Hello and welcome to this exam preparation course for Year 12 Physical Education Unit 3 & 4 (VCE, HSC, GCSE)
Now, the assumption is that you've been putting in the hard work all in Year 11 and all through this year as well. This course is designed to help you remember most of the key concepts and to get into exam answering mode!
These are the Key Knowledge points that we'll cover in this course (Note, we won't cover them all). For full details, check out the VCE, HSC or GCSE Physical Education Study Design 2018-2023:
Classification of movement skills including fundamental movement skills, sport specific skills, open and closed skills, gross and fine skills, and discrete, serial and continuous motor skills
Influences on movement including individual, task and environmental constraints on motor skill development
The link between motor skill development and participation and performance
characteristics of the three energy systems (ATP–CP, anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic system) for physical activity, including rate of ATP production, the yield of each energy system, fatigue/limiting factors and recovery rates associated with active and passive recoveries
interplay of energy systems in relation to the intensity, duration and type of activity
fitness components: definitions and factors affecting aerobic power, agility, anaerobic capacity, balance, body composition, coordination, flexibility, muscular endurance, power and strength, reaction time and speed
assessment of fitness including:
– the purpose of fitness testing including physiological, psychological and sociocultural perspectives
– pre-participation health screening (PAR-Q)
– informed consent
– test aims and protocols
– test reliability and validity
methods of at least two standardised, recognised tests for aerobic power, agility, anaerobic capacity, body composition, flexibility, muscular endurance, power and strength and speed.
training program principles, including frequency, intensity, time, type, progression, specificity, individuality, diminishing returns, variety, maintenance, overtraining and detraining
training methods including continuous, interval (short, intermediate, long and high intensity), fartlek, circuit, weight/resistance, flexibility and plyometrics
psychological strategies used to enhance performance and aid recovery including sleep, confidence and motivation, optimal arousal, mental imagery and concentration
nutritional and rehydration recovery strategies including water, carbohydrate and protein replenishment
The best way to get through this online course is with time, focus and intentionality.
