What does A2 Physical Education course involve? On completing the course you will have specialised in two practical sports and developed the skills required to improve your performance through detailed analysis of performance. The theory component develops a range of skills involving: the study of anatomy and physiology e.g. the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems and how these respond to exercise; some psychological aspects e.g. motivation and arousal; and also sociological aspects which include issues such as violence and drugs in sport, the Olympic Games and the nature of sport and culture in Britain, the USA and in Australia. Each week you will have a practical session and three theory sessions where you will be expected to make links between how the theory complements the practical performance. Alongside practical lessons, every opportunity is used to illustrate the theory through relating it in a practical situation. You are therefore involved in a number of ‘theory through practical’ workshops throughout the year which are both informative and enjoyable.
