Who Is This Course For?
Stage 1:
This course is suited to students that have an interest in sport, health and fitness. They will be presented with opportunities to learn through physical activity and other integrated activities. Students will be given the opportunity to improve individual and team performance by using informed practice. Enrolling in this course will introduce students to the learning processes presented at Stage 2 and provide a foundation they can build on, for the following year.
Stage 2:
This course is for students who have an interest in sports, health and fitness, as well as factors that influence performance improvement and skill acquirement. Students will develop skills and knowledge to independently shape personal and individual development. Students who are considering tertiary education in the areas of Exercise Physiology, Health & Fitness, Sport Science, Physiotherapy, Sport Psychology or Physical Education, will benefit from the learning outcomes this course provides.
What Will I Learn?
Stage 1:
Students develop knowledge and understanding of key concepts through their participation in physical activities such as sports, theme-based games, fitness and/or recreational activities. When constructing performance improvement tasks, students will engage in content linked to Biomechanical Principles, Human Physiology, Coaching Methods, Training Principles, Movement Concepts and Strategies. Assessment Type 2 requires students to participate in activities, to investigate how personal, social and cultural factors influence participation. Each assessment task will require students to collect and analyse evidence as they develop analytical skills needed for Stage 2 Physical Education.
Stage 2:
The key concepts associated with this course range from:
- Movement Concepts and Strategies
- Training Principles and Methods
- Skill Acquisition
- Human Physiology
- Biomechanical Principles
- Sport Psychology
- Communication and Collaborative Strategies
Students will collate and analyse data related to aspects of physical performance and make connections to the key concepts to explain changes to individual and team performance. The course provides students with the autonomy to structure their assessment tasks, which allows them to perform skills and apply concepts that align with their interests and needs.
