2. Rationale for this Wikispace Provide links between theory and practice Encourage the use of ICT in the classroom Encourage group work and discussions Cater for students with different learning styles and needs Provide a space where students can access work, lessons and resources whenever they need

3. Objectives All of these learning activities are closely linked with the VCE PE unit course work The key knowledge and the key skills are the main focus.

4. Key Knowledge Fitness components: definitions and factors affecting the health-related fitness components, including aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, body composition, and the skill-related components, including muscular power, speed, agility, coordination, balance and reaction time. Data collection activity analysis, including skill analysis, movement patterns and work to rest ratios Assessment of fitness, including aims, protocols and methods and outcomes of at least two standardised, recognised tests for each fitness component

5. Key Knowledge continued... Fitness training principles, including intensity, duration, frequency, overload, specificity, individuality, diminishing returns, variety, maintenance and detraining Fitness training methods, including continuous, interval, fartlek, circuit, weight/resistance, flexibility, plyometrics, speed, swiss ball and core strength training to improve aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, muscular strength and endurance, speed, flexibility and muscular power Chronic adaptations of the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems to training

6. Key Skills Explain fitness assessment aims, methods, risks, safeguards, informed consent and confidentiality Use appropriate technology to perform an activity analysis to collect and analyse primary data to determine major fitness components and energy systems used in sporting events and physical activities Perform, observe, analyse and report on laboratory exercises designed to explore the assessment of fitness pre and post training Justify the selected fitness tests in relation to the strengths and weaknesses of the testing methodology

7. Key Skills continued... Explain how chronic adaptations to the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems lead to an improved performance Design, participate in, and evaluate a six-week training program that demonstrates the correct application of training principles and methods to enhance and maintain specific health-related fitness components.

8. Assessment Formal and informal assessments tasks will take place which will cover both theory and practice and will cover the areas of knowledge and skills as outlined in the VCE PE Study Design. Assessment will be both formative and summative. These will help prepare students for SACs and the Exam.
