Component 1: Physiological Factors Affecting Performance Students will focus on key systems of the human body involved in movement and physical activity. Component 2: Psychological Factors Affecting Performance Students will gain a deeper understanding of the underlying psychological factors that influence our performance in physical activity and sport. Component 3: Socio-cultural and Contemporary Issues Students will gain an understanding of the sociological and contemporary factors that influence and affect physical activity and sport for both the audience and the performer and how sport affects society Component 3: Performance within Physical Education Students will be required to undertake two parts within this component. Part 1: Performance/coaching of a sport or activity. Part 2: Analysis and Evaluation of Performance for Improvement (EAPI) of a sport or activity. Students will identify an area of weakness within performance to prioritise for improvement and will propose a short term (3-4 weeks) action plan to improve the area of performance identified. The teaching of the course takes a multi-disciplinary approach, encouraging the development of different methods of enquiry, drawn from a wide range of disciplines, with the focal point being the performer and the performance. The delivery of the course is based on the interaction between theory and practice of Physical Education. (Students should be aware that the course content is mainly theoretical across the Socio cultural and scientific disciplines. Only a few practical lessons will take place). A GCE qualification in Physical Education is now an essential pre-requisite for specialist study in Physical Education and Sport Studies at higher education. It also provides an excellent foundation for students to pursue careers in Physiotherapy, Teaching, Coaching, Sports Development, the Leisure Industry, Recreational Management, the Health and Fitness Industry and Professional Sport. It’s course content also compliments studies in Psychology, Sociology, Geography and the Sciences. https://www.ashmoleacademy.org/_site/data/files/post16/1665D110BFBC2774CA4DFED150071DED.pdf#page=36
