Use of Data
- 2 subtopics
- 6 things to know
- Components 1 and 2
What Use of Data covers
Use of Data is examined in both written components, since Components 1 and 2 each embed the use of data. It covers Collecting and presenting data and interpreting data and normative comparisons.
Where it is assessed

Qualitative data vs Quantitative data
Qualitative data: descriptive information about opinions, feelings or qualities. Quantitative data: numerical information that is measured or counted.
Mean vs Range
Mean: the total of the values divided by how many there are. Range: the gap between the highest and lowest values.
Median vs Mode
Median: the middle value when results are put in order. Mode: the value that occurs most often.
Questions from this topic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is quantitative data?
Model answer
Quantitative data is numerical data that can be measured or counted. A sprint time or a heart rate in beats per minute is quantitative.
- 2
What is qualitative data?
Model answer
Qualitative data describes qualities, opinions or feelings rather than numbers. A coach's written comments on a player's technique are qualitative.
- 3
How can quantitative data be collected in physical activity and sport?
Model answer
Quantitative data can be collected with fitness tests, stopwatches and heart rate monitors. Tally charts of passes or shots also give numerical data.
- 4
How can qualitative data be collected in physical activity and sport?
Model answer
Qualitative data can be collected through interviews, observation and open questions on a questionnaire. A performer might describe how hard a training session felt.
- 5
What are the strengths and weaknesses of quantitative data?
Model answer
Quantitative data is objective and easy to compare, average and show on graphs. Quantitative data rarely explains why a result happened.
- 6
What are the strengths and weaknesses of qualitative data?
Model answer
Qualitative data gives detail and reasons, such as why a performer lost confidence. Qualitative data is subjective and harder to compare or show on graphs.

Use of Data revision questions
- What does Use of Data cover in Edexcel GCSE Physical Education?
- 2 subtopics: collecting and presenting data and interpreting data and normative comparisons. Each one has its own page with questions and model answers.
- How is Use of Data organised?
- By the Edexcel 1PE0 specification, subtopic by subtopic, so it matches the order you are taught it in.
