Year 11 Physical Education A

Subject Overview

Through Physical Education, students explore the participation in and performance of human physical activities. It is an experiential subject in which students explore their physical capacities and investigate the factors that influence and improve participation and performance outcomes, which lead to greater movement confidence and competence.

An integrated approach to learning in Physical Education supports an Arnoldian educational framework that promotes deep learning ‘in, through, and about’ physical activity. The application of this framework ensures students make meaning of the cognitive and psychomotor processes fundamental to the learning of physical activity. 

Topics may include:

• Energy Systems and Sources 
• Fitness Components 
• Training Principles and Training Methods  
• Movement Concepts and Strategies 
• Skill Acquisition  
• Biomechanics  
• Influences on Participation
