Course description

The IB DP course in sports; exercise and health science standard level (SL) involves the study of the science that underpins physical performance. The course incorporates the traditional disciplines of anatomy and physiology; biomechanics; psychology and nutrition. Students cover a range of topics and carry out practical (experimental) investigations in both laboratory and field settings. This provides an opportunity to acquire the knowledge and understanding necessary to apply scientific principles and critically analyse human performance. Where relevant; the course will address issues of international dimensions and ethics by considering sport; exercise and health relative to the individual in a global context.
