Question 12

Level 3 (7-9): A detailed and coherent response that accurately explains physical, emotional and social wellbeing benefits, applies them specifically to Oliwia's situation as a newcomer to a club, and reaches a well-justified evaluative judgement about which type of benefit matters most for her. Sustained, accurate use of health and wellbeing terminology throughout.
Level 2 (4-6): Some accurate coverage of physical, emotional and/or social benefits, with some application to Oliwia's situation, though coverage of all three dimensions or the evaluative judgement may be underdeveloped or one-sided. Generally correct use of terminology.
Level 1 (1-3): Basic or generic statements about the benefits of physical activity with little or no specific application to Oliwia's situation and little evaluation of which benefit matters most.
Level 0 (0): No relevant content.
Indicative content:
- Physical benefit: playing badminton regularly can improve Oliwia's cardiovascular endurance and muscular fitness through repeated rallies and movement around the court.
- Physical benefit: regular participation also supports the healthy functioning of body systems more generally, e.g. the cardio-respiratory system.
- Emotional benefit: taking up a new activity and developing a new skill can build Oliwia's confidence and sense of achievement.
- Emotional benefit: regular activity is linked to stress relief and an improved, more stable mood.
- Social benefit: joining a club gives Oliwia the chance to make new friends and build relationships with other members she did not previously know.
- Social benefit: badminton doubles specifically requires communication and cooperation with a partner, which can strengthen social skills.
- Evaluative point: because Oliwia has not previously been part of a club, the social benefits (making friends, building a support network within the club) may matter most in the short term, since a positive social experience is likely to determine whether she keeps attending, before larger physical fitness gains have had time to build up.
- Evaluative point: over a longer period, all three dimensions are likely to become important together, since sustained emotional motivation and social support are what allow the physical benefits to accumulate through continued attendance.
- Balanced conclusion: no single benefit type should be seen as more 'real' than the others; the judgement is about which is most likely to matter first for someone new to a club, not about which benefit is most valuable overall.

B1 this strengthens their sense of belonging to the team (social wellbeing), oe
B1 stronger relationships/team cohesion can improve communication and effort on the pitch, oe

Question 16

B1 quality or amount of sleep, oe
B1 relationships with family and friends, oe
Answer: The quality or amount of a person's sleep, and their relationships with family and friends, can both affect overall wellbeing.

Question 17

Answer: Improved cardiovascular fitness.

Question 18

B1 fitness only measures the ability to meet physical demands, e.g. of a sport or of everyday life, oe
B1 health also includes emotional wellbeing (e.g. mood, stress levels) and social wellbeing (e.g. quality of relationships), which fitness tests do not measure, oe
B1 so a person can score highly on fitness tests while still experiencing poor emotional or social wellbeing, oe
Answer: Fitness only measures the ability to meet physical demands, but health also includes emotional wellbeing (such as mood and stress levels) and social wellbeing (such as the quality of relationships), which fitness tests do not measure.
