Physical Education for Queensland Units 1 & 2 features in-depth content supported by a range of engaging media articles, case studies and practicals designed to bring Units 1 & 2 of the new QCAA Syllabus to life.
Unit 1 addresses motor learning, functional anatomy and biomechanics
Unit 2 investigates sports psychology and equity.
Physical activity is covered in both Units 1 and 2.
Physical Education for Queensland Units 1 & 2 also includes the ‘Physical Education Toolkit’, a stand-alone reference section that explains the structure of the new syllabus, supports the acquisition of key skills and provides practical tips for assessment success.
