Cambridge National Qualification in Sport Science

This qualification allows students to understand and apply the principles of sport science, develop learning and practical skills that can be applied to real life contexts. The course consists of three components.

Component 1: They will understand how to reduce the risk of sport injuries and how to deal with common medical conditions. This is assessed by an exam

Component 2: Students will learn to apply the principles of training and the components of fitness to a fitness training programme and evaluate the success of the programme. This work is assessed through a set assignment brief

Component 3 Students study the body’s response to physical activity and how technology informs this. This is completed through the study of how both the cardio-respiratory and musculo- skeletal systems provide you with the energy and movements needed to keep you exercising and in turn how exercise helps develop both systems.
