COMPONENT 1 (30%): Physical Factors Affecting Performance (Written Paper) Applied Anatomy and Physiology This involves a study of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory and energy systems of physical activity. Environmental factors (altitude and heat) are also studied. Exercise Physiology: This is a study of how diet, ergogenic aids and different training methods prepare the body for exercise. Also included is the study of the impact of training on lifestyle diseases, as well as injury prevention and rehabilitation of injury. Biomechanics, including Technology in Sport: Included in this area are the study of motion, force, levers and the use of technology to optimise performance. Linear and angular motion, fluid mechanics and projectile motion are also studied. COMPONENT 2 (20%): Psychological Issues Affecting Performance (Written Paper) Skill Acquisition: This section looks at how skilful performance is acquired and developed through practice and coaching. Information processing and memory models are also studied. Sports Psychology: This section focuses on factors such as individual differences, group dynamics, attitudes, motivation, confidence and leadership in sporting performance. Stress management is also studied. COMPONENT 3 (20%): Socio-Cultural Issues in Physical Activity and Sport Sport and Society: This area examines the emergence and evolution of modern sports, as well as the background and impact of global sporting events. Contemporary Issues in Physical Activity and Sport: This area covers ethics and deviance in sport, the effect of commercialisation and the media, as well as the routes to sporting excellence in the UK. The impact of modern technology on sport is also studied. COMPONENT 4 (30%): Performance within Physical Education (Non-Exam Assessment) This component is split into two equal parts: Part 1 (Practical): Performance/coaching of a sport or activity from the approved DfE list. Part 2 (Verbal response): The Evaluation and Appreciation of Performance for Improvement (EAPI) of a sport or activity from the approved DfE list.
To join the Sixth Form we usually require five GCSE passes at Level 4 or above, including Mathematics and English Language.
