Coursework Tactic Strengths and Weakness

Tactic strength 1

Awareness of rules and regulations

awareness of rules and regulations justification

both hands used when turning

correct transitions used

doesn’t move on block

awareness of rules and regulations theory

emergence of modern sport

she has access to a set of rules which are unchanging

she has access to media which can help her understand rules more clearly

OSP awareness of rules and regulations

not disqualified

Tactic strength 2

when to turn

when to turn justification

not too close or far away from wall

doesn’t glide into wall

when to turn theory

stages of learning

in autonomous stage of learning

turns naturally at right time

OSP when to turn

quick turn

faster overall time

tactic weakness 1

application of strategy to sprints and longer races

application of strategy justification

increased breathing frequency throughout race

pace slowed throughout race

obvious fatigue

doesn’t maintain speed

application of strategy theory

routes into sporting excellence

she may not have access to regular training outside school with elite coaches

OSP application of strategy

quicker fatigue

unable to sprint finish

tactic weakness 2

timing of breathing

timing of breathing justification

due to stroke pacing breathing is excessive

this increases throughout race due to fatigue

timing of breathing theory

respiratory system

isn’t getting enough o2 to working muscles for the intensity of the exercise

OSP timing of breathing

slows down time- less time spent streamlined

quicker fatigue- moving head up and down constantly

tactic weakness 3

how far to travel underwater after a start

travelling underwater after start justification

glide not long enough

doesn’t optimise time in streamline

comes up early

travelling underwater after start theory

arousal

inverted U theory

has really good start

panics

comes up too early

OSP travelling underwater after a start

slows down time

quicker fatigue as more distance has to be covered in full stroke
