Physical Education 1.2- Anatomy, Biomechanics and Physiology

The second unit of the year was in my opinion the toughest assessment students will do in L1 PED. Students had to apply knowledge of Anatomy, Biomechanics and Physiology to a practical task. In this case, they had to apply it to a Basketball free-throw shot. They had to break it down in to 3 sections and explain what movement was being applied to the shot in that particular phase. The 3 phases were Preparation, Execution and Follow-Through. As shown below:


In the classroom, students would compare their technique with a proper free-throw shot. Then, once in a practical environment students would try and apply this knowledge to their shot, ultimately trying to improve their overall technique. Students who were engaged during theory classes and learnt how to apply biomechanical knowledge to their free-throw shot ended up with a better overall technique by the end of the term. Check out some of the students work on the left hand side bar.
