IB Sports, exercise and health science (SEHS) HL Internal Assessment Example

To what extent does recovery interval duration (1min, 4min, 8min ±5s) following a PAP (5 reps of box jumps) influence 20m sprint performance (measured by stopwatch ±0.4s), compared to baseline sprint speed without pre-activation, in invasion game male athletes aged 16–17 at an international school in Singapore?HL

Official IB Result

IB Grade: 6

Criteria A: Research design

5/6

Criteria StrandsPro

A.1Research question context

Excellent

A.2Methodological considerations

Good

A.3Reproducibility of methodology

Good

Criteria Feedback

The student frames the investigation in a specific, relevant sporting context and makes clear why the question matters.
The student identifies the independent and dependent variables clearly and includes a strong physiological rationale.
The student includes many important control variables that support validity and show thoughtful planning.

Some method details still need tightening so another researcher could reproduce the study without ambiguity.
The repeated sprint structure is not fully specified, especially the rest interval between trials.
There is an internal inconsistency in participant numbers that needs to be resolved.

Criteria B: Data analysis

4/6

Criteria StrandsPro

B.1Communication of data

Moderate

B.2Consideration of uncertainties

Moderate

B.3Processing quality

Poor

Criteria Feedback

The student presents raw and processed data in a way that is generally easy to follow.
The student makes a genuine effort to consider uncertainty and the impact of measurement error.
The student attempts meaningful processing beyond simple averages by using standard deviations, percentage change, graphs, and inferential testing.

Several numerical and presentation inconsistencies reduce confidence in the processed results.
The uncertainty treatment is not carried through consistently into the later interpretation.
The statistical test used does not match the repeated-measures structure of the investigation.
