Question
Part A
3 (a)
Choose an activity
Describe in detail the range of
fitness requirements for effective
performance. (6 marks)
 Task
1 In your jotter you should make up
a plan in order to help you answer your
question.
 Task
2 Swap your notes with someone on
the other side of the room who will add
or amend anything you have missed.
Opening paragraph will include:
 The activity you have chosen
 Your role within that activity
 Will outline that there are 3 areas of
fitness which are required for effective
performance
• physical, skill-related and mental aspects of
fitness
 And
briefly describe your role in the
activity (your key responsibilities)

In football there are a range of fitness
requirements: physical, skill-related and mental
which are required for an effective
performance. In my role as a central midfield
player I have several responsibilities. Some of
the key ones are to cover large areas of the
pitch in order to link the defence with attack. I
must help close down space in defence and get
tackles in on the attackers. When we win the
ball I must support the attack by getting up the
pitch and providing my team-mates with
effective passing options.
 Next
you are required to write 3
paragraphs – one for each ‘area’ of fitness
(physical, skill, mental)
 Each paragraph should include and
detail
• at least 2 aspects of fitness (Physical = CRE +
SE)
• the aspects should be defined (What is CRE?)
• Why is it important to your specific role?

As a central midfield player having a high level of
CRE is very important for effective performance.
CRE is concerned with the efficiency of the heart
and lungs. If I have good CRE then I can ensure a
sufficient supply of oxygen reaches the working
muscles over the entire 90 minute game. This is
particularly important to my role as a central
midfield player because I am expected to cover
large areas of the pitch. It is my responsibility to
track opponents back into defence in addition to
having the energy to get up the pitch and support
the attack when we win the ball back. If my CRE is
better than my opponents then towards the end of
the game I will be able to get away from them more
easily making me an unmarked option in attack.
Another aspect of physical fitness I require to be
effective in my role is speed endurance…….

An aspect of skill-related fitness which is
important in my role as central midfielder is
agility. Agility is the ability to move the body
quickly and precisely. It requires both speed
and flexibility. Good agility helps me to
quickly change direction and accelerate into a
space. This could make me available for a pass
from my team-mates and could help create an
overload in attack because I have lost my
marker. Being agile also helps me dribble past
opponents as I can change speed and direction
more quickly. In addition reaction time (or coordination) is important to my role…….

In my role as central midfielder in football it is
important that I keep my level of arousal at a
moderate level. Arousal refers to how
motivated you are during your performance. If
my arousal is too low, maybe due to fatigue or
my mind being elsewhere, then I may not try
hard enough to make the long runs up pitch to
support the attack making my team less likely
to score important goals. In addition being
overly aroused cold result in me being anxious
or stressed. This would be bad because I need
to be calm and composed on the ball to
execute my passing game effectively. In
addition managing my emotions (or rehearsal)
is important……


3 types of fitness

2 Aspects of each type

Describe specific performance situations when theses aspects are
important and how they effect your ability to perform.
