On Wednesday 14 May, our Year 12 Physical Education students had the valuable opportunity to participate in an incursion with METS Performance Consulting. Students Charlotte, Hanna, Ariella, and Sarah were among those who had the unique opportunity to participate in advanced fitness testing and procedures, typically seen at an elite level. This included a VO₂ max bike test (which measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during exercise while cycling) and a 30-second Wingate test (a cycling test used to assess anaerobic power and capacity).
The activities sparked engaging discussions, directly linking the collected data to core concepts covered in Unit 3, Area of Study 2 (AOS 2). These topics included acute responses, energy systems, fatigue, and recovery. Overall, it was an incredibly informative and stimulating experience for our Year 12 Physical Education students, providing direct relevance to their upcoming SAC.
