1. The Skeletal System | 骨骼系统

The skeletal system serves five crucial functions: support (holding the body upright), protection (e.g., the skull shields the brain, the ribcage guards the heart and lungs), movement (bones act as levers and anchor points for muscles), mineral storage (calcium and phosphorus are stored and released when needed), and blood cell production (bone marrow generates red and white blood cells).

骨骼系统有五大关键功能：支撑（保持身体直立）、保护（例如颅骨保护大脑、胸廓保护心肺）、运动（骨骼作为杠杆并为肌肉提供附着点）、矿物质储存（储存并适时释放钙与磷）以及血细胞生成（骨髓制造红细胞与白细胞）。

The major bones you must identify include the cranium, clavicle, scapula, sternum, ribs, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges (arms and hands), pelvis, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges (legs and feet). Moveable joints are mainly synovial joints; the hinge joint (e.g., knee, elbow) allows flexion and extension, while the ball-and-socket joint (e.g., shoulder, hip) permits flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation and circumduction.

你必须能辨认的主要骨骼包括颅骨、锁骨、肩胛骨、胸骨、肋骨、肱骨、桡骨、尺骨、腕骨、掌骨、指骨、骨盆、股骨、髌骨、胫骨、腓骨、跗骨、跖骨和趾骨。可动关节多为滑膜关节；铰链关节（如膝关节、肘关节）可做屈伸运动，球窝关节（如肩关节、髋关节）可完成屈、伸、外展、内收、旋转和环绕运动。

Key movement terms at joints: flexion (decreasing joint angle), extension (increasing angle), abduction (away from midline), adduction (towards midline), rotation (turning around an axis), circumduction (circular motion), plantar flexion (pointing toes down) and dorsiflexion (lifting toes up). These often appear in movement analysis questions.

关键的关节运动术语：屈（减小关节角度）、伸（增大角度）、外展（远离身体中线）、内收（靠近中线）、旋转（绕轴转动）、环绕（圆圈运动）、跖屈（脚尖下压）和背屈（脚尖上翘）。这些词常出现在动作分析考题中。

2. The Muscular System | 肌肉系统

There are three muscle types: smooth (involuntary, found in hollow organs), cardiac (involuntary, heart only, never tires) and skeletal (voluntary, attached to bones, striated, used for sport and movement). For the exam you must name and locate key skeletal muscles: deltoid, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, biceps, triceps, abdominals, quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteals, gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior.

肌肉分为三种类型：平滑肌（不随意肌，存在于中空器官）、心肌（不随意肌，仅存于心脏，不知疲倦）和骨骼肌（随意肌，附着于骨骼，呈横纹状，用于运动）。考试要求能说出并定位主要骨骼肌：三角肌、胸大肌、背阔肌、肱二头肌、肱三头肌、腹肌、股四头肌、腘绳肌、臀肌、腓肠肌和胫骨前肌。

Muscles work in antagonistic pairs across a joint. For example, the biceps and triceps act together at the elbow: when the biceps contracts (agonist) to flex the arm, the triceps relaxes (antagonist). The roles reverse during extension. Other key pairs include quadriceps/hamstrings (knee) and gastrocnemius/tibialis anterior (ankle).

肌肉以拮抗对的形式跨关节工作。例如，肱二头肌与肱三头肌在肘关节协同：屈臂时肱二头肌收缩（主动肌），肱三头肌放松（拮抗肌）；伸臂时角色互换。其他重要拮抗对包括股四头肌与腘绳肌（膝关节）、腓肠肌与胫骨前肌（踝关节）。

Types of muscle contraction include isotonic (concentric – muscle shortens; eccentric – muscle lengthens under tension) and isometric (muscle length stays the same while tension is generated, e.g., plank hold).

肌肉收缩类型有：等张收缩（向心收缩——肌肉缩短；离心收缩——肌肉在张力下伸长）和等长收缩（肌肉长度不变但产生张力，如平板支撑）。

3. The Cardiovascular System | 心脏血管系统

The heart has four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium → right ventricle → pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. Oxygenated blood returns via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium → left ventricle → pumped to the body via the aorta. Valves prevent backflow.

心脏有四个腔室：右心房、右心室、左心房、左心室。缺氧血进入右心房→右心室→经肺动脉泵入肺部。含氧血经肺静脉返回左心房→左心室→经主动脉泵至全身。瓣膜防止血液倒流。

Three types of blood vessels: arteries (thick, elastic walls, carry blood away from heart at high pressure), veins (thinner walls, valves, carry blood back to heart at low pressure), capillaries (one-cell-thick walls, allow gas and nutrient exchange).

