This unit explores anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics as elements of the biophysical foundations of physical activity and health. Students examine the structure and function of the human body and apply this knowledge to a variety of situations related to physical activity and exercise. They explore biomechanical principles and how these can be applied to understand locomotion and sports techniques. They also investigate the positive contribution of physical activity and sport to health. The unit draws on content from the NSW PDHPE Stage 4, 5 & 6 syllabuses and develops knowledge and skills to analyse movement and interpret physical activity data to foster numeracy.
