1. Skeletal System and Joints | 骨骼系统与关节
The human skeleton has six main functions: support, protection of vital organs, movement, blood cell production, mineral storage, and giving the body shape. 人体骨骼有六大功能：支撑、保护重要器官、运动、血细胞生成、矿物质储存以及赋予身体形态。
Bones are classified into four types: long bones such as the femur and humerus for leverage and movement; short bones like the carpals for weight-bearing and fine movement; flat bones including the cranium and ribs for protection and large muscle attachment; and irregular bones such as the vertebrae for specialised shape and protection. 骨骼分为四种类型：长骨（如股骨、肱骨）用于杠杆和运动；短骨（如腕骨）支持负重和精细活动；扁骨（包括颅骨和肋骨）提供保护和大块肌肉附着；不规则骨（如脊椎骨）具有特殊形状并发挥保护作用。
Synovial joints allow free movement and are found at most major articulations. Key types include ball-and-socket (hip, shoulder), hinge (elbow, knee), pivot (neck), condyloid (wrist), saddle (thumb) and gliding (intervertebral). Common joint features are synovial fluid to lubricate, cartilage to absorb shock, ligaments to connect bone to bone, and tendons to attach muscle to bone. 滑膜关节允许自由活动，存在于大多数主要关节中。主要类型包括球窝关节（髋、肩）、屈戌关节（肘、膝）、车轴关节（颈部）、椭圆关节（腕）、鞍状关节（拇指）和平面关节（椎间）。关节的共同结构有：滑液起润滑作用，软骨吸收冲击，韧带连接骨与骨，肌腱连接肌肉与骨。
Movement terminology is essential: flexion (bending a limb), extension (straightening), abduction (moving away from midline), adduction (moving towards midline), rotation, circumduction, plantar flexion (pointing toes), and dorsiflexion (lifting toes up). 运动术语至关重要：屈曲（弯曲肢体）、伸展、外展（远离中线）、内收（靠近中线）、旋转、环转、跖屈（脚尖下压）和背屈（脚尖上翘）。
2. Muscular System and Movement Analysis | 肌肉系统与运动分析
Major muscles to identify include deltoid (shoulder), trapezius (upper back), latissimus dorsi (side of back), pectorals (chest), biceps (front of upper arm), triceps (back of upper arm), abdominals (stomach), quadriceps (front of thigh), hamstrings (back of thigh), gluteals (buttock), and gastrocnemius (calf). Muscles work in antagonistic pairs: while one muscle contracts (agonist), the opposing muscle relaxes (antagonist), e.g. during a bicep curl the biceps brachii is the agonist and triceps brachii the antagonist. 需要识别的主要肌肉包括三角肌（肩）、斜方肌（上背）、背阔肌（背侧）、胸肌（胸）、肱二头肌（上臂前侧）、肱三头肌（上臂后侧）、腹肌、股四头肌（大腿前侧）、腘绳肌（大腿后侧）、臀肌和腓肠肌（小腿）。肌肉以拮抗对的形式工作：一块肌肉收缩（主动肌），对侧肌肉放松（拮抗肌），例如在屈肘动作中，肱二头肌是主动肌，肱三头肌是拮抗肌。
The body uses three classes of lever. A first-class lever has the fulcrum between load and effort (e.g. nodding the head, with fulcrum at the atlanto-occipital joint). A second-class lever has the load between the fulcrum and effort (e.g. standing on tiptoe, with the ball of the foot as fulcrum). A third-class lever has the effort between the fulcrum and load – most common in the body (e.g. bicep curl, with the elbow as fulcrum). Third-class levers favour speed and range of movement over mechanical advantage. 人体使用三类杠杆。第一类杠杆支点在负荷与作用力之间（如点头，支点位于寰枕关节）。第二类杠杆负荷在支点与作用力之间（如提踵，支点在前脚掌）。第三类杠杆作用力在支点与负荷之间——身体中最常见（如屈肘，肘关节为支点）。第三类杠杆偏向速度和活动范围而非机械优势。
Movement is described in relation to planes and axes. The sagittal plane divides the body left-right and pairs with a transverse axis for forward and backward movements (e.g. running). The frontal plane divides the body front-back and pairs with a sagittal axis for sideways movements (e.g. cartwheel). The transverse plane divides the body top-bottom and pairs with a longitudinal axis for rotational movements (e.g. discus spin). 运动依据平面和轴来描述。矢状面将身体分为左右两部分，与横轴配合产生前后运动（如跑步）。额状面将身体分为前后，与矢状轴配合产生侧向运动（如侧手翻）。水平面将身体分为上下，与纵轴配合产生旋转运动（如铁饼旋转）。
3. Cardiovascular System and Respiratory System | 心血管系统与呼吸系统
