Component 1: Physiological Factors Affecting Performance Focuses on key systems of the human body involved in movement and physical activity. Students will develop their knowledge and understanding of the changes within these body systems prior to exercise, during exercise of differing intensities, and during recovery. Component 2: Psychological Factors Affecting Performance Focuses on the psychological factors affecting physical activities and sports, including: models and theories that affect learning and performance in physical activities; how different methods of training and feedback work and why their effectiveness differs from person to person; group dynamics and the effects of leadership and stress on performers. Component 3: Socio-Cultural Issues in Physical Activity and Sport Students will develop their knowledge and understanding of how physical activity and sport have developed through time and the factors that shape contemporary sport. Component 4: Performance in Physical Education Students are required to demonstrate effective performance, the use of tactics or techniques and the ability to observe the rules and conventions under applied conditions. In addition to one practical performance, students will be assessed in the Evaluation and Analysis of Performance for Improvement (EAPI). Students will observe a live or recorded performance by a peer in either their own assessed performance activity or another activity from the approved list. Through observation, students will provide an oral response analysing and critically evaluating their peers’ performance.
