Information Processing in GCSE PE

The main focus of the Information Processing topic in the WJEC Eduqas GCSE PE syllabus is to understand how the human body receives, processes, and responds to information during physical activity.

The purpose of studying Information Processing in GCSE PE is to develop an understanding of the physiological and psychological factors that influence performance and to apply this knowledge to improve performance in physical activities.
