Prior learning

Students have participated in a variety of physical activities and discussed the effects of these on health and parts of the body such as lungs, heart and muscles. They can identify the physical activities that contribute to the various components of fitness (eg flexibility, strength, endurance). Students have researched some health issues linked to physical inactivity (eg heart disease, obesity and diabetes). They have kept a physical activity journal and can identify some short-term and long-term benefits of participation in regular physical activity.
