A regional sporting organisation has identified a significant disparity in participation rates between children from low socioeconomic backgrounds and those from more affluent areas. They believe that differences in fundamental motor skill (FMS) development during early childhood contribute to this issue. The organisation is developing a new program aimed at improving FMS in disadvantaged communities.
a. Analyse how limited opportunities for structured and unstructured play in early childhood can impact the development of fundamental motor skills (FMS) and subsequent participation in physical activity for children from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

This unit introduces students to principles used to analyse human movement from a biophysical perspective. Students use a variety of tools and coaching techniques to analyse movement skills and apply biomechanical and skill-acquisition principles to improve and refine movement in physical activity, sport and exercise. They use practical activities to demonstrate how correctly applying these principles can lead to improved performance outcomes. Students consider the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems and the roles of each in supplying oxygen and energy to the working muscles. They investigate the characteristics and interplay of the three energy systems for performance during physical activity, sport and exercise. Students explore the causes of fatigue and consider different strategies used to postpone fatigue and promote recovery.
In this area of study, students examine the biomechanical and skill-acquisition principles that can be applied when analysing and improving movement skills for participation and performance. Through practical activities, students explore and analyse their own movement and use coaching to investigate factors that influence skill acquisition. They develop an understanding of how appropriately applying biomechanical and skill-acquisition principles leads to the development of optimal movement patterns to enhance participation and performance.
