Everyone taking this qualification will study three mandatory units, covering the following content areas: 1. Anatomy and physiology. 2. Fitness training and programming for health, sport and well‐being. 3. Professional development in the sports industry. In addition, you can choose one optional unit that has been designed to differentiate progression needs. They cover the following content areas: · application of fitness testing · sports psychology · practical sports performance · sports leadership. Lessons will differ in style between lecture style note-taking, practical investigations, video analysis, oral presentations and case study health analysis. When time allows, year 13 students will also be allowed to visit a local University to carry out some performance and fitness analysis using state-of-the-art equipment. Regular performance in at least one sport is advised to ensure the knowledge base is present when applying the theory to practice in case studies.
