Bones and structure of the skeleton

Classification of bones

Structure of a synovial joint

Different joints and their movements

Muscles of the body and antagonistic pairs

Types of muscle contraction (isometric, concentric and eccentric)

This unit will examine the structure and function of both the skeletal and the muscular systems. It includes locating major bones and muscles before defining and analysing what movements are possible at different joints.

Anatomy and physiology: the musculoskeletal system

The structure of the heart

Blood vessels, blood cells and the vascular shunt

A practical exploration of the pathway of blood

The cardiac cycle

The relationship between heart rate, stroke volume and cardiac output

Air pathway from the atmosphere to alveoli and gaseous exchange

A practical exploration of how the cardio-respiratory systems work together

Mechanics of breathing and interpretation of a spirometer trace

This unit will examine the structure and function of both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. It includes the correct anatomical names and location of different chambers, valves and blood vessels as well as the pathway of air through to the alveoli and how gaseous exchange occurs.

Anatomy and physiology: the cardio-respiratory system

Practical examples of aerobic and anaerobic exercise

EPOC and the recovery process

This unit will explore the impact of varying the intensity and durations of exercise upon the build up of lactic acid and recovery rates. Exercises will be classified as either aerobic (with sufficient oxygen) or anaerobic (without sufficient oxygen).

Anatomy and physiology: anaerobic and aerobic exercise

Immediate and short term effects of exercise on the body

A practical exploration of heart rate response to exercise and recovery

Long-term effects of exercise

This unit will explore the immediate and short term responses our bodies make to cope with the effects of exercise as well as the longer term adaptations it makes in response to training that enable us to cope better with exercise and improve performance.

Anatomy and physiology: the short and long term effects of exercise

Lever classification

Levers in sporting actions

Planes of movement and axes of rotation

Planes and axes in action

This unit will explore basic principles of movement and their effect on sporting performance to include the classification of levers, planes of movement and axis of rotation. This understanding enables pupils to maximise efficiency of movement or generate more power.

Movement analysis and basic biomechanics

The relationship between health and fitness

Cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, power and speed

Types of strength

Agility, balance, co-ordination, flexibility and reaction time

A practical exploration of fitness testing - endurance

A practical exploration of fitness tests: speed, strength, power and flexibility

A practical exploration of fitness tests: balance, coordination, agility and reaction time

The importance of fitness components in sport

Reasons for and limitations of fitness testing

This unit will explore the relationship between health, fitness, exercise and performance before unpacking the different components of fitness. This understanding will include key definitions, how to test and train each but also which components are most important for different sports.

Physical training: health and fitness

Principles of training and their application

The FITT principle

Thresholds of training

This unit will explore the guidelines or principles that we should follow when training to improve health, fitness and sporting performance.

Physical training: principles of training

Injury prevention

Warming up and cooling down

This unit unpicks the many factors to be considered to prevent injury in sport. It focussess on the effective delivery of both warm up and cool down components of training.

Physical training: injury and injury prevention

Data collection and presentation

Data analysis and evaluation

This unit supports pupils to be able to demonstrate an understanding of how both qualitative and quantitative data are collected, presented and analysed to include tables and graphs.

Use of data

Non-examined assessment: preparing for analysis and evaluation

This unit will provide guidance and support to enable pupils to successfully complete their exam board specific coursework.
