01French EPS planning, motor learning and evidence of pupil progress
This section connects curriculum, instruction and evidence of learning. Match the intended concept or skill to an appropriate task and assessment. Multi-activity: short units across many activities; broad exposure, limited depth. Sport Education: seasons, persistent teams, roles such as coach, referee, and statistician, and a culminating event.

The CAPEPS history field concerns the development of physical education and its educational, scientific, social and institutional debates. Use the actual programme for the intended route and session. Historical gymnastics, hygiene, military aims, sporting cultures, scientific approaches and school learning objectives have interacted; do not describe the discipline as changing everywhere on one date for one cause. The official jury discussion of the 1967 instructions emphasizes the distinction between educational purposes and the physical and sporting activities used as means.

This independent foundation section studies the systems that move and support the body : the skeleton, joints, muscles, the cardiorespiratory system and how they respond to exercise. Learn major functions of the skeleton (support, protection, movement, blood cell production and mineral storage), the main bone groups (cranium, vertebrae, ribs, pelvis, femur, tibia, humerus, radius, ulna), and the joint types: hinge (elbow, knee), ball-and-socket (shoulder, hip), pivot (neck) and gliding (wrist bones). For muscles, know the names and actions of the major pairs: biceps and triceps at the elbow, quadriceps and hamstrings at the knee, gastrocnemius at the ankle, deltoid at the shoulder, abdominals and gluteals at the trunk. Understand antagonistic pairs : the agonist produces the intended joint action while the antagonist can oppose or help control it; co-contraction can stabilize a joint.

Physical activity includes everyday movement as well as organized sport; exercise is a planned form of activity. Health-related fitness describes particular capacities, not a complete diagnosis of a person’s health. A high performance score does not establish adequate nutrition, mental well-being or absence of disease. Body size alone is insufficient to make those judgments.
