Studying A Level Physical Education will enable students to become well-rounded academic individuals in the world of PE, Sport and Sports Science. Topics include: • Cardiovascular, respiratory, neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems • Skill acquisition and the principles and theories of learning • Sport in the 21st century and the impact of sport on society • Diet and nutrition • Training methods • Biomechanical principles • Psychological influences and effects on the individual and team • The role of technology in sport and physical activity
A good grade in GCSE Physical Education would be advantageous, but is not essential. The practical aspect of the course equates to 30% of the overall grade and therefore a good level of experience and sporting ability would be beneficial.