三种血管：动脉（管壁厚而有弹性，将血液在高压下送离心房）、静脉（壁较薄，有瓣膜，将血液在低压下送回心脏）、毛细血管（仅单层细胞厚，利于气体与营养物质交换）。

Heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (Q) are linked by the equation:

Q = HR × SV

During exercise, HR and SV increase to raise cardiac output and deliver more oxygen to working muscles. Resting heart rate is typically 60–80 bpm; maximum heart rate can be estimated as:

Max HR ≈ 220 − age

心率（HR）、每搏输出量（SV）和心输出量（Q）的关系式为：Q = 心率 × 每搏输出量。运动时，心率和每搏量升高，使心输出量增加，为工作肌肉输送更多氧气。静息心率通常为60–80次/分钟；最大心率可估算为：最大心率 ≈ 220 − 年龄。

4. The Respiratory System | 呼吸系统

Air passes through the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and finally reaches alveoli – tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen diffuses from alveoli into capillaries, while carbon dioxide diffuses from blood into alveoli to be exhaled. This happens because of concentration gradients.

空气经过气管、支气管、细支气管，最终抵达肺泡——气体交换的微小气囊。氧气由肺泡扩散入毛细血管，二氧化碳自血液扩散入肺泡被呼出。这一过程依赖于浓度梯度。

Key lung volumes: tidal volume (normal breath at rest), inspiratory reserve volume (extra air inhaled after a normal breath), expiratory reserve volume (extra air forcefully exhaled), residual volume (air left in lungs to prevent collapse). Vital capacity is the maximum air you can exhale after a full inhalation.

重要的肺容积包括：潮气量（静息时正常呼吸气量）、补吸气量（正常吸气后额外吸入的气量）、补呼气量（用力额外呼出的气量）、残气量（防止肺萎陷的余气）。肺活量是充分吸气后尽力呼出的最大气量。

During exercise, tidal volume and breathing rate increase (minute ventilation = tidal volume × breathing rate). The diaphragm and intercostal muscles work harder to create larger pressure changes and draw in more oxygen.

运动时，潮气量和呼吸频率增加（每分通气量 = 潮气量 × 呼吸频率）。膈肌和肋间肌更剧烈地收缩，产生更大的压力变化，吸入更多氧气。

5. Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise | 有氧与无氧运动

Aerobic exercise uses oxygen to break down glucose, producing energy, carbon dioxide and water. It occurs during lower‑intensity, longer‑duration activities like marathon running, cycling or steady swimming. The equation is:

Glucose + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + Energy

有氧运动使用氧气分解葡萄糖，产生能量、二氧化碳和水。它发生在低强度、长时间的运动中，如马拉松、骑行或匀速游泳。方程式为：葡萄糖 + 氧气 → 二氧化碳 + 水 + 能量。

Anaerobic exercise does not require oxygen; glucose is broken down into energy and lactic acid (in animals). This energy pathway fuels high‑intensity, short‑burst activities such as sprinting, weightlifting or jumping. The simplified equation:

Glucose → Energy + Lactic Acid

无氧运动不需要氧气；葡萄糖分解为能量和乳酸（动物体内）。该供能途径用于高强度、短时间爆发活动，例如短跑、举重或跳跃。简述方程为：葡萄糖 → 能量 + 乳酸。

Lactic acid accumulation can cause muscle fatigue and pain. Excess post‑exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) helps remove lactic acid and restore the body to resting state. Athletes need to recover appropriately between anaerobic efforts.

乳酸堆积会导致肌肉疲劳与酸痛。运动后过量氧耗（EPOC）有助清除乳酸并使身体恢复平静状态。运动员在无氧运动间需要充分恢复。

6. Levers and Planes of Movement | 杠杆与运动平面

Levers consist of a fulcrum (pivot, the joint), load (resistance, weight of body part plus any equipment) and effort (force provided by muscle). The body uses three classes of lever:

First class lever: fulcrum in the middle, e.g., the neck joint when heading a football.
Second class lever: load in the middle, e.g., standing on tiptoes (calf raising the body at the ankle).
Third class lever: effort in the middle, e.g., a bicep curl – the most common lever in the body.

杠杆由支点（枢纽，即关节）、负荷（阻力，身体环节重量加任何器材）和力（肌肉提供的拉力）组成。人体使用三类杠杆：第一类杠杆支点居中，如头球时颈部关节；第二类杠杆负荷居中，如提踵时踝关节提起身躯；第三类杠杆力点居中，如肱二头肌弯举——身体中最常见的杠杆形式。

Planes and axes are often tested together. The sagittal plane divides left and right; movements like running take place here, paired with the transverse axis. The frontal plane divides front and back; a cartwheel or lateral raise uses this plane, partnered with the sagittal axis. The transverse plane divides top and bottom; a discus spin rotates around a longitudinal axis.

