Human+Body+Project

The human body project s designed to build upon any BTEC First knowledge from the Anatomy & Physiology unit. In this project we will be looking at assessment criteria across two main units: Unit 1: Anatomy & Physiology of Sport and Unit 2: Physiology of Fitness

The human body is an amazing piece of machinery it allows sports performers to participate in a huge range of sporting activities. There are a number of body systems that work together to enable the machine to function at peak performance. to understand how these levels of performance are achievable it is important to understand the human body and its responses to exercise.

The project is broken down into two main sections that will take roughly a half term to complete.

The first half term will focus on the skeletal, muscular and energy systems.

The second half term will focus on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Within your work we will look at the structure and function of each of these areas of the body and how they respond to exercise.
