Description

This unit will examine the benefits of participating in physical activity and sport on health, fitness and well-being to include physical, emotional/ mental and social factors. It will also explore the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle and implications of ill health.

Pupils will already know about components of fitness and the long term benefits of training on their body systems from the physical training and anatomy and physiology units. This unit connects the physiological and psychological factors with a focus on everyday health and well-being. Later in health, fitness and well-being pupils will study how diet and nutrition also contribute to well-being.
