5. Knowledge and understanding of redistribution of blood flow (AO1)

Redistribution of blood flow is also known as vascular shunting, where blood is directed away from inactive areas to active areas.

Vasoconstriction narrows the internal diameter of the arteries/arterioles supplying oxygenated blood to the inactive areas.

Vasodilation widens the internal diameter of the arteries/arterioles supplying oxygenated blood to the active areas.

Application of knowledge of redistribution of blood flow to the hockey match (AO2) Specific examples that would impact on requirement for redistribution of blood flow during activity. Inactive areas during the hockey match, the digestive system experiences vasoconstriction.

Active areas during the hockey match, the working muscles, experiences vasodilation. Consideration of the impact of the nature of hockey on the redistribution of blood flow, for example intensity of exercise during a game of hockey will vary from periods of low intensity to periods of high intensity which will affect the redistribution of blood flow.

Making connections between the need for redistribution of blood flow and the hockey match, and conclusion (AO3 – evaluation)

Advantages/disadvantages of redistribution of blood flow to the hockey player (oxygen/nutrient supply).

Consideration of why redistribution is required in terms of increased demand by the muscles during different parts of the match (for example walking, jogging, and sprinting) and of potential impact of blood flow to the brain (which remains active during the match).

Conclusion making a judgement that without redistribution of blood players would not be able to sustain match play.
