Summary of Content Suggested Preparation for September
Unit 1: Applied anatomy & physiology (exam) The BTEC course requires you to have the basic
anatomy and sports physiology knowledge and skills
learnt in your GCSE course. It is a good idea to read
over your PE and Biology GCSE notes to ensure
you understand the basic principles of anatomy and
physiology before you start.
Learners explore how the skeletal, muscular,
cardiovascular and respiratory systems function and the
fundamentals of the energy systems.
Unit 2: Fitness Training & Programming for Health,
Sport & Well-being (exam)
Learners explore client screening and lifestyle
assessment, fitness training methods and fitness
programming to support improvements in a client’s
health and well-being.
Unit 3: Professional Development in the Sports Industry
Learners explore the knowledge and skills required for
different career pathways in the sports industry. Learners
will take part in, and reflect on, a personal skills audit,
career action plan and practical interview assessment
activities.
Focus on the topics listed below.
• Anatomical names and bones and muscles
• Agonist and antagonist muscles and the different
types of muscle contractions
• Respiratory system – lung volumes

Reading about sport and developing an interest in
the wider subject is all part of becoming an advanced
level student.
