Physical Education

This course investigates how physiological, psychological and biomechanical factors combine together to influence the quality of performance in a variety of physical activities. It also investigates the socio-cultural and historical effects on participation in physical activity and how performance can be improved through practice and by analysis and evaluation. In the practical unit students will be assessed in two practical activities where they may be able to choose between performing, coaching and officiating.

And afterwards… This course gives a good basis for any degree at university, including Sports Science, Recreation Management and Teaching. Students may also progress to work in the leisure and recreation industry, the armed forces or the police.
