words in each question.

1. (Articular cartilage) prevents/reduces friction/wear and

tear/bone (ends) rubbing / grinding together or allows

friction-free/smooth movement

2. (Synovial fluid) lubricates joint or prevents/reduces

friction or nourishes cartilage

2

NB. If candidate states that both reduce friction at the

joint then 2 marks are awarded.

Examiner’s Comments

Most candidates scored well on this question, usually

stating cartilage as a shock absorber or reducing friction

and synovial fluid as a lubricant of the joints. A minority

did not attempt to give an answer for both the articular

cartilage and synovial fluid.

Examiner’s Comments

This question was completed extremely well by the vast

majority of learners who stuck to the long-term benefits

to the skeletal system – a small number misread the

question and gave the benefits to the muscular system

and therefore could not score the marks available.

Those that scored the full two marks mostly gave

‘increase in strength’ and ‘density of bones’. Those that

simply stated, ‘increase in movement’ did not score the

mark for an increase in the range of movement at the

joint.

their functions. The majority of learners were able to

identify the synovial membrane and the synovial fluid,

with some learners identifying other structures such as

the cartilage or ligament. Most who gave the correct

identification then went on to accurately explain the

function of each. Some learners however did not give a

function for each and therefore could not score full

marks. Again, it is important for learners to address all

When performing a pike jump, the gymnast causes flexion at the

hip joint with a concentric contraction of the iliopsoas muscle.

This muscle is the agonist during this movement. On landing,

the gymnast returns to an upright position by contracting the

gluteus maximus muscle.5

Answers are in bold and underlined.

Flexion – concentric – Iliopsoas – agonist – gluteus

maximus

Examiner’s Comments

This was answered well by most candidates who

worked through the ‘word bank’ to find the appropriate

words. Most were able to correctly identify flexion, but

many confused the contraction type. Most correctly

identify the word agonist but many put incorrect muscle

names especially for iliopsoas.

Examiner’s Comments

This was answered well by many learners, although

some repeated the terms in the question rather than

describing and giving an example. Most wrote correctly

about the rib cage or the skull protecting the vital organs

within. For the functions of movement and blood cell

production, learners answered less clearly and

accurately, with many simply repeating the word

movement or writing that bones produced blood cells

rather than blood cells being formed in the marrow of the

bone. Those that scored few marks often omitted a

practical example for each function – suggesting that in

at least some cases they may not have read the

question carefully enough.

Points made but generally not developed.

At the top of this level both positives and negatives have

been identified, and some have been described, such as

stronger bones, arthritis prevention and examples of

chronic or high impact injury.

Practical examples are mostly relevant and linked to

many points made.

At the bottom of this level a few points have been made

but there may be more focus on either negatives or

positives, and specific conditions may not be named.

Some practical examples are relevant and some are

linked to points made.

Level 1 (1–4 marks)

A limited answer:

Basic knowledge & understanding.

Little or no attempt to analyse/critically evaluate and/or

discuss/explain/develop.

Little or no attempt at practical application of knowledge.

Technical and specialist vocabulary used with limited

success.

Written communication lacks fluency and there will be

errors, some of which may be intrusive.

10. Negatives can be minimised

Use of correct techniques

Avoid overtraining/follow principles of

training

Apply moderation/progressive overload

At Level 1 responses are likely to include:

Basic knowledge of the impact of physical activity on the

skeletal system.

At the top of this level at least three effects are likely to

have been identified and at least one has been

described. They may all be either positive or negative

impacts, and there may be inaccuracies. Few or no

practical examples are relevant and few if any linked to

points made.

To score 1 mark one effect of exercise on the skeletal

system has been named or described.

[0 marks] No response or no response worthy of credit.

Examiner’s Comments

This ten-mark question is marked using a levels

response mark scheme with descriptors that enable

Examiners to pinpoint a mark from the responses they

read.

Many candidates answered this question well and took

into account both the positive and negative impacts. A

few of the lower scoring candidates stuck with either

positive or negative and too many candidates ignored

the demand to use practical examples to support their

answer.

Candidates are reminded that using practical examples

is often a feature of these extended questions and for

them to be prepared to use relevant practical examples

throughout their answer.

The better scoring candidates pleasingly gave detailed

knowledge and understanding of the impacts of activity

on the skeletal system, a common feature of these good

candidates is that they use the correct technical

vocabulary throughout their answer. Some candidates

tended to wander off the point and write in detail about

the muscular system and therefore scored few marks.

This extended question is also assessed on the quality

of written communication and the better responses

again showed a fluent and accurate approach, with few

spelling errors and with good use of clear sentences and

paragraphs. Weaker candidates again showed poor

structure and accuracy in spelling.
