Students will learn about the structure and functions of the musculoskeletal system that serve the body in different degrees, at different times to meet different demands, either separately or in combination. This will include the structure of the skeleton and muscles of the body, the structure of synovial joints, how joints allow different types of movement and how muscles work antagonistically on the major joints of the skeleton to affect movement in physical activity.
Core PE: Students focus on the benefits of a healthy active lifestyle by participating in a range of different sports and activities. Some sports differ from those taught at key stage 3 to create a different journey to a healthy active lifestyle. Students participate in two sports each half term with a focus on sports leadership, teamwork, independent learning and physical activity.
All students are assessed in each unit in line with the Assessment Objectives (AO1-4). Each practical unit they are awarded an overall band as well as a breakdown of marks out of 10 for skill development and 15 for performance of skill in a game situation. Each theoretical unit is assessed through half termly written exam papers.

Type of joint commonly found in the limbs.
Covers end of bones providing smooth, friction free surface.

Each theoretical unit is assessed through half termly written exam papers.
Relating to or denoting exercise taken to improve the efficiency of the body's cardiovascular system in absorbing and transporting oxygen.
Relating to or requiring an absence of free oxygen.
A simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.

Students will consider the structure and functions of the cardio-respiratory system linked to the physical demands of performance. This will include the pathway of air, cardiac cycle, mechanics of breathing and the interpretation of a spirometer trace. Students will learn about the terms aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise and apply both respiratory systems to different practical examples and intensities. Students discover excess post exercise consumption (EPOC) as the result anaerobic respiration during vigorous exercise and different recovery methods from vigorous exercise.

Delayed onset muscle soreness. The pain in the days following strenuous exercise.
Feelings of sickness during/after exercise.
Involuntary contraction of a muscle.
Undertaken after exercise to speed up recovery -e.g. walking, jogging and cycling.
Replacing lost water and minerals after exercise.
Immersion in cold water to speed up recovery.
Increase in size of muscle/heart due to long term exercise.
Lower resting heart rate due to long term exercise.
healthy active lifestyle, self-reflection, assessing

Students will discover the key components of fitness and specific training methods understanding the advantages and disadvantages, of weight, circuit, interval, continuous, fartlek, static stretching, weight and plyometric training. Students will study the principles of training, which includes specificity, progression, overload and training zones: calculating intensities to optimise training effectiveness. Students will learn about considerations to prevent injury. Students will gain an understanding of high altitude training and seasonal aspects.

The ability to meet/cope with the demands of the environment.
A course of action designed to assist in improving performance, fitness, health etc.
The Reversibility Principle dictates that athletes lose the beneficial effects of training when they stop working out. Conversely, it also means that detraining effects can be reversed when athletes resume training. In short, If you don't use it, you lose
Refers to boredom within the training programme. Change the type of training regularly.
