This standard asks you to take a real performance improvement programme (either one you created or one someone else ran) and judge whether it actually worked. You need to explain your judgement using science-based principles (how the body works, how skills are learned) and real-world factors (cultural, financial, social, environmental) that affected the programme's success.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Examine a performance improvement programme (your own or someone else's) across a physical activity
- ·Apply biophysical principles like functional anatomy, biomechanics, skill learning, or sport psychology to analyse the programme
- ·Consider socio-cultural factors such as cultural context, economic resources, environmental conditions, or ethical considerations that influenced the programme
- ·Make clear judgements about whether the programme was effective and back them up with evidence
- ·Suggest and justify specific modifications that could improve the programme (Excellence only)
