VCE PE Questions.

(1/1)

InNeedForHelp:
I'm not sure if I want to pick PE or Psych so I have a couple of questions..

What will I mainly be learning in VCE PE? The main areas?

What sort of pracs will I have to do? I've heard that you need to do a 6 week fitness program and some coaching thing that's really putting me off VCE PE..

How big is the workload compared to other subjects?

lokzo:
First of all, 3/4 PE is very different to units 1/2.

In 3/4, you will be studying these main areas:
   Assessing  physical activity & sedentary behaviour
   Physical activity and the social-ecological model
   Promoting physical activity
   Acute responses to exercise
   Foods, fuels and energy systems
   Fatigue mechanisms and recovery strategies
   Fitness components used in sports
   Data collection & activity analysis
   Assessment of fitness
   Fitness training methods & principles
   Chronic training adaptations
   Performance enhancement – physiological, psychological dietary & other considerations
   Legal & Illegal performance enhancement
   Anti-doping codes & practices


It's actually not a subject where you can just rote learn things, you actually need to understand what/how/why things happen.

The 6 week training program is time consuming, although, not every school does this, and that is where you have an advantage over them in the exam ;)

Personally, I've found the subject one that you can learn things and apply it easily to a sport that you play in your life.
