ContentThis subject provides an opportunity to further develop fundamental 'Sports Science' knowledge in preparation for Stage 1 and 2 Physical Education studies. Areas of study focus on developing the whole athlete and may include: fitness testing and analysis, psychology in sport, sports nutrition, injury prevention and management, and body systems. The practical component extends the range of sports activities covered in the compulsory courses in Years 8 and 9. The continued development of game skills and knowledge to improve performance is the focus; however, students will also be expected to develop and display personal qualities, attitudes and behaviours consistent with positive outcomes for individuals and groups. |
