Year 12 Latrobe University Excursion

Last Thursday, our Year 12 Physical Education students made the trip to Latrobe University, in Bundoora, to participate in some sessions of laboratory fitness testing. Here, they had the opportunity to participate in a range of tests including the VO2 Astrand-Rhyming cycle ergometer test, 30-second Wingate test, 3RM dynamic squat test, countermovement jumps and timed light gates. These practical sessions complemented the Unit 4 PE content that the students have been studying in class in recent weeks – Training to improve performance. It was fantastic to see our students pushing themselves as they gave their all to achieve the best results that they could whilst also transferring the theory learnt, in their PE classes, into action.
