Modern sport is widely viewed as a science, which incorporates many aspects such as Psychology, Physiology, Biomechanics and Skill Acquisition. It is this science that also provides a foundation for physical health and well-being, which has a significant relevance to everyday life. In a world where many millions of people are physically inactive and afflicted by chronic ill health, the sport and exercise scientist should be equally proficient when prescribing exercise for the promotion of health and well-being. Sports, Exercise and Health Science (SEHS) sits in IB group 4. It is available at Standard and Higher Level. The SEHS curriculum explores three themes: - exercise physiology and nutrition of the human body; - biomechanics; - sports psychology and motor learning. Through these, SEHS students will develop long-enduring knowledge and understanding of the science at play in human physiology, biomechanics and psychology.
The following are required for entry into the Sixth Form: • A Headmaster’s or Headmistress’ reference from the pupil’s current school • Attainment of a satisfactory standard at the Assessment Day and Scholarship Examinations or Exhibition assessments, where appropriate • Six (I)GCSE passes at Grade B (6) or above, with a minimum of Grade C (5) in English Language and Mathematics
External Exams Paper 1 Paper 1A: Multiple-choice questions Paper 1B: Data-based questions and questions on experimental work (1½ hours (SL) 36% Paper 2 Short answer and extended-response questions (1½ hours (SL) 40% Internal The scientific investigation is an open-ended task in which the student gathers and analyses data in order to answer their own formulated research question. The outcome of the scientific investigation will be assessed through the form of a written report. The maximum overall word count for the report is 3,200 words. 24%
