EDHPE1004 Understanding Movement in Health and Physical Education
This unit introduces students to the biophysical foundations of movement in health and physical education. Students will explore the sub-disciplines of anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, and motor learning to provide an understanding of the principles on which movement is based in preparation to teach movement education experiences. Students will build an understanding of the relationships between the body systems and physical activity, sport, and exercise and identify how the capacity and functioning of each system acts as an enabler or barrier to movement. The unit will examine and apply an interdisciplinary perspective to teaching about movement and will provide opportunities for students to develop pedagogical approaches and practices to effectively teach, organise and facilitate educational movement experiences.
