Describe the role of the muscular and skeletal systems

Recognise the relationship between skeletal muscles and bones and how they work together to produce movement

Demonstrate how biomechanics can improve performance and prevent injury

Investigate and practise how to manipulate the force, speed, accuracy and trajectory of an object using equipment in sporting movements

Refine and adapt fundamental and specialised movement skills to predictable and dynamic situations

Participate in target, net and court, striking and fielding, and territory games to investigate how to adapt movement skills and strategies to solve problems in gameplay

Select and transfer similar movement skills and strategies to different movement environments

Apply and evaluate a range of attacking and defending strategies to enhance individual and team performance in gameplay

Examine and demonstrate how communication and movement concepts can assist with anticipation, decision-making and the manipulation of space and time

Analyse and practise how connections between communication, skill execution, movement concepts, teamwork, strategy and involvement can improve outcomes in gameplay

Create and perform a rhythmic movement sequence using the elements of space, time and dynamics

Collaborate with peers to create and perform a group movement sequence in response to a piece of music or other stimuli

Design and apply performance criteria to evaluate the quality and use of space, time and dynamics

Analyse data based on knowledge of performance and knowledge of results and apply this feedback to refine movement skills and strategies

Provide and apply feedback to refine specialised movement skills, concepts and strategies

Apply and evaluate attitudes and behaviours that encourage enjoyable, ethical, respectful and inclusive movement experiences

Evaluate how personal strengths and contributions can enhance teamwork, leadership and enjoyable participation

Examine and apply strategies to increase resilience, persistence and motivation for themselves and others, including positive self-talk and encouragement

Apply and refine communication, problem-solving and decision-making skills to dynamic movement situations

Demonstrate leadership and collaboration skills and evaluate how they promote successful outcomes in team environments

Adopt a range of roles and responsibilities that support and enhance the facilitation of an organised physical activity event

Participate in activities where players, rather than an independent official, are responsible for officiating and examine the personal skills and attributes that are required to make this a successful experience
