Students will develop an understanding of the importance of participating in physical activity, and the long-term health benefits of a sustained active lifestyle, including key influences that impact on people’s involvement in physical activity.
Students will learn about the anatomy and physiology of the human body and fitness and body systems, and the demands placed upon the body during performance. They will learn about the psychology involved in sport and how sport has developed, including looking at how sports technology is developing.
The course encourages creativity and decision-making skills to enable students to plan effectively for sporting performances, and to respond to changing situations. It is suitable for students who show a keen aptitude and standard in at least three sporting areas and who are actively involved in clubs (school or external) outside regular P.E. lessons. Students who take this course are often County standard in at least one of the three sports.