The heart has four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and left ventricle. Blood flows through the heart in a double circulatory system. Deoxygenated blood returns to the right atrium, passes to the right ventricle, then to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. Oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium, moves to the left ventricle, and is pumped to the body through the aorta. 心脏有四个腔室：右心房、右心室、左心房和左心室。血液通过双循环系统流经心脏。脱氧血返回右心房，进入右心室，再经肺动脉去往肺部。氧合血返回左心房，进入左心室，通过主动脉泵送到全身。
Blood vessels include arteries (thick muscular walls, carry blood away from the heart at high pressure), veins (thinner walls, contain valves, return blood to the heart), and capillaries (one-cell-thick walls allowing gaseous exchange). Blood transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones and waste products. 血管包括动脉（厚肌肉壁，将高压血液带离心脏）、静脉（壁较薄，含瓣膜，将血液导回心脏）和毛细血管（单细胞厚度壁，进行气体交换）。血液运输氧气、二氧化碳、营养物质、激素和废物。
Cardiac output (Q) = Stroke volume × Heart rate
During exercise, heart rate and stroke volume increase, raising cardiac output to deliver more oxygen to working muscles. During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and flattens, intercostal muscles pull the ribcage up and out, increasing lung volume and drawing air in. Expiration at rest is passive; during exercise it becomes active as intercostal muscles and abdominals push air out. Lung volumes included: tidal volume (air per breath), vital capacity (max exhaled after max inhale), and minute ventilation = tidal volume × breathing rate. 运动时，心率和每搏输出量增加，提升心输出量为工作肌肉输送更多氧气。吸气时，膈肌收缩变平，肋间肌将肋骨上提外扩，增加肺容积把空气吸入。安静时呼气是被动的；运动时变为主动，因肋间肌和腹肌将空气压出。肺容量包括：潮气量（每次呼吸空气量）、肺活量（最大吸气后最大呼出量），以及每分通气量=潮气量×呼吸频率。
Gaseous exchange occurs at the alveoli (in lungs): oxygen diffuses into the blood, carbon dioxide diffuses out. At the muscle site the reverse happens, supplying oxygen for respiration. 气体交换在肺泡进行：氧气弥散入血，二氧化碳弥散排出。在肌肉处发生相反过程，为呼吸供氧。
4. Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise | 有氧与无氧运动
Aerobic exercise uses oxygen to release energy. The word equation for aerobic respiration is: 有氧运动使用氧气释放能量。有氧呼吸的文字方程式是：
glucose + oxygen → energy + carbon dioxide + water
This form of energy production occurs during prolonged, lower-intensity activities (e.g. marathon running). Anaerobic exercise releases energy without oxygen and produces lactic acid as a by-product, leading to muscle fatigue. The anaerobic equation is: 这种能量产生形式发生在长时间低强度活动中（如马拉松跑）。无氧运动在无氧状态下释放能量，产生乳酸作为副产品，导致肌肉疲劳。无氧方程式是：
glucose → energy + lactic acid
Anaerobic respiration supplies short bursts of high-intensity activity (e.g. sprinting, weightlifting). EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) refers to the additional oxygen intake after exercise to repay oxygen debt and remove lactic acid. 无氧呼吸为短时间高强度活动（如冲刺、举重）提供能量。EPOC（运动后过量氧耗）指运动后额外摄入氧气以偿还氧债并清除乳酸。
Long-term adaptations of regular training include: increased stroke volume, lower resting heart rate, cardiac hypertrophy, improved lung volumes, increased capillary density, stronger bones, muscle hypertrophy, and improved tolerance to lactic acid. 规律训练的长期适应包括：每搏输出量增加、安静心率降低、心肌肥大、肺容量提高、毛细血管密度增加、骨骼更强健、肌肉肥大以及对乳酸的耐受性提高。
5. Components of Fitness | 体能要素
Health-related fitness components underpin daily life and sport. They are: cardiovascular endurance (ability of heart and lungs to sustain activity), muscular endurance (repeated contractions without fatigue), muscular strength (max force a muscle can exert), flexibility (range of motion at a joint), and body composition (proportion of fat to lean mass). 健康相关体能要素是日常和运动的基础，包括：心血管耐力（心脏和肺维持活动的能力）、肌肉耐力（无疲劳重复收缩的能力）、肌肉力量（肌肉能产生的最大力量）、柔韧性（关节活动范围）和身体成分（脂肪与瘦体重的比例）。
