Theory:
The theory elements will cover the following topics Anatomy and Physiology, Cardio-Respiratory system, Anaerobic and Aerobic exercise, Movement Analysis, Training, Sports Psychology, Socio-Cultural Influences, Commercialisation of Physical Activity and Sport, Ethical Issues, Health and Fitness and Use of Data.
Practical:
The expectation is that students participate in a minimum of one sport outside of school. Students will be practically assessed in three different activities (one being a team activity, one as an individual and a third in either a team or in an individual event). The PE department will also run a weekend residential to Brecon to use climbing as a sport to help secure the best possible practical marks.
