Sports Studies

Course summary

This course is for pupils passionate about sport, exercise, health and fitness. The units studied are a mixture of theory and fitness practicals, and pupils need to show a willingness to work on the practical and understanding of health and fitness aspects of the units outside of the classroom environment. Pupils must be able to communicate with others and be willing to learn many skills which cannot be examined in a formal sense. A real thirst to learn about the effects of lifestyle on health and fitness is paramount to this course. Pupils should appreciate the need to understand their body, the way it works and responds to exercise. A good pass in science is a great advantage in this area of study. An inquisitive mind to research modern trends in the health and fitness industry is also to be encouraged.
