Module Indicative Content
This unit develops the study of the most relevant human body systems for sport studies learners, and the main approach is concerned with relating structure to function. The inter-relationship between systems is stressed, and learners are encouraged to view the human organism as an integrated whole. Learners also develop an understanding of the principles of homeostatic control. Learners are required to prepare for and undertake an in class test, and complete an analysis of the roles of the muscular and skeletal systems during specific sporting activities.
