Worked Solution & Example Answer:The graph represents levels of arousal for two athletes (Kaitlin and Annika) for the same activity - HSC - SSCE Personal Development and Physical Education - Question 20 - 2006 - Paper 1
Step 1
Which statement best describes the performance of Kaitlin and Annika?
Answer
To analyze the performance of Kaitlin and Annika based on the graph:
- At a low level of arousal, both athletes perform poorly.
- As the arousal increases, Kaitlin's performance peaks before declining due to over-arousal, while Annika's performance gradually increases.
- At point Z, Kaitlin is indeed over-aroused, which negatively impacts her performance, while Annika seems to handle her arousal levels better.
Based on this analysis, the correct option is (D): Kaitlin is a better performer than Annika, but at Z is performing worse due to over-arousal.
