OVERVIEW When playing sport or taking part in some form of exercise have you ever wondered What makes my body systems work together to make me perform effectively in different conditions? How does my body generate movement during sport and exercise to enable me to make the correct decisions? or How does managing my thoughts during sport and exercise impact on the way that I perform? Sport and Exercise Science plays an important role in today’s society, benefitting those who take part at recreational and elite level sport and fitness. Taking part in the course will help learners develop the knowledge, understanding and skills that underpin the Sport and Exercise Science sector in a variety of contrasting areas. BTEC Sport and Exercise Science is more relatable to sports studies at higher education than the BTEC Sport qualification as you will study topics featured on degree courses including Functional Anatomy, Sport and Exercise Psychology, Coaching for Performance, and Fitness and Biomechanics.
