METS Performance Consulting Incursion

As part of the Unit 3 & 4 Physical Education, Vermont Secondary College students had the opportunity to attend an incursion from METS Performance Consulting on Wednesday 15th May. METS Performance Consulting is a Melbourne-based company, which offers a specialised service to VCE PE students in Victoria. The incursion included a live demonstration of a VO2 max/lactate test and wingate anaerobic capacity test. This experience was valuable for students’ understanding of Unit 3, area of study 2 “How does the body produce energy”.

Students were able to apply their theoretical understating of acute cardiorespiratory responses to exercise while demonstrating their knowledge of energy system interplay through each physical test conducted. Congratulations to our two student volunteers who completed the VO2 max & 30 second Wingate Test, Finn and Nathan!

Thanks to all students for attending this valuable session, we hope this provides practical examples of the key knowledge and Skills we have covered in our classes!
