The aim of this resource is to support learners studying the WJEC GCSE Physical Education though the use of videos, animations, and interactive tasks. The main topics covered are the structure and function of the cardio-respiratory and vascular systems and the long- and short-term effect of exercise on these systems. Each video/animation presents the information required by the GCSE curriculum and is followed by an interactive task that both assists with learning, and helps the learner to develop the necessary skills to answer exam questions.
