Is PDHPE a lot like Science (Bio?) (1 Viewer)

[Year10er]

I absolutely hate Biology/the Human Body. I chose PE as one of my subjects next year, do you think I will struggle in it?

Thanks.

You have to know all the names of the muscles... Not that hard though.

PDHPE is a theory subject. It does overlap with parts of bio. What interests your about PDHPE?

PDHPE hardly resembles biology. You only really have to know some of the muscles and even then they're not that relevant to the HSC course.

physiological adaptations, muscles and bones basically all

PDHPE only overlaps slightly with Bio during Prelim, and even then it's just the names of muscles and bones, which don't apply to the actual HSC at all.
Funnily enough, PDHPE overlaps A LOT with Biochemistry of movement (an elective in Chemistry!), with the energy systems and whatnot.
Technically, PDHPE is a branch of science, but not as hardcore as Chemistry, Physics, or Biology. It's considered a social science, which I suppose means it's not AS difficult as the aforementioned sciences.

But yes, it is like other sciences in some aspects, Chemistry in particular. That being said, I find it a highly enjoyable subject and if you can get past the muscles/bones, you should be okay. It's a good subject.

I hope that cleared some things up for you! C:
