This fully resourced lesson pack covers Preparation and Training for Performance as specified in AQA A-Level PE Paper 2, Section A: Exercise Physiology. Created and refined by a specialist PE teacher with 9 years’ AQA sixth-form experience.

Every slide is structured around AO1 (knowledge), AO2 (application to sport) and AO3 (analysis and evaluation), with embedded tasks, sport-specific examples and exam-style questions throughout.

WHAT’S INCLUDED (49 slides):

• Components of fitness — AQA-specified components with definitions and sport-specific application

• Warm-up and cool-down — physiological, neuromuscular and psychological rationale; AO3 evaluation of evidence
• Types of stretching — static (active and passive), dynamic, ballistic and PNF; when and why to use each; AO3 analysis of risk and effectiveness
• Aerobic training methods — continuous, Fartlek, long-interval and HIIT; work:rest ratios; application to marathon runners, footballers and boxers; AO3 evaluation of each
• Anaerobic and speed/power methods — short-interval, plyometrics (stretch-shortening cycle), contrast training (post-activation potentiation), hill sprints; sport-specific application to sprinters, volleyballers and rugby players
• Strength training — maximal strength (85–95% 1RM), hypertrophy (65–80% 1RM), muscular endurance (50–70% 1RM), explosive/power training; rep ranges, rest periods and sport-specific application
• Fitness testing — MSFT, direct VO₂max, Wingate, 30m sprint, 1RM, IMTP, sit-and-reach, goniometry; validity and reliability evaluation
• Periodisation — macrocycle, mesocycle and microcycle; GPP, SPP, competition and transition phases; off-season, pre-season and competition season framework
• Loading strategies — linear, undulating (non-linear) and block periodisation; AO3 strengths and limitations of each
• Tapering — definition, volume reduction (↓40–60%), sport-specific duration and AO3 evaluation
• Overtraining and recovery — functional vs non-functional overreaching, overtraining syndrome; recovery methods including sleep, nutrition, hydrotherapy; AO3 evaluation of ice baths
• Environmental preparation — heat acclimation (↑ plasma volume, ↑ sweat rate); altitude training (live high–train low, EPO, ↑ RBC); AO3 evaluation
• Exam practice questions at 3, 4, 6 and 8 marks, plus exit ticket

PERFECT FOR:
• Year 12 and Year 13 AQA A-Level PE lessons
