In Physical Education ākonga consider factors affecting physical performances and work towards promoting physical activity in their communities. Ākonga can engage in a variety of physical activities as well as explore the body systems, training programmes and how to improve performances for themselves and others. Physical Education can be studied at tertiary level as a science or humanities subject. It leads to a wide variety of careers in tourism, sports science, community and health sectors.
This course follows on from Physical Education - NCEA Level 1 (PHE1000) and is useful and often essential for ākonga intending to continue with Level 3 Physical Education courses.
The Physical Education topics include biophysical principles, practical performances, influences of a training programme, and examining the impact of a sport on society.
