Students choosing to study for an A Level in PE need to have a strong interest in the factors that affect sports performance both in theory and practice. It is not essential to have studied PE for GCSE but it will provide a strong platform when starting the course, as much of the theory is recovered in more depth. It is important that you have the ability to either perform or coach in sport and have the confidence to perform in one of these roles. A Level PE covers a range of topics that help us understand the science behind being a top-level athlete, the history of sport and current affairs within sport. Topics covered include anatomy and physiology, sports psychology, skill acquisition, sport and society, exercise physiology, biomechanical movement and the role of technology in sport. The course also looks at the student in a practical situation performing in one roles in sport from performer or coach. It must be understood that the course is more heavily weighted on theory - though this is often taught through practical methods. The course prepares students for a move into higher education and the world of work. Applicants are expected to be a higher level performer in at least one sport.
