QCE Physical EducationPractice Examination 6

This paper covers

• 1500 m running — aerobic system dominance beyond 90 seconds
• VO2 max and lactate threshold as performance determinants
• ATP-PC to anaerobic glycolysis to aerobic system interplay and transition time points
• Continuous training and aerobic interval training within a mesocycle
• Training principles: progressive overload, specificity, individuality, variety, reversibility, rest and recovery
• FITT formula application to aerobic training
• Periodisation: macrocycle, mesocycle, microcycle; preparatory and pre-competition phases
• EPOC and oxygen debt following high-intensity running
• VO2 max, OBLA/lactate threshold physiological mechanisms
• Ethical issues in athletics: performance-enhancing drugs, fair play, equity
• Tactical awareness in track running: movement strategies, pacing, constraints
• Training session structure: RAMP warm-up, conditioning phase, cool-down
• Energy system fuels, end-products, and oxygen dependency
• Fitness components: aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, flexibility, speed
