Description
Welcoming and user-friendly, Oxford's BTEC Tech Award in Sport, Activity and Fitness offers a student-focused approach to this brand new qualification. Written by experienced BTEC teachers, it has been carefully designed to support teachers in delivering a new course, and to help learners achieve their full potential. The book features a vibrant, clean layout, and is packed with stunning photographs to ensure the content is accessible and engaging. It offers comprehensive coverage of the specification, exploring the knowledge and understanding of relevant key skills and issues. These include body systems, sporting injuries, and the impact of technological developments on sport and activity; training, nutrition, and the impact of motivation, self-confidence and anxiety on sport and activity; and the fundamentals of sports leadership, and planning, leading and reviewing a sports activity session. Practical activities are designed to encourage learners to fully grasp the content and to successfully apply it in their assignments and assessment. We will be seeking endorsement from BTEC.

Reviews
"The strengths of this Student Book include the colourful and clear layout, and the range of activities which are varied to support students and encourage their progress to higher levels. The inclusion of annotated examples of students' work is particularly useful." * Linda McCullough, Harwich and Dovercourt High School *
"A superb resource ... I think the worksheets are absolutely perfect and fully support the lessons and Student Book. The structure functions in a way that means a teacher can simply pick these up and start teaching right away, while more creative teachers still have the flexibility they need too." * Darren Richards, St. Hild's, Hartlepool *
