It outlines required knowledge of the musculo-skeletal and cardio-respiratory systems, connecting body structures to health, fitness, and performance in physical activity and sport. Learners cover skeletal and muscle functions, bone and joint classifications, movement at joints, and ligament and tendon roles, alongside cardiovascular and respiratory structures and how they support effective blood circulation during exercise.","Topic Guide 1: Applied Anatomy and Physiology  \nGCSE (9-1) Physical Education  \nPearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Physical Education (1PE0)  \nPearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Physical Education (Short Course) (3PE0)  \nTopic Guide: GCSE Physical Education 2016 and 2017 – Applied Anatomy and Physiology  \nContents  \nIntroduction 1  \nContent and content changes 1  \nApplied Anatomy and Physiology: the structure and functions of the musculo-skeletal system 6  \n1.1 The skeletal and muscular systems 6  \nApplied Anatomy and Physiology: the structure and functions of the cardio-respiratory system 7  \n1.2 The cardiovascular and respiratory systems 7  \nApplied Anatomy and Physiology: anaerobic and aerobic exercise 8  \n1.3 Energy and energy sources 8  \nApplied Anatomy and Physiology: the short-term effects of  \nexercise 9  \n1.4 The short-term effects of exercise on the body systems 9  \nApplied Anatomy and Physiology: activity ideas 10  \nDeveloping statements in written responses 19  \nSample assessment questions 20  \nResources 26  \nIntroduction  \nThis topic guide gives an overview of the specification topic: Applied anatomy and physiology.
