Getting ready for assessment

This section has been written to help you do your best when you take the assessment test. Read through it carefully and ask your tutor if there is anything you are still not sure about.

The assessment test is in two parts. Part A will contain a scenario based on an individual who

needs guidance on training, lifestyle, and nutrition upon which secondary research is to be

conducted. This scenario will be released to you a set period of time before Part B. Part B will

include supplementary stimulus information building on the scenario information in Part A.

As the guidelines for assessment can change, you should refer to the official assessment

guidance on the Pearson Qualifications website for the latest definitive guidance.

About the test

To improve your chances during the assessment you will need to revise all the key

assessment outcomes that are likely to appear. The assessment outcomes were

introduced to you at the start of this unit. To help plan your revision, it is useful to know

what type of learner you are. Look at the following table and decide which descritpion

sounds most like you.

Type of learner Visual learner Auditory learner Kinaesthetic learner

What it means • Need to see something

or picture it to learn it

• Need to hear something to

learn it

• Learn better when physical activity

is involved – learn by doing

Helpful ways

to prepare for

the test

• Colour-code information

on your notes

• Make short flash cards

(so you can picture the

notes)

• Use diagrams, mind-

maps and flowcharts

• Use post-it notes to

leave visible reminders

for yourself

• Read information aloud, then

repeat it in your own words

• Use word games or mnemonics

to help

• Use different ways of saying

things – different stresses or

voices for different things

• Record short revision notes

to listen to on your phone or

computer

• Revise your notes while walking
  • use different locations for

different subjects

• Try and connect actions with

particular parts of a sequence you

need to learn

• Record your notes and listen

to them while doing chores,

exercising etc. – associate the

tasks with the learning

Preparing for the test

Do not start revision

too late! Cramming

information is stressful

and does not work.

● Once you receive the scenario for Part A, you should independently conducte

research and make notes over the time period before the supervised

assessment. Plan a timetable to address each topic contained in the scenario

and prepare a set of notes to take into the supervised assessment. Make sure

you are familiar with the content by the time you undertake Part B.

● Read carefully any instructions and all the content you are given on the day

for Part B. Make sure you refer to your prepared notes and consider how the

new supplementary stimulus information builds on the scenario in Part A –

write down notes on a blank page.

UNIT 2

Fitness, Training and Programming for Health, Sport and Well-being

With reference to the lifestyle questionnaire shown, interpret

the lifestyle factors and screening information for the client.

[12]

Answer: Client is 30 years old and his BMI suggests he is

overweight and needs to lose between 8 and 10 kg. His blood

pressure is too high and he should drink less alcohol. He has

an office job and does not get any exercise during the day or

at home. Says he wants to play football again but afraid he

will make a fool of himself because he is too fat and not fit

enough. Wants to change his lifestyle.

Suggest relevant training methods for the client. [8]

Answer: Client’s aims are to lose weight and get fit for

football. Suggest Week 1 training of 3 days per week

concentrating on cardiovascular fitness to underpin later

muscular endurance, agility, flexibility and further

cardiovascular fitness. To review blood pressure after three

and six week intervals. Try to make training football-specific

if possible. Initial cardiovascular training to concentrate

on low to moderate treadmill exercises to get client’s base

fitness levels up. Begin Week 1 with low intensity resistance

machines with focus on the legs to aid football.

Design weeks 1 and 6 of a 6-week training programme for the

client. [6]