Skill-related fitness components are more specific to performance: agility (change direction quickly), balance (maintain centre of mass), coordination (smooth movement of body parts), reaction time (time between stimulus and response), speed (move body quickly), and power (strength × speed). Each sport demands a different mixture; for example, a sprinter needs speed and power, a gymnast needs balance and coordination. 技能相关体能要素更侧重于表现：敏捷（快速改变方向）、平衡（保持身体重心）、协调性（身体各部位流畅配合）、反应时（从刺激到反应的时间）、速度（快速移动身体）和爆发力（力量×速度）。每项运动需要不同的组合；例如短跑需要速度和爆发力，体操需要平衡和协调。
6. Principles and Types of Training | 训练原则与方法
The principles of training can be remembered by the acronym SPORT: Specificity (training relevant to the activity), Progression (gradually increasing demands), Overload (pushing beyond normal limits), Reversibility (fitness lost when training stops), and Tedium (keeping training varied to avoid boredom). Overload is applied using the FITT principle: Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type. 训练原则可用缩写 SPORT 记忆：专项性（训练与活动相关）、渐进性（逐步增加负荷）、超负荷（超出平常限度）、可逆性（停止训练后体能下降）和单调性（保持训练多样化避免乏味）。超负荷通过 FITT 原则应用：频率、强度、时间和类型。
Common training methods: circuit training (various stations to develop multiple fitness components), continuous training (steady, moderate intensity over time for cardiovascular endurance), interval training (periods of high-intensity work followed by rest, includes HIIT), fartlek training (varied pace, mixed terrain), weight training (resistance exercises for strength and power), plyometric training (explosive movements to develop power), and flexibility training (static, ballistic, PNF stretching). A warm-up and cool-down should always be included to prepare the body and aid recovery. 常见训练方法：循环训练（多个站点发展多种体能要素）、持续训练（稳定中等强度持续进行以提高心血管耐力）、间歇训练（高强度运动与休息交替，包含 HIIT）、法特莱克训练（变速、混合地形）、负重训练（抗阻练习发展力量和爆发力）、快速伸缩复合训练（爆发性动作发展爆发力）和柔韧性训练（静态拉伸、弹震拉伸、PNF 拉伸）。热身和整理活动应始终包括在内，以让身体做好准备并促进恢复。
Injury prevention strategies include wearing appropriate protective equipment, following rules, avoiding overtraining, ensuring correct technique, and conducting risk assessments. The use of performance-enhancing drugs is banned and poses ethical and health risks. 伤病预防策略包括穿戴合适的防护设备、遵守规则、避免过度训练、保证正确技术以及进行风险评估。使用兴奋剂是被禁止的，并带来伦理和健康风险。
7. Sports Psychology | 运动心理学
Skills can be classified along continua: open–closed (affected by environment), gross–fine (large or precise movements), self-paced–externally-paced, discrete–serial–continuous, and simple–complex. Understanding skill classification helps coaches design appropriate practice. 技能可按连续体分类：开放—封闭（受环境影响程度）、粗大—精细（大肌肉群或精细动作）、自我节奏—外部节奏、分立—序列—连续，以及简单—复杂。理解技能分类有助于教练设计合适的练习。
Goal setting uses SMART targets: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Recorded, and Time-bound. These improve motivation and performance. The information processing model includes input from senses, decision-making, output as movement, and feedback that can influence future performance. 目标设定采用 SMART 目标：具体的、可衡量的、可实现的、有记录的、有时间限制的。这些能够提高动机和表现。信息加工模型包括感官输入、决策、动作输出以及可影响未来表现的反馈。
Guidance can be visual (demonstration), verbal (explanation), manual (physical support), or mechanical (using aids). Feedback is intrinsic (from within, e.g. kinaesthetic feeling) or extrinsic (from coach, video). It can also be concurrent (during) or terminal (after performance). Mental preparation techniques control arousal: according to the inverted-U theory, optimal performance occurs at moderate arousal. High arousal may help gross skills but harm fine skills; techniques such as deep breathing and imagery help manage arousal. 指导形式可以是视觉（示范）、口头（讲解）、手法（身体支持）或机械（辅助设备）。反馈可以是内在的（本体感觉）或外在的（来自教练、视频），也可以是同步的（运动中）或终末的（运动后）。心理准备技巧用于控制唤醒水平：根据倒 U 形理论，中等唤醒水平表现最佳。高唤醒可能有助于粗大技能但损害精细技能；深呼吸和表象等技术有助于管理唤醒。
8. Socio-cultural Influences and Commercialisation | 社会文化影响与商业化
