High School Block:

Physical Education 10

Physical Education 10 provides learners with introductory skills and concepts in the areas of sport and recreation leadership, outdoor education, kinesiology, and fitness.

Skills developed through sport and recreation leadership benefit learners by improving communication, problem-solving, and decision-making. By engaging with the basics of leadership through sport and recreation, learners will understand the interrelationships among physical education, society, and the environment, and can become better equipped for future leadership roles.

Outdoor education promotes an appreciation for nature and the environment while also providing opportunities for experiential learning and physical activity. Through outdoor education activities, learners will develop skills such as navigation, survival, and teamwork.

Physical Education 10 also introduces kinesiology: the study of human movement. This area of study helps learners understand the mechanics of the human body and how to optimize movement to improve physical performance. By gaining an understanding of kinesiology, learners can develop healthy habits and techniques that will help them reduce the risk of injury and improve their overall physical fitness.

Through Physical Education 10, learners will explore different types of functional movement, resistance programs and create a resistance program to improve personal fitness.

Successful completion of Physical Education 10 will prepare learners for courses such as Outdoor Education, and Sport and Recreation Leadership.
