• develop an appreciation of physical education in a wide range of contexts;
• develop theoretical knowledge and understanding of health and performance to evaluate and improve these in physical activities and sports;
• understand how the physiological and psychological state affects health and performance in physical activities and sports;
• perform efficiently, effectively and consistently in different physical activities and sports by developing their physical fitness, skills and techniques;
• select and use strategies, tactics and/or compositional ideas;

• develop knowledge and understanding of the active leisure industry and how it contributes to developing good health and outstanding physical performance; and
