For Excellence, the student needs to demonstrate comprehensive understanding of how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills.

This involves:

• evaluating how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills
• explaining the interrelationship between the biophysical principles.

The student has fully explained how and why a biophysical principle (projectile motion) relates to the learning of the volleyball serve, as well as the interrelationship between biophysical principles (functional anatomy and other biomechanical principles) (1).

The student has evaluated how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of the volleyball serve (2).

For a more secure Excellence, the student would need to evaluate in more detail how and why other biophysical principles (feedback or visualisation) relate to the learning of the volleyball serve. The evaluation needs to be supported with specific examples from the sessions.

For Merit, the student needs to demonstrate in-depth understanding of how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills.

This involves:

• explaining fully how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills
• explaining the interrelationship between biophysical principles.

The student has fully explained how the biophysical principles (skill learning, biomechanical principles and functional anatomy) relate to the learning of the dig shot, as well as the interrelationship between the biophysical principles (1).

The student has evaluated how and why a biophysical principle (external feedback) relates to the learning of the dig shot (2).

To reach Excellence, the student would need to evaluate in more detail other biophysical principles that relate to the learning of the dig shot, supported with specific examples from the sessions.

For Merit, the student needs to demonstrate in-depth understanding of how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills.

This involves:

• explaining fully how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills
• explaining the interrelationship between biophysical principles.

The student has fully explained how biophysical principles (stability and balance, and functional anatomy) relate to the learning of the dig shot, as well as the interrelationship between the biophysical principles (1).

For a more secure Merit, the student would need to:

• explain more fully why the biophysical principles of stability and balance relate to the learning of the dig shot
• provide more specific examples from the sessions to support explanations for other biophysical principles.

For Achieved, the student needs to demonstrate understanding of how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills.

This involves explaining how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills.

The student has explained how and why biophysical principles (biomechanical principles, functional anatomy and skill learning) relate to the learning of the underarm serve (1).

To reach Merit, the student would need to:

• explain more fully why the biophysical principles (biomechanical principles, functional anatomy and skill learning) relate to the learning of the underarm serve
• explain clearly the interrelationship between the biophysical principles.

For Achieved, the student needs to demonstrate understanding of how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills.

This involves explaining how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills.

The student has explained how and why biophysical principles (biomechanical principles) relate to the learning of the set shot (1).

For a more secure Achieved, the student would need to explain in more detail how and why biophysical principles, for example distributed practice, functional anatomy or external feedback relate to the learning of the set shot.

For Achieved, the student needs to demonstrate understanding of how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills.

This involves explaining how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills.

The student has briefly explained how and why the biophysical principles (biomechanical principles) relate to the learning of the underarm serve (1).

To reach Achieved, the student would need to:

• explain in more detail how and why the biophysical principle (biomechanical principles) relate to learning of the underarm serve, using a greater understanding of biomechanical principles, for example force summation
• explain in more detail how and why the biophysical principle (functional anatomy) relate to the learning of the underarm serve, for example the joint movements and the specific muscles involved (2).
