1. A basketball performer has to acquire many skills.
Three basic skills in basketball can be identified as
dribbling, shooting and the defensive stance.
Describe the variety of movements at the different
joints that take place when performing these skills.
6 marks
Extension- underline or highlight the indicative content

2. A healthy active lifestyle and your
muscular system.
• In this topic you will learn the names of a number
of muscles and the different types of muscular
contractions.
• You will look at the effects of training on the
muscular system and the long term effects of
regular participation.
• The potential for injury, how diet can help to
build and repair muscle tissue.
• The effects of performance enhancing drugs on
the muscular system.
• Name the muscles that you know!

3. The Muscular system
• LO
• To know the major muscle groups
• Know which activities benefit from them and
the role of muscles in movement.
• P137

4. INVOLUNTARY CARDIAC VOLUNTARY

muscle. They are not muscle as it is not or striated muscles.

carry on functioning automatically. Only attach to the skeleton
throughout life. They found in the heart. and provide shape.

intestines, blood control these muscles
vessels and urinary (nerves) and dictate
organs how they move.

5. Location and function of major
muscles
There are 11 specific muscles you need to know.
1. Deltoid
2. Trapezius
3. Latissimus Dorsi
4. Pectorals
5. Abdominals
6. Biceps
7. Triceps On your sheet underneath
8. Gluteals each muscle state the
movement it produces and
9. Quadriceps where it takes place
10.Hamstrings
11.Gastrocnemius e.g. The gastrocnemius
produces plantar flexion

6. On p 142 the summary table links the muscle with a
sporting action.
Write down a different sporting action for 5-11 the
muscles.
E.G the abdominal muscles cause flexion at the hips. This
is needed prior to take off in the high jump.
A/A* students – can spell and identify where the 11
major muscle s are and link a sporting action to all
specifying the movements
C/D student- knows where the 11 major muscles are and
can only link a few to sporting actions with no mention of
movement (terms)

7. Antagonistic pairs
(p136)
• The body is moved by muscle groups not by
individual muscles.
• Muscles can only pull on a bone (when they
contract) to produce movement in one direction.
• So another muscle needs to work in partnership
in order to move in the opposite direction.
• Therefore muscles are arranged in antagonistic
pairs.
• In your own words explain what antagonistic
pairs are.

8. Draw 2 diagrams
• Show the antagonistic muscle pair working at the
knee joint to move the tibia and fibula.
• Extension-
• Prime mover (agonist)= pulling muscle
• Antagonist= relaxing muscle
• Identify these on your diagram
