A recreational cyclist is training for a 100km charity ride. They are currently struggling to maintain a consistent pace and experience significant fatigue in the later stages of their rides. They seek advice on how to improve their performance.
b. Explain how an understanding of biomechanics and energy production can inform the cyclist’s training program to reduce fatigue and improve endurance over the 100km ride.

It falls under Integrated movement experiences in Unit 4: Training to improve performance. Submit your answer above to receive instant AI-powered marking and personalised feedback.
In this unit, students’ participation and involvement in physical activity will form the foundations of understanding how to improve performance from a physiological perspective. Students analyse movement skills and fitness requirements and apply relevant training principles and methods to improve performance at various levels (individual, club and elite). Improvements in performance, in particular fitness, depend on the ability of the individual and/or coach to gain, apply and evaluate knowledge and understanding of training. Students assess fitness and use collected data to justify the selection of fitness tests based on the physiological requirements of an activity, including muscles used, energy systems and fitness components. Students then consider all physiological data, training principles and methods to design a training program. The effectiveness of programs is evaluated according to the needs of the individual and chronic adaptations to training.
In this area of study, students reflect on their participation in a practical activity and use primary data collected to demonstrate their integration of theory and practice across Units 3 and 4. Using an interdisciplinary approach, students are required to analyse the interrelationships between skill acquisition, biomechanics, energy production and training, and the impacts these have on performance. An extended response will be used to assess this area of study, in which students will answer a prompt(s) utilising the evidence recorded in their reflective folio. Prior to the extended response, students will use a planning tool such as a mind map to determine and explore links between theoretical concepts and the practical activity.