平面与轴常联合考查。矢状面将身体分为左右部分，奔跑等动作发生在此平面，对应横轴；额状面将身体分为前后部分，侧手翻或侧平举使用此平面，对应矢状轴；横切面将身体分为上下部分，铁饼旋转绕纵轴完成。

7. Principles of Training | 训练原则

Training must follow the SPORT and FITT principles. Specificity: training matches the demands of the sport. Progression: gradually increasing intensity. Overload: working harder than the body is used to. Reversibility: fitness levels drop when you stop training. Tedium: variety prevents boredom. The FITT components describe Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type of exercise used to apply overload.

训练必须遵循SPORT与FITT原则。专项性：训练吻合运动项目需求；渐进性：逐步提升强度；超负荷：施加超过身体习惯的负荷；可逆性：停训导致体能水平下降；趣味性：多样性防止厌倦。FITT指用训练频率、强度、时间和类型来实施超负荷。

Common training methods: continuous training (steady, moderate-intensity aerobic work, e.g., jogging), interval training (bursts of high intensity followed by rest), fartlek training (speed play – varied intensity over natural terrain), circuit training (series of stations targeting different fitness components), weight training (resistance exercises for strength/power/endurance) and plyometrics (explosive jumping/drills).

常见训练方法：持续训练法（稳定中等强度的有氧运动，如慢跑）、间歇训练法（高强度短时间与休息交替）、法特莱克训练（天然地形上变速跑）、循环训练法（针对不同体能要素的站次轮换）、负重训练法（抗阻力练习，发展力量/爆发力/耐力）以及超等长训练（爆发性跳跃训练）。

A warm‑up should include a pulse raiser, stretching and sport‑specific drills to prepare physically and mentally, reduce injury risk and improve performance. A cool‑down involves light exercise and stretching to gradually lower heart rate, disperse lactic acid and aid recovery.

热身应包括提升心率的运动、拉伸和专项练习，以在身心上做好准备，降低受伤风险，提升表现。放松活动包含低强度运动与拉伸，使心率逐渐降低，消散乳酸并促进恢复。

8. Components of Fitness | 体能的组成部分

Health‑related components: cardiovascular endurance (ability of heart/lungs to supply oxygen), muscular strength (max force a muscle can exert), muscular endurance (sustained repeated contractions), flexibility (range of motion around a joint), and body composition (percentage of fat, muscle, bone).

健康相关体能要素：心血管耐力（心脏与肺脏供氧能力）、肌肉力量（肌肉产生最大力量）、肌肉耐力（肌肉持续反复收缩的能力）、柔韧性（关节活动范围）和身体成分（脂肪、肌肉和骨骼的百分比）。

Skill‑related components: agility (change direction quickly), balance (maintain centre of mass), coordination (smoothly combining movements), reaction time (time to respond to a stimulus), speed (move body parts quickly), and power (strength × speed – explosive strength).

技能相关体能要素：灵敏性（迅速改变方向）、平衡性（保持身体重心稳定）、协调性（顺畅组合动作）、反应时（对刺激做出反应的时间）、速度（快速移动身体环节）以及爆发力（力量 × 速度，即爆发性力量）。

Different sports demand different fitness profiles. A sprinter requires high speed and power, while a cross‑country runner needs excellent cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance.

不同运动对体能的要求不同。短跑运动员需要出色的速度和爆发力，而越野跑运动员则需要极佳的心血管耐力和肌肉耐力。

9. Sports Psychology: Skill and Information Processing | 运动心理学：技能分类与信息处理

Skills can be classified along several continua. Open skills are affected by environment, changing conditions and external pace (e.g., a football pass in a match); closed skills are self‑paced and consistent (e.g., a free throw). Skills also vary from fine (small muscles, precision, e.g., dart throwing) to gross (large muscles, big movements, e.g., tackling).

技能可按多种标准分类。开放性技能受环境、变化条件和外部节奏影响（如比赛中的足球传球）；闭锁性技能由自己控制节奏且环境稳定（如罚球）。技能还可从精细技能（小肌肉群，高精准，如投飞镖）到粗大技能（大肌肉群，大幅度动作，如阻挡抢断）进行区分。

Information processing models help explain how performers make decisions. The basic model: Input (information from senses – sight, sound, touch) → Decision making (brain processes input, selects response) → Output (nerve impulses to muscles, action performed) → Feedback (knowledge of results and performance, used to refine future attempts).

信息处理模型有助于解释运动员如何做决定。基本模型为：输入（来自视觉、听觉、触觉等感官的信息）→ 决策（大脑处理输入，选择反应）→ 输出（神经冲动传至肌肉，执行动作）→ 反馈（对结果和表现的认识，用于改进下一次尝试）。

Arousal (mental and physical alertness) affects performance according to the inverted‑U theory. There is an optimal arousal level for each skill; too little leads to underperformance, too much causes anxiety and impairing fine skills. Complex, fine skills require lower arousal, while gross, explosive skills benefit from higher arousal.

