Physical Education explores how the body moves and what influences physical performance and participation. It combines practical activity with the study of body systems, training, and health. The subject is ideal for students interested in sport, fitness, and wellbeing.
You will improve your understanding of how the body works during physical activity, develop practical movement skills, and learn to evaluate performance. You'll also build teamwork, leadership, and analytical skills.
Unit 1: Body systems and how they respond to physical activity; benefits of regular exercise
Unit 2: How training and coaching improve performance; strategies for promoting physical activity in communities
Assessment: Practical performance tasks, written reports, tests, and research assignments. Assessment tasks combine theory with real-life application through physical activities
Physical Education can lead to careers in physiotherapy, sports science, exercise physiology, personal training, teaching, coaching, and recreation management.