Participation in sport is affected by social groups: gender, age, ethnicity, disability, and socio-economic status. For example, ethnic minority groups may face barriers due to discrimination or cultural norms, while lower-income groups may lack access to facilities or equipment. Strategies to increase participation include targeted campaigns, funding, and role models. 运动参与受社会群体影响：性别、年龄、种族、残疾和社会经济地位。例如，少数族裔群体可能因歧视或文化习俗面临障碍，而低收入群体可能缺乏设施或器材。提高参与的策略包括针对性活动、资金支持和榜样作用。
The ‘golden triangle’ of sport, media and business has led to increased commercialisation. Sponsorship provides income but can influence scheduling and player behaviour. Media coverage widens audiences but can pressure athletes. Technology in sport ranges from performance-enhancing equipment (swimsuits, bike components) to officiating tools (Hawk-Eye, VAR). While these can improve fairness, they may also create inequalities if inaccessible to all. 体育、媒体和商业的“金三角”导致商业化加剧。赞助带来收入但可能影响赛程安排和运动员行为。媒体报道扩大了观众群体但也给运动员带来压力。体育科技从提高表现装备（泳衣、自行车部件）到裁判工具（鹰眼、VAR），虽然能促进公平，但如果无法面向所有人则可能造成不平等。
Ethical issues include sportsmanship (fair play), gamesmanship (bending rules without cheating), and deviance (cheating through doping or match-fixing). Candidates must understand the consequences of unethical behaviour on the sport and performer. 伦理问题包括体育精神（公平竞争）、竞技技巧（不打不破规则的取巧行为）和越轨行为（通过兴奋剂或假赛作弊）。考生必须理解不道德行为对运动和运动员的后果。
9. Health, Fitness and Well-being | 健康、体能与幸福
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, while fitness is the ability to meet the demands of the environment. A sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, poor posture, and mental health issues such as low self-esteem. 健康是身体、心理和社会幸福的完整状态，而体能是满足环境需求的能力。久坐不动的生活方式会增加肥胖、2 型糖尿病、心血管疾病、高血压、体态不良以及自卑等心理健康问题的风险。
Energy is measured in calories (kcal). Energy balance is the relationship between energy intake (food/drink) and energy expenditure (basal metabolic rate + physical activity). Diet must supply the right macronutrients: carbohydrates (main energy source), fats (energy storage, insulation), and proteins (muscle repair and growth). Micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are needed in small amounts, along with fibre for digestion and water for hydration. 能量以卡路里（千卡）衡量。能量平衡是能量摄入（饮食）与能量消耗（基础代谢率+体力活动）之间的关系。饮食必须提供适当宏量营养素：碳水化合物（主要能量来源）、脂肪（能量储存、保温）和蛋白质（肌肉修复和生长）。微量营养素（维生素和矿物质）需求量小，此外还需要纤维助消化和水补水。
Specific nutritional strategies include carbohydrate loading for endurance events and maintaining hydration before, during and after exercise. A balanced diet tailored to the performer’s needs supports health, fitness and peak performance. 特定的营养策略包括耐力项目的碳水化合物负荷，以及运动前、中、后保持水分。根据运动者需要调整的均衡饮食可促进健康、体能和最佳表现。
10. Data and Analysis | 数据分析
In both papers, data analysis questions test your ability to interpret quantitative data (numerical) and qualitative data (descriptive). You might be presented with graphs, tables or fitness test results and asked to identify trends, patterns or anomalies. For example, a graph showing heart rate before, during and after exercise would be analysed to describe the rise, plateau and recovery. 两张试卷中，数据分析题测试你解读定量数据（数值）和定性数据（描述性）的能力。你可能需要分析图表、表格或体能测试结果，识别趋势、模式或异常值。例如，一张展示运动前、中、后心率的图表需要分析上升、平稳和恢复。
Fitness testing data must be evaluated for reliability (consistency of results) and validity (does the test measure what it claims?). Use of control groups, sample sizes and averages helps ensure robust conclusions. Always link data interpretation back to theoretical concepts – for instance, an increase in minute ventilation during exercise shows the respiratory system’s response to increased oxygen demand. 体能测试数据必须评估其信度（结果一致性）和效度（测试能否测量所声称的指标）。使用对照组、样本量和平均值有助于确保结论可靠。始终将数据解释与理论概念联系起来——例如运动期间每分通气量增加显示呼吸系统对氧气需求增加的响应。
