Sports Science studies the application of scientific principles with the aim of improving sporting performance. This subject is designed to prepare students for VCE Physical Education.
In this subject students will experience a range of topics covered in VCE PE. Students will complete both practical and theoretical lessons focussing on Body Systems, Energy Systems, Biomechanics and Training Programs. Throughout their involvement in practical activities, students investigate and analyse movements in a variety of activities to develop an understanding of how the body works to produce movement, how this movement can be improved as well as how biomechanical principles apply.
