You will learn in depth about how the body works from a movement point of view (skeleton, muscles, heart and lungs, energy systems and training), from a psychological view (learning of skills, memory, factors that affect performance, functioning as a group) and a social, historical and cultural point of view. Lessons will be a mixture of formal taught lessons, group work, presentations, videos and practical lessons whenever relevant. There is not a specific practical lesson as there is at GCSE level. The course will be presented in the following format: Unit 1: Opportunities for and the effects of leading a healthy and active lifestyle: Physiology, Skill Acquisition (Psychology), and Sociology. Unit 2: Analysis and evaluation of physical activity as a performer and/or in adopted role/s. Unit 3: Optimising performance and evaluating contemporary issues within sport: Physiology, Skill acquisition (Psychology), and Sociology.
