VCE+Physical+Education+Unit+2

**Unit 2: The active body** This unit introduces the students to an understanding of physical activity, including the relationships between body systems and physical activity, the place of physical activity in contributing to well being in students’ own lives as well as within the wider community, and the classification of physical activity in terms of type and experience. Such knowledge is important to student understanding and is best delivered through a variety of practical activities. The students will look at a range of factors that influence performance in physical activity. It is recognised that regular participation in physical activity is important for the health of individuals and the community. Students will investigate how the patterns of physical activity vary across the lifespan, including the physical, social and emotional benefits of participation in physical activity. A theoretical model, the Stages of Change, will be used to understand engagement with physical activity.
