Students will need to keep a log of their training and competitive fixtures undertaken during Year 12 and 13. This course will develop theoretical knowledge and understanding of factors that underpin physical activity and sport in an academic setting. Modules include Anatomy and Physiology, Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Sport and Society, Contemporary Issues in Sport and Sports Psychology. A variety of study methods are used on this course including Problem Solving, Debate, Discussion and Presentations, Practical Performance and Oral Observation of Live Performances. This course is academic in nature so practical lessons are limited to specific activities.