唤醒水平（心理与身体的警觉状态）根据倒U形假说影响表现。每项技能都有其最佳唤醒水平；过低导致表现欠佳，过高则引发焦虑并损害精细技能。复杂的精细技能需要较低唤醒水平，而粗大、爆发性技能则受益于较高唤醒水平。

10. Nutrition and Hydration | 营养与补水

A balanced diet provides macronutrients and micronutrients. Carbohydrates (primary energy source, stored as glycogen in muscles and liver), proteins (growth and repair of tissues) and fats (slow‑release energy, insulation, cell membranes) are macronutrients. Vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) are needed in smaller amounts for various body processes, e.g., calcium for strong bones, iron for haemoglobin.

平衡膳食提供宏量营养素与微量营养素。碳水化合物（首要能量来源，以糖原形式储存于肌肉和肝脏）、蛋白质（组织生长与修复）和脂肪（慢释放能量、保温隔热、细胞膜组成）是宏量营养素。维生素与矿物质（微量营养素）需求量较少，但参与多种生理过程，如钙有助于强健骨骼，铁是血红蛋白的组成成分。

The recommended diet for athletes is often high in carbohydrate (to fuel training), moderate in protein and lower in fat. Carbo‑loading before endurance events can maximise glycogen stores. Post‑exercise, a combination of protein and carbohydrate aids recovery.

运动员的推荐饮食通常为高碳水化合物（为训练供能）、适量蛋白质和较低脂肪。耐力赛事前的糖原负荷法可最大化糖原储备。运动后，摄入蛋白质与碳水化合物的组合有助恢复。

Hydration is crucial; even slight dehydration impairs performance and concentration. Water regulates body temperature, transports nutrients and removes waste. Isotonic drinks replace fluids, electrolytes and carbohydrates during prolonged exercise.

补水至关重要；轻微脱水也会损害表现与注意力。水调节体温、运输营养并排除废物。长时间运动中，等渗饮料可以补充水分、电解质和碳水化合物。

11. Health, Fitness and Well-being | 健康、体能与幸福

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well‑being. Fitness is the ability to meet the demands of the environment. Well‑being combines how people feel and function. Physical activity brings physical benefits (improved cardiovascular fitness, stronger muscles, reduced risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes) as well as mental benefits (stress reduction, improved self‑esteem, better sleep).

健康是一种身体、心理和社交完全安好的状态；体能是满足环境需求的能力；幸福则是人们感受和功能的综合体现。身体活动带来身体受益（改善心血管健康、增强肌肉、降低肥胖和2型糖尿病风险）以及心理受益（缓解压力、提升自尊、改善睡眠）。

A sedentary lifestyle (inactivity) is linked to health risks including obesity, cardiovascular disease, poor posture, diabetes and poor mental health. Recognizing this, public health guidelines recommend young people engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate‑to‑vigorous physical activity daily.

久坐生活方式（缺乏活动）与肥胖、心血管疾病、姿态不良、糖尿病及心理健康不佳等健康风险相关。出于对上述风险的认知，公共卫生指南建议青少年每天至少进行60分钟的中等到高强度身体活动。

Energy balance: if energy intake (calories consumed) exceeds energy expenditure, weight gain occurs; if expenditure exceeds intake, weight loss occurs. Balancing the two maintains a stable weight.

能量平衡：若能量摄入（卡路里）超过能量消耗，就会增重；若消耗大于摄入，则减重。二者平衡则维持稳定体重。

12. Data Analysis in PE | 体育中的数据解析

You may be asked to interpret graphs, bar charts, scatter plots and tables showing performance data. Always check axis labels, units and the trends. A positive correlation shows as X increases, Y increases; negative correlation shows as X increases, Y decreases.

考试可能涉及解读展示运动数据的折线图、条形图、散点图和表格。务必查看轴标签、单位和趋势。正相关指X增加时Y增加；负相关指X增加时Y减少。

Basic calculations include averages (mean, median, mode), percentages and percentage change. For example, to calculate percentage increase in heart rate:

Percentage change = (Final − Initial) ÷ Initial × 100

基础计算包括平均数（均值、中位数、众数）、百分比和百分比变化。例如计算心率增加的百分比：百分比变化 = （最终值 − 初始值）÷ 初始值 × 100。

Be able to evaluate training programmes by comparing pre‑ and post‑test fitness scores. Link data to principles of training: if an athlete’s 12‑minute run distance improves, their cardiovascular endurance has increased – evidence of overload and progression working effectively.

要能够通过比较训练前后的体能测试分数来评价训练计划。将数据与训练原则联系：若运动员12分钟跑距离增加，则其心血管耐力有所提升——这证明超负荷与渐进性原则已生效。
