For ease of reference and consistency, we recently added the scenario titles to the front covers of all set-assignments for Cambridge Nationals.

To reflect this change, we've also updated the unit recording sheets (URS) for the following qualifications:

Cambridge National in Sport Science – J828

• R181 – Applying the principles of training (version 3)
• R182 – The body’s response to physical activity (version 4)
• R183 – Nutrition and sports performance (version 3)

Cambridge National in Sport Studies – J829

• R186 – Sport and the media (version 3)
• R187 – Increasing awareness of...activities (version 4)

These updated URS now include a space for you to write the scenario title for the current year’s set assignment. 

From January 2026, please make sure you include the scenario title on the URS. This will help your moderator to quickly identify which assignment has been used.

You can download the updated URS from the Administration section of the Sport Science and Sport Studies qualification pages on our website. They're also available on Teach Cambridge.

Note: This update does not apply to Unit R185 in Sport Studies, as its scenario title stays the same each year.

If you have any queries about this update, please call our Customer Support Centre on 01223 553998 or email us at support@ocr.org.uk.
