Sport BTEC

UPDATED 20161014 14:55:26

BTEC Level 3 in Sport is entirely comparable with A Level Physical Education as a qualification. The difference between the two courses is the method of study and assessment. Each unit will be internally assessed by a range of assignments designed and graded by the tutor. Assessment tasks are designed to allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the unit learning outcomes. Assignments can be completed in the form of presentations, practical tasks or written assignments. This form of assessment where there is no final exam is of course different to A level Physical Education. Summary of course content Students are required to earn 60 credits to gain the Subsidiary Diploma. In order to do this, students will cover four compulsory units and three optional units that will be tailored to the skills and interests of our students as well as the facilities and staffing that is available. The compulsory units are: The Principles of Anatomy and Physiology in Sport: The aim of this unit is to explore the structure and function of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems and also to learn the fundamentals of the energy systems. The Physiology of Fitness: This unit provides an opportunity for learners to explore the body's response to acute exercise and how the body adapts to long-term exercise participation. Assessing Risk in Sport: The aim of this unit is to make the learner explicitly aware of the vital nature of risk assessment and its management within the sports industry. Fitness testing for sport and Exercise: The aim of this unit is to enable learners to gain an understanding of fitness testing and the importance of health screening and health monitoring tests. The optional units cover a huge variety of topics ranging from Psychology of Sport to Sports nutrition. The units chosen will be those that are considered most suitable in relation to the students studying the course.
