Unit 1 – A&P
Unit 2 – The physiology of Fitness

2. Unit 1
P3 - Identify the location of the major muscles in the human body
Labelled diagram & muscles table
P4 - Describe the function of the muscular system and the different fibre types
Basic muscle rules
How do muscles generate movement
Characteristics of muscles
Types of muscles
Agonist/anatagonist/synergist/fixator
Types of contractions
Types of fibres & sports related

3. Unit 1 – M1, D1
M1 - Explain the function of the muscular system and the different fibre types
Explain = give more detail, make clear, give a reason why
D1 - Analyse the function of the muscular system and the different fibre types
Analyse = examine critically, interpret, study the relationship

4. Unit 2 – P1, M1
P1 – Describe the musculoskeletal & energy systems response to acute exercise.
M1 – Explain the response of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular & respiratory systems response to acute exercise.
Increased blood supply;
