Easy High 40's for P.E. Possible?

[vexx]

Hi.

My schools trying to force me to do P.E. and getting me to drop bio which is horrible (due to them saying i cannot miss a class per week even though i could easily catch up on my own. growl), but they were trying to convince me a high 40's score is definitely possible.. is this true? as someone got 50 the other year who was quite good at bio/psych.

like i dont really understand the subject 'style' since i only do science/maths subjects and apparently they(vcaa) are trying to make PE more sciencey. but, if i do the work, make notes and quite a few practice exams, will that guide me towards high 40's?
or is there special tips and tricks?

thanksssss (i just want to do well ha)

vexx.

It'd help if you had some sort of athletic interest. I like the fact that I can apply some of the stuff I learn to training. It means I can revise while im training.
Read through your textbook...

that's what someone said when i was considering it on another thread way back!
ahh, apparently it just helps to have athletic interest but not required. i've done some sports of course and she was explaining some of the reasons why i'd need to know about that, and everything she was talking about made sense in the amount of sport i've already done.

i dont have a textbook but i flicked through the teachers for a few minutes, nothing seemed difficult, some parts were rather tedious looking with dry theory i'll still do the work / won't slack though.

hey vexx, its not too bad dont worry. i found biol more interesting, but p.e. is fun and easy - no guaranteed 50 (i knew the course back to front and got 49) but you should do well if you work a little more than you think you need to. dont fall into the trap of doing nothing! send any ailing p.e. students my way, it'd be great fun tutoring p.e. lol

thanks for that.
well i would be ecstatic with a 49 haha that's very good:)
how much work did you do across the year and then for the exam?
any other tips? or is it basically just memorising/knowing it all then practice?

PE is a fun and easy subject if you compare it to the maths and sciences'
I think you should do it

Highly Agree, it's equivalent to a very easy science, and has some aspects (mainly AoS 1) on the Health related side. Other than that, if your into physiological aspects of sport, then this is definately your subject

awesome guys thanks.
it doesn't appear that hard either
i quite like the content of area of study 2 in unit 3, sounds interesting. the rest is a little 'meh' but it's nothing too bad.

Definately agree, our class just covered chapter one, and will be moving on to chapter two next week. Can't wait till we get into the types of energy systems, or Food fuels, you know the interesting stuff

our class just finished chapter one too:) i'm a little behind though because i didn't do the holiday homework nor 1/2, so i'll catch up this weekend. it just seems like most of pe is just all memorising things.. (and some data analysis)... which is pretty good haha!
yeah exactly that'll be good- can't wait to get past this dry topic of 'promotion of physical activity.'

Yeah true, personally didn't find NPAG's all that entertaining either, just a matter of memorising a crap load of figures really. 'In 1999-2000 studys were shown at 57% of people engaged in sufficient physical activity, showing a decrease in participation from the 62% who engaged during 1997'... blah blah blah

yeah we have to go through these and summarise them this weekend. looks annoying.
i found someone's notes and all they had for the trends that we need to know are


Trends in PA

-   Higher in summer than winter
-   Higher in boys
-   Higher education = more PA
-   1999 the most active subgroup was 18-29 yr olds
-   1999 the last active subgroup was 45-59 yr olds
-   Large decline in 1999

is this not enough?

Looks fairly descent, to ensure top marks, I have memorised all details, from the adults, adolescent and childhood participation rates which include;

Adult;
- 1999-2000 clinical studies showed that 57% of the Austrlaian population were engaging in sufficient physical activity, which was a decrease from the 62% which participated in 1997 (Like I said above)
- Through these findings this also found that there was an increase in inactivity raising from 13% to 15% from 1997 to 1999-2000
- The most active subgroup were aged between 18-29
- The least active subgroup were aged between 45-59, with roughly 50% being sufficiently active
- Studies also showed that men (60%) were more active than women (54%), although men had the biggest decline during this period

Adolescents;
- It was found that 23% of adolescent teenagers didn’t participate in physical activity
- From the proportion that did participate, 51% of them were involved in moderate-intensity physical activity
- Adequate participation was defined as 3.5 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity over 5 sessions in a week.
- Vigorous - intensity was defined as 3 sessions a week for 20 minutes
- It was found that boys and girls are more active in summer months - This could be due to school holidays, and the enjoyment of being in the sun
- It was found that having a higher education lead to a higher participation in sport

Children;
- During 2003, 1.6 million participated in organised sport outside of school hours, with boys having a larger participation rate than girls
- 5-6 yr olds would average 4 hours a day of physical activity
- 10-12 yr olds would average 2 hours a day of physical activity
- 25% of 10-12 yr olds participated in 40 minutes of vigorous activity a day, with the least active group managing less than 10 minutes per day

We've started off pretty slowly only half-way through chapter 1. We did AoS1 for homework though. The first 3 chapters are pretty boring but it does get better.

The trends are logical so that doesnt take much effort to remember. The specific data for frequency, intensity, type, duration, for each of the groups (children & youth, adults, obese, overweight children) is a little harder to remember but ive got a picture of the table in my head somehow.

Keep telling yourself that this area of study is the most interesting thing you will ever do, think positive, and the info will be more likely to stick.

We should make a thread where we share the key knowledge of each AoS (A thread for each AoS). Adding to it is another way of revising and it will be a good resource for revision later on in the year.

I dont think this is how it works, with the dot points youve listed regarding percentages. On SACs' and exams' graphs are more likely to be provided and from there we'll need to analyse the data.
