22.01.2022 PE AT HTLC HTLC continues to be very fortunate to be permitted to have senior students onsite for assessments that cant be performed remotely. As a part of their introduction to the Cardiovascular System, Year 11 PE students performed a heart dissection with a specific focus on following the pathway of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. They were also able to experiment taking each others blood pressure. ... They were very fortunate prior to remote learning to have a visit from Sports Medicine Australia Sports Trainer educator Ian Clough. Also a long time local trainer himself, Ian shared his experience and taught students some strapping techniques, providing them with packs of equipment to practice as part of their studies of the Musculoskeletal System injury prevention and management.

22.01.2022 SPORT SCIENCE Year 10 Sport Science students have been analysing the acute responses to exercise that they recorded via a series of fitness tests that were completed prior to remote learning. Using GPS and heart rate monitor data, as well as observations, they have been able to compare results against norms and analyse what energy systems contribute to each test. ... Some very interesting data was observed, especially for the 1.6km walk testas students strived to keep up with the big striding Oliver Sykes, their heart rates soared! (The GPS actually only recorded him walking 3% of the time he was that quick with his walking technique!) They are now revisiting training methods they learnt about earlier in the year, completing their own sessions of them at home and analysing this data. Great work Year 10s!
