In collaboration with PE Resources, Year 10 WACE Sport Science programs are now available!

The programs present an excellent opportunity to significantly cut your workload, whilst ensuring students gain a solid foundation for upper school PE Studies. 

 

Description

This Applied Sport Science course offers a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the various aspects of sport science and how they can be applied to improve performance in sports and exercise. With 40 lessons, students will gain a broad understanding of the key concepts in anatomy and physiology, energy systems, fitness testing and training, training principles and methods, nutrition for sport and exercise, biomechanics, recovery strategies and injury management.

 

Key outcomes
