The critical question “What is the relationship between physical fitness, training and movement efficiency?” is the second critical question for Preliminary PDHPE. What is the relationship between physical fitness, training and movement efficiency? covers all the components of fitness, arobic and anaerobic training as well as the immediate physiological responses to training.
Much of this content should be familiar to you as it is touched upon in Stage 5 PDHPE and if you did PASS you would have done it in detail if your teacher chose to look at it. You should make sure that you learn this section very well, as it will tie into your HSC PDHPE modules Factors Affecting Performance and Improving Performance.
It is important to remember the critical question What is the relationship between physical fitness, training and movement efficiency? as you progress through this content because it guides your application of the content. You need to make sure you can link physical fitness, training, and movement efficiency together. You will do a similar thing in Factors Affecting Performance when you tie together training, physiological adaptations and improved performance. I recommend you create a mind-map when you finish to clearly show these connections and how movement becomes more efficient with fitness, which is developed through training.
