Albert Einstein once said, “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else”. Human performance is amazing but it takes Physics to be able to throw a javelin a world record distance of 98.48 metres. In this course you will learn the biomechanical principles and how they relate to sport. As a sportsperson or coach, you will be able to use Physics principles to get your ultimate performance. This course will require you to be an active participant and make links between physics principles and their practical application.

The standards which could be assessed against are:

•  Physics 2.2 (91169) - Demonstrate understanding of physics relevant to a selected context (internal)

•  Physics 2.4 (91171)  - Demonstrate understanding of mechanics (external) 

• Physical Education 2.2 (91328) - Demonstrate understanding of how and why biophysical principles relate to the learning of physical skills
