6. Redistribution of blood flow from inactive areas to working muscles through the use on Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation.

7. Oxygen is taken to the Alveoli were it diffuses from a high concentration to a low concentration in the capillaries (blood stream). Carbon Dioxide generated from respiration moves from a high concentration in the capillaries to a low concentration in the alveoli.

8. a) Speed b) CV Fitness c) Flexibility9. a) Fartlek b) Interval c) Plyometrics10. Aerobically = 60-80%. Anaerobically = 80-90%11. Increased breathing rate. Increased Gaseous Exchange. Increase depth of

breathing.12. Cardiac Hypertrophy. Reduced blood pressure. Lower resting HR. Decrease

Recovery Rate.13. Fracture. Dislocation of joint. Concussion. Abrasion.14. Increased muscle girth. Increased muscular strength and power.15. Health - a state of complete physical, social and emotional well being and not

merely the absence of disease or infirmity.16. Bone density, gender, height, muscle girth17. Protein - Muscle repair and therefore increase strength/power. Carbohydrates -

Medium to high intensity energy production. Fats - Secondary energy source or low intensity energy source.

18. Sportsmanship is the type of behaviour you should see in sport. Good conduct. Shaking the opponents hand after a game. Gamesmanship - the type of behaviour you should NOT see in sport. Bending but not breaking the rules. e.g. diving to get a free kick.

19. Lack of facilities or clubs. Specialist equipment may be expensive. Physical barriers e.g. swimming pool hoists. Negative stereotyping, thinking that people with disabilities cannot participate in sport.

20.Success in sport results in coverage on television/media, therefore, resulting in a greater commercialisation e.g. sponsorships. and resulting in more money being put into the sport.
