Biophysical Principles of Training
Achievement Standard Physical Education 91329: Demonstrate understanding of the application of biophysical prinicples to training for physical activity.
Resource reference: Physical Education 2.3A
Resource title: Train to Gain
Credits: 4
This assessment activity requires you to write a report in which you will evaluate how and why biophysical principles are applied to training. You will support your explanation with examples from your own experience.
You will take part in training sessions during practical lessons to help increase your understanding. These prior learning activities will be assessed only through your report, though your teacher may require you to hand in the documentation as supporting evidence.
You will be assessed on the depth and comprehensiveness of your understanding, including an understanding of the interrelationship between the principles, and on how well you justify your explanations and evaluations with evidence from your own experience.
