This course builds on the student’s experience from Key Stage 4 to enhance knowledge and understanding of the factors that affect performance and participation in physical education. It offers students the opportunity to experience and develop an interest in a variety of roles in sport such as performer and leader. The course will address current contemporary topics such as sport and society and technology in sport but also key topics such as skill acquisition, applied anatomy and physiology, biomechanical movement, exercise physiology and sports psychology.
