1 Beauchamp College Year 11/12 - A- Level Transition Work A level Physical Education

2 Course Introduction Overview You will have 5 theory lessons per week and be taught by 3 or 4 different members of staff. If you do the full A Level you will sit two exams at the end of the course in year 13. You will also be practically assessed in one activity and complete a verbal analysis of performance in an activity of your choice. This does not have to be the same activity you are practically assessed in. (See following page for diagram). Theory sections 1. Applied Anatomy and Physiology, Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics. 2. Skill Acquisition and Sports Psychology. 3. Sport and Society and Contemporary Issues in Physical Activity and Sport. Expectations Excellent attendance, punctuality and behaviour. or meet with a member of staff and catch up on missed work if you miss a lesson, prior to the next lesson. Ensure all class notes and homework tasks are well presented and organised. Meet all deadlines. Bring all required materials to lessons, including work, stationary, calculators etc. Be practically active on a regular basis within/ out of school in your chosen practical activity. Keep a physical activity log of your involvement in your chosen activity. Attend all practical moderation sessions for your chosen activity. These may be during or after school. Text book We strongly recommend you purchase the following OCR text books to support your learning: OCR PE for A Level year 1 John Honeybourne and Sarah Powell ISBN: OCR PE for A Level year 2 John Honeybourne and Sarah Powell ISBN:

4 Section 1: Anatomy and physiology Task 1: The muscular system Use research methods to identify the names of the muscles on the picture below. Take care to ensure correct spelling. Please LEARN the names of the bones and muscles for a test in week one. Notice that the labels d, f, k and l are for a group of muscles, rather than an individual muscle. The name of the muscle group has been given and you need to find the names of the individual muscles. The number of individual muscles is given in brackets. a b c d e f g h k l m n j i o p a. b. c. d. Quadriceps (4) e. f. g. Deltoids (3) h. i. j. k. l. Gluteals (3) m. Hamstrings (3) n. o. p.

5 Task 2: The skeletal system Use research methods to identify the names of each bone on the list below. Please LEARN the bones for a test in week one. The skeleton is made up of the axial skeleton (cranium, vertebral column, ribs and sternum) and the appendicular skeleton (bones in the shoulders, hips, arms, legs, hands and feet) b a e a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. m. n. o. p. q. r. s. t. i j c g h u d t s q n o p r f k m l The vertebrae is made up of 5 different sections. Use research methods to identify the names of the individual sections.

6 Section 2: Skill Acquisition There are 6 different skill continua that are used to classify skills within physical activity. Use the text book or other research methods to describe the characteristics of each continua and give practical examples for each one. 1. Difficulty: Simple-complex continuum Simple skills Complex skills 2. Environmental influences: The open-closed skills continuum Open skills Closed skills 3. Pacing: The pacing continuum Self paced skills Externally paced skills

7 4. Muscular involvement: The gross-fine skills continuum Gross motor skills Fine motor skills 5. Continuity: The discrete serial continuous skills continuum Discrete skills Serial skills Continuous skills 6. Organisation: High organisation low organisation continuum High organisation skills Low organisation skills

8 Section 3: Sport and Society Research task: Emergence and Evolution of Modern Sport. Use a variety of research methods to find out the origins of Tennis, Football, Athletics and Cricket. Try to find key dates and information and bullet point your findings in the spaces below. Tennis Football
