For Excellence, the student needs to critically analyse a physical skill performed by self or others.

This involves drawing conclusions from the performance analysis about:

• which parts of the skill have the greatest impact on performance
• the factors that influence the person’s ability to improve their performance of the skill.

This student has drawn conclusions from the performance analysis about which parts of the skill have the greatest impact on performance. The conclusions link to the biomechanical principles used in the performance analysis (1).

This student has attempted to draw conclusions about factors that influence the ability to improve the performance of the skill (2).

For a more secure Excellence, the student would need to draw more detailed conclusions from the performance analysis about the factors that influence the person’s ability to improve their performance of the skill.

For Merit, the student needs to analyse, in depth, a physical skill performed by self or others.

This involves:

• discussing how the biomechanical principles inter-relate to improve the performance of the skill
• using this discussion to provide feedback and/or feed-forward to the performer with the intent of improving their performance of the skill.

The student has discussed how biomechanical principles inter-relate to improve performance of the skill (1).

The student has used this discussion to provide feedback (2) and/or feed-forward (3) to the performer with the intent of improving their performance of the skill.

The student has drawn some conclusions from the performance analysis about what parts of the skill have the greatest impact on performance and why they are important (4).

To reach Excellence, the student would need to draw conclusions from the performance analysis about:

• other parts of the skill that have the greatest impact on performance
• the factors that influence a person’s ability to improve their performance. 

For Merit, the student needs to analyse, in depth, a physical skill performed by self or others.

This involves:

• discussing how the biomechanical principles inter-relate to improve the performance of the skill
• using this discussion to provide feedback and/or feed-forward to the performer with the intent of improving their performance of the skill.

The student has explained the parts of a physical skill using biomechanical principles (1).

The student has briefly discussed how biomechanical principles inter-relate to improve performance of the skill (2).

The student uses the performance analysis and biomechanical principles to provide feedback (3) and/or feed-forward (4) to the performer with the intent of improving performance.

For a more secure Merit, the student would need to provide more detailed discussion on how the biomechanical principles inter-relate to improve the performance of the skill.

For Achieved, the student needs to analyse a physical skill performed by self or others.

This involves:

• breaking the performance of the physical skill down into component parts
• explaining the parts using biomechanical principles
• using the performance analysis and biomechanical principles to provide feedback and/or feed-forward to the performer with the intent of improving their performance of the skill.

The student has explained the parts of a physical skill using biomechanical principles (1).

The student has used the performance analysis and biomechanical principles to provide feedback (2) and/or feed-forward (3) to the performer with the intent of improving their swing in golf.

The student has attempted to discuss how the biomechanical principles inter-relate-to improve performance of the skill (4).

To reach Merit, the student would need to discuss in more detail how the biomechanical principles inter-relate to improve the performance of the skill.

For Achieved, the student needs to analyse a physical skill performed by self or others.

This involves:

• breaking the performance of the physical skill down into component parts
• explaining the parts using biomechanical principles
• using the performance analysis and biomechanical principles to provide feedback and/or feed-forward to the performer with the intent of improving their performance of the skill.

The student has briefly explained the parts of a physical skill using a range of biomechanical principles (1).

The student has used the performance analysis and biomechanical principles to provide feedback (2) and/or feed-forward (3) to the performer with the intent of improving their performance.

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

• explain in more detail and accuracy the parts of a physical skill using biomechanical principles
• use performance analysis and biomechanical principles to provide more detailed feedback and/or feed-forward to the performer with the intent of improving their performance. For example, the student could address why biomechanical principles are important for improving performance.

For Achieved, the student needs to analyse a physical skill performed by self or others.

This involves:

• breaking the performance of the physical skill down into component parts
• explaining the parts using biomechanical principles
• using the performance analysis and biomechanical principles to provide feedback and/or feed-forward to the performer with the intent of improving their performance of the skill.

The student has briefly explained the parts of a physical skill using some biomechanical principles (1).

The student has used the performance analysis and biomechanical principles to provide some feed-forward with the intent of improving the skill (2).

To reach Achieved, the student would need to explain in more detail the parts of a physical skill using biomechanical principles.
