little fruit and vegetables.

Q13 (a) Identify the Eatwell Guide’s recommendation for eating fruit and vegetables and provide two examples of how more fruit and vegetables

can be consumed in his diet.

UNIT CODE USP78 LO1/3

Answer Total marks

Allocate 1 mark for: At least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day. Allocate 1 mark each for any 3 of the following

Examples

A glass of unsweetened 100% fruit juice (150ml) can count as one portion, and vegetables cooked into dishes also count.

Chop a banana over your breakfast cereal, or swapping your usual mid-morning snack for a piece of fresh fruit.

Try replacing a snack with a piece of fruit. A banana or an apple often costs about half the price of most

chocolate bars or packets of crisps.

Most types of fruit and vegetables can count towards our daily intake and they don’t have to be fresh to

count.

Fruit and vegetables cooked in dishes such as soups, stews or pasta all count as do frozen and tinned fruit

and vegetables.

Dried fruit such as currants, dates and figs also count but these should be eaten at mealtimes, not as a

between-meal snack, as they can cause tooth decay.

Q12 (b) Explain how physical activity can contribute to manipulating energy balance

UNIT CODE USP80

LO2 Answer

Total marks

Allocate 3 marks for an explanation that represents factors outlined below. Marks should be given for the quality of the explanation not a list of factors.

Positive energy balance = When energy intakes exceeds expenditure, a state of positive energy balance is achieved and body mass will increase

Physical activity can manipulate energy balance:

Physical activity typically accounts for approximately 15-30% of a person’s daily energy expenditure (DEE).

However, it can be the most variable component of daily energy expenditure and has by far the most

profound effect. For example, a sedentary person may expend as little as 100kcal in day, whereas world

class athletes nearly double their daily energy output, expending 2000 kcals, as a result of 3-4 hours of

hard training. Factors that influence energy expenditure during physical exercise include: intensity and

duration of activity, body mass, external resistance, terrain, environmental conditions.

The energy contained in the food we consume, cannot not directly be used to provide

energy for activity, therefore it must first be converted to a form which the cells can use.

Q11 (c) Describe RPE and explain how this may be a useful method to assess the intensity of cardiovascular exercise

UNIT CODE USP84

LO3 Answer

Total marks

RPE = rate of perceived exertion

Rating of perceived exertion can provide an accurate method of monitoring and prescribing exercise intensity because it is highly related to exercise heart rates and VO2.

RPE is also a valuable aid in prescribing exercise intensity for individuals whose HR response to exercise may have been altered due to medication.

Rating of perceived exertion is assessed using a scale which provides a way of quantifying subjective feelings of exercise intensity,

An individual is asked to state how hard they feel they are working. A given numerical rating then corresponds to the perceived relative intensity of the exercise.

Allocate 1 mark for identifying RPE

Business are keen to sponsor teams to promote their brand but teams must continue to win to maintain their sponsorship deal.

Magazines use of often unrealistically lean and fit images of men and women can lead to the development of poor body image and put pressure on people to try to achieve unsafe and unrealistic level of body fat, which can results in physical, mental and emotional problems

The rise in internet shopping has led to the demise of many small sports clothing retailers.
