Physical Education


This course is designed to introduce students to the key biophysical and socio-cultural concepts of physical education. These include anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, interpersonal skills, risk and safety management, and societal influences on physical activity. Students will learn through both theoretical and physical contexts, including outdoor education based activities (snorkelling/surfing and mountain biking). This course is ideal for students who are passionate about sport and physical activity. Physical Education is a university approved subject. Further study in Level 3 PED allows students to develop the possibility of tertiary study in sport and sport science related subjects.
