On Wednesday, 26 February our Year 11 & 12 students enjoyed learning and participating in various labs and activities that extended their knowledge about Human Movement, Biomechanical Analysis, training techniques, using up-to-date technology to reduce the risk of injury. 

The students loved: 

• Interacting through lots of practical activities.
• Complementing theory content with practical application.
• Year 11 – found the running analysis using the VueMotion and AI extremely interesting and helpful with identifying correct running techniques.
• Year 11 - enjoyed unpacking the Baseball Throw using the HumanTrak program and learning how to measure the range of movement was very interesting and helpful particularly to identify when an athlete can Return to play.
• Year 11 –found jumping on the force plates very interesting and learning how to analyse the jump time and height and many other aspects very useful with reducing the risk of injury.
• Year 12 - Gym work/running activities/GPS trackers/seeing data afterwards
• Good balance between theory and prac/not sitting down for too long at a time. Staying engaged throughout the day.
