Practical / Activity Performance and Record Work
This is the internal-assessment domain: the record book, viva, skill demonstrations, project and the theory of fixtures and test administration are all examinable.
What the record contains
Fitness-test scores with dates and normative interpretation, yoga and asana performance, game-skill checklists, first-aid practicals, and a project report with aim, procedure, observation and conclusion. Every entry needs a date, a unit and a comparison with a norm or an earlier score.
Fixtures
- Knock-out: matches = N − 1; byes = next power of two − N; rounds = log₂(next power of two).
- Single league: matches = N(N − 1) ÷ 2; double league = N(N − 1).
- League is fairer; knock-out is quicker and cheaper.
Worked example
Draw a knock-out fixture for 11 teams. Reasoning: the next power of two above 11 is 16, so byes = 16 − 11 = 5. Matches = 11 − 1 = 10. Rounds = log₂ 16 = 4. Five teams receive a bye in round one, the remaining six play three matches, and those winners join the five to make eight in round two.
Traps
- Writing 11 − 1 = 10 byes; byes and matches are different quantities.
- Forgetting that byes go to higher-seeded teams, usually decided by drawing lots.
- Counting rounds as matches.
- A record book with scores but no norms, units or graph.
- Losing viva marks because you cannot name the muscles used, the test protocol or the safety points of the skill demonstrated.
