1. Distinction task
Criteria: “Compare and contrast how the energy systems are used in sports with different demands”
You can choose any sports you want
However, you need to use sports that will allow you to compare and contrast – i.e. there needs to be some similarities and differences.
Some sports may use all 3 systems (as in the merit task), but there may be sports that only use system 1 or systems 1&2.
You must refer to at least 3 different sports.
