vital capacity “the maximum amount of air you can breathe
out after breathing in as much air as possible”
The Respiratory System
Oxygen debt
“the extra oxygen consumed during recovery from a period of strenuous physical activity, compared with the amount which would usually have been consumed over the same length of time at rest.”
Immediate and long term effects of exercise on the respiratory system
Immediate and long term effects of exercise on the respiratory system
Improved efficiency of lungs and better delivery of oxygen to the working muscles.
Meaning the body will be able to cope better during exercise.
VITAL CAPACITY increases No. OF ALVEOLI increases No. OF BLOOD VESSELS increases
Smoking can have serious negative effects on the respiratory system (i.e. damage alveoli affecting gaseous exchange).
The muscular system
The muscular system describes all the muscles in the body and how they work.
It is the driving force behind movement, which happens as a result of muscles contracting and lengthening.
Voluntary muscles bring about movement, these are the ones that can be consciously controlled and we use in sport and physical activity.
Involuntary muscles contract by themselves e.g. heart

Muscles and movement
Antagonistic muscles
Skeletal muscles work across a joint and are attached to the bones by strong cords known as tendons.
They work in pairs, each contracting or relaxing in turn to create movement.
Muscles and muscle action
Flexion (bending) of the arm
The muscle doing the work (contracting) and creating the movement is called the agonist or prime mover. The muscle which is relaxing and letting the movement take place
is called the antagonist.
Agonist or Prime Mover(Biceps contract)
Antagonist(Triceps relax)
How muscles work
A muscle can work in two ways; Isometrically Isotonically
ISOMETRIC the muscle stays the same length, a good example being during a tug of war, or when holding the plank.
ISOTONIC the muscle changes length as it works. Muscle Shortening= concentric Muscle Lengthens= eccentric
Long term effects of exercise on the muscular system
Increased muscle size (hypertrophy) (Atrophy is a loss of muscle mass; may experience
when injured and stop training)
Potential injuries: Soft tissue injuries: tears, pulls and strains Prevention: Warm up and cool down Treatment: RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation)
The skeletal system
• The skeletal system includes all the bones in the body.
•It maintains the body’s shape and supports it, keeps it in position, and provides a structure to which muscles are attached.
3 MAIN FUNCTIONS:1. Movement2. Support3. Protection
SUPPORT
Our skeleton offerssupport so we canmove, stand up ,
Sit down etc.

MOVEMENTBones meet to form joints, which act at
levers. Tendons attach to bones to muscles enabling
a variety of movements.

The structure of joints
Prevents friction
Lubricates the joint
Movement at joints
Joint movements:
Flexion – the angle at the joint is getting smaller. Extension – the angle at the joint is getting bigger
Adduction – a body part moves towards the centre line of the body
Abduction – a body part moves away from the centre line
Rotation – the movement is spinning or turning
Movement at joints
• Uniaxial joint which allows movement in one direction
• Allows: flexion + extension
• Like hinges on a door
• Found at: elbow + knee
Hinge Joint
• Allows: widest range of movement (all 5)
• Occurs when rounded head of a bone fits into a cup-sized cavity
• Found at: shoulder (scapula + humerus) and hip (pelvis + femur)
Ball and socket joint
Exercise and the skeletal system
Bones grow until you reach approx 18 years.
Exercise can...
Increase bone density Allow ligaments & tendons to become thicker
and stronger.
Weight bearing exercises
Bones become lighter and weaker with age.
Osteoporosis is when too much bone is lost, the skeleton becomes weak and bones can break very easily.
Exercise can prevent osteoporosis, particularly weight-bearing exercises such as walking, running, skipping. They put pressure on bones, increasing their strength.
INJURIES TO BONES...
Injuries to the skeletal system
Fractures:
Injuries to the skeletal system
•Stress fractures:
•An ‘overuse injury’ from muscles becoming fatigued and not absorbing shock, OR, from increasing exercise intensity too quickly.
•Activities played on hard surfaces such as basketball, tennis and road running are susceptible to stress fractures.
INJURIES TO JOINTS...
Injuries to the skeletal system
Sprain:
Injuries to the skeletal system
Torn Cartilage:
Injuries to the skeletal system
Dislocations:
When a bone at a joint is forced out of its normal position.
Result of a hard blow causing a bone to be displaced.
The most obvious symptom is deformity and swelling of the joint
Injuries to the skeletal system
Treatment for injuries
The treatment for minor injuries: THE RICE PROCESS:
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
And Finally....
Diet and the skeletal system
Diet is essential for a strong, healthy skeletal system.
A balanced calcium-rich diet helps bones to grow and increase density (milk, cheese, yoghurt).
Vitamin D is essential to the growth and maintenance of healthy bones and helps absorb calcium.
Smoking and too much alcohol have a toxic effect on bones.
