Sample cards from this deck

1. Definition

   Musculoskeletal system in movement for VCE Physical Education Unit 1

   Define Cardiac muscle

   Involuntary, striated, found only in the heart.

2. Definition

   Sociocultural influences on participation for VCE Physical Education Unit 2

   Define Adolescents

   Girls drop out at higher rates than boys. By age 15-17, female participation in organised sport is around 10 percentage points lower than male.

3. Definition

   Acute responses to exercise for VCE Physical Education Unit 3 AoS 2

   Define Heart rate (HR)

   Resting HR sits around 60 to 80 bpm in untrained adults, lower in trained endurance athletes. During exercise, HR rises rapidly toward a maximum that approximates 220 minus age (the Tanaka formula 208 minus 0.7 times age is more accurate for adults). For a 17 year old, estimated HR max sits around 196 bpm.

4. Definition

   Integrated movement experiences: VCE Physical Education Unit 4 AoS 3

   Define Biomechanics

   What mechanical principles govern the chosen activity (Newton's laws, levers, projectile motion, force application). How technique change affects performance metrics.

5. Definition

   Biomechanical principles and analysis: VCE Physical Education Unit 3 AoS 1

   Define Newton's first law (inertia)

   A body continues in its state of motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Applications: a stationary sprinter needs a large force from the blocks to overcome inertia; a falling diver continues rotating until the water stops them.

6. Definition

   Recovery strategies for VCE Physical Education Unit 4 AoS 2

   Define After a high-intensity short-duration effort

   After a high-intensity short-duration effort (a 400 m race, a 100 m swim, a HIIT session): clear blood lactate, restore creatine phosphate, normalise heart rate and breathing.

7. Definition

   Energy systems for VCE Physical Education Unit 3

   Define ATP yield

   Very rapid resynthesis but limited total capacity. Around 10 seconds of all-out work.

8. Definition

   Training methods for VCE Physical Education Unit 4 AoS 2

   Define Fitness components targeted

   Aerobic capacity (VO2 max), aerobic endurance, fat oxidation capacity.

9. Definition

   Practice methods and schedules for VCE Physical Education Unit 3 AoS 1

   Define Progressive part

   Component 1 is trained, then 1+2, then 1+2+3. Used when later components depend on the timing of earlier ones (a triple jump hop-step-jump sequence).

10. Definition

    VCE Physical Education Unit 4 - principles of training

    Define Frequency

    How often training occurs (sessions per week).
