Physical Education, Health Science and Sports
Core concepts
Revise the benefits of exercise, components of fitness, warm-up and cool-down, and first aid for common injuries. Health topics include nutrition and balanced diet, hygiene, communicable and non-communicable diseases, immunization and mental health. Sports topics cover rules and terminology of major games such as football, cricket, kabaddi and athletics, plus the value of teamwork and fair play.
Traps to expect
- Confusing aerobic with anaerobic activity.
- Mixing up first-aid steps, such as applying heat to a fresh sprain.
- Choosing a nutrient role incorrectly, such as assigning energy solely to vitamins.
- Misstating player numbers or scoring terms for a game.
Rule of thumb
For first aid, remember protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation for sprains. For nutrition, link each nutrient class to one main function.
Worked example
If a player twists an ankle, the correct early response is rest, ice, compression and elevation, not massage with heat.
