BSEH SS Physical Education study plan

BSEH SS Physical Education · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Test and Measurement in Sports & Physiology and Injuries in Sports

  • Define and differentiate the core measurement concepts (test, measurement, evaluation, norm-referenced vs criterion-referenced) in your own words

  • Compute BMI, waist-hip ratio, and somatotype-related calculations from sample raw data without looking at a key

  • List the standard field tests for cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility, and coordination, and state what each measures

  • Label the major bones, joints, and muscle groups on a blank skeletal diagram from memory

  • Build a one-page formula and terminology sheet you will reuse all eight weeks

Your checkpoint

A completed formula/terminology sheet plus 10 self-written calculation problems solved with worked steps

Week 2

Test and Measurement in Sports & Physiology and Injuries in Sports

  • Interpret raw fitness scores against normative percentile tables and classify a sample candidate as below average, average, or above average

  • Explain the physiological responses to exercise (heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, ventilation, oxygen uptake) and how they change with intensity

  • Describe the immediate, delayed, and chronic effects of exercise on the body's systems

  • Distinguish acute injuries from chronic overuse injuries and match common sports injuries to their typical mechanisms

  • Outline first-aid and rehabilitation principles for soft-tissue injuries, including the reasoning behind each step of the acute-injury protocol

Your checkpoint

A 15-question self-test on measurement and physiology scored and error-logged, with each wrong answer rewritten correctly

Week 3

Physical Fitness, Wellness and Lifestyle & Sports and Nutrition

  • Break down physical fitness into its health-related and skill-related components and give a sport example for each

  • Explain the components of wellness and lifestyle and how they interact with physical activity

  • Classify the six major nutrient groups by function, energy contribution, and food sources

  • Calculate an individual's daily energy and macronutrient needs from body mass and activity level

  • Describe the role of water, electrolytes, and timing of intake before, during, and after exercise

Your checkpoint

A one-day personalized nutrition and activity plan with calculated energy and macronutrient totals and a short justification for each choice

Week 4

Sports and Nutrition & Training in Sports

  • Explain the concept of a balanced diet and identify the deficiencies and excesses associated with common micronutrients

  • Distinguish the types of eating disorders and the warning signs relevant to young athletes

  • Define the principles of training (overload, progression, specificity, reversibility, recovery, individuality) and apply each to a sample athlete

  • Design a periodized training cycle distinguishing macrocycle, mesocycle, and microcycle

  • Distinguish strength, endurance, speed, flexibility, and coordination training methods and the loading variables that define each

Your checkpoint

A 12-week periodized training outline for one sport with weekly load variables stated explicitly

Week 5

Children and Women in Sports & Physical Education for Differently Abled

  • Summarize the physiological and psychological considerations for children and adolescents in sport, including growth, maturation, and readiness

  • Explain menstrual dysfunction, the female athlete triad, and osteoporosis risk in athletic populations

  • Identify the causes and prevention strategies for common female-athlete concerns such as ACL injury and iron deficiency

  • Classify disabilities relevant to physical education and describe appropriate activity modifications for each

  • Describe the aims, benefits, and organizational adaptations of adapted and inclusive physical education

Your checkpoint

A written case response for two athlete profiles (one child, one athlete with a disability) recommending safe activity modifications with justification

Week 6

Planning in Sports & Biomechanics and Sports

  • Explain the types of tournaments (knockout, league, combination) and compute the number of matches, byes, and rounds for a given number of teams

  • Draft a fixture list for a small round-robin tournament and verify each team's match count

  • Describe the elements of a sports event plan: budgeting, facilities, officials, scheduling, and risk management

  • Define the mechanical principles of motion, force, leverage, and stability and identify them in a given sports skill

  • Analyze a chosen technique (for example a jump shot or a sprint start) in terms of levers, center of gravity, and projectile motion

Your checkpoint

A complete tournament plan for 9 teams including fixture list, match counts, bye calculation, and a one-page biomechanical analysis of one skill

Week 7

Psychology and Sports & Training in Sports

  • Describe the role of motivation, arousal, anxiety, and self-confidence in performance and explain the major arousal-performance theories

  • Identify the psychological techniques used to manage anxiety and build confidence, and state when each is appropriate

  • Explain the stages of skill learning and the transfer of learning between skills

  • Describe talent identification principles and the factors that predict athletic potential

  • Apply training-load monitoring and recovery concepts to explain overtraining versus adequate recovery

Your checkpoint

A psychological intervention plan for one hypothetical athlete, naming the specific techniques, the theory behind each, and how you would measure improvement

Week 8

Physical Fitness, Wellness and Lifestyle & Planning in Sports & Sports and Nutrition & Physical Education for Differently Abled & Children and Women in Sports & Test and Measurement in Sports & Physiology and Injuries in Sports & Biomechanics and Sports & Psychology and Sports & Training in Sports

  • Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and record the domain of every missed item

  • Re-teach your three weakest domains from your error log using only your own notes and the formula sheet

  • Recite from memory the key formulas, tournament calculations, and training principles without prompts

  • Review your error log from weeks 1 to 7 and confirm every previously missed concept is now answered correctly

  • Finalize a one-page condensed revision sheet you can review in the last 24 hours before the exam

Your checkpoint

Two scored mock exams with a completed error log, plus a one-page final revision sheet covering all ten domains

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 70% on the self-test for domains 6 and 7, and correctly solve all 10 calculation problems unaided

Week 4: Produce the 12-week periodized plan with all loading variables stated, and explain each training principle with a sport-specific example from memory

Week 6: Correctly calculate matches, byes, and rounds for three different team counts without notes, and deliver the full tournament plan plus biomechanical analysis

Week 8: Score at least 75% on both timed mock exams, with no domain below 60% and every error-log item re-answered correctly
