St Brendan’s Sixth Form College – Sport Transition Task
In order to give you an introduction to BTEC Level 3 Sport and prepare you for the best possible start we would like you to complete the following tasks. This work will become the foundation of your first few weeks of study and will ease the transition between school subjects and college subjects. The details are as shown below:
Subject: The Skeletal System: This is an introduction to the first topic within Unit 1: Anatomy & Physiology and will underpin knowledge required for the exam.
Task 1 Glossary: Knowing the key terms associated with the skeletal system will enable you to understand how it works & what impact it has on performance. It will also help you understand the skeleton and this will help with the exam. Please complete the table below:

Task 2: a) On the diagram below, label the following major bones:
cranium, clavicle, ribs, sternum, humerus, radius, ulna, scapula, ilium, pubis, ischium, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges, vertebral column
Task 2 Resource Use: Successfully labelling a diagram is a key part of learning in BTEC Sport. Please label the diagram using the information below.
Task 2 Resource Use: Analysing and interpreting resources is a key part of learning in
Geography. Please read the following article and answer the questions that are below it.
b) On the diagram above you must identify each bones as being either: (you may place a number next to each bone or colour code them)
1. Long Bone 2. Short Bone 3. Flat Bone 4. Sesamoid Bone
Task 3- Synovial Joints. You will have to do some of your own research to complete this
task. Once completed, fill in the table below. You must research the following:
The 6 types of synovial joints (anatomical names) Their location in the body (where are they?) The bones that meet at the joint
What type of movement they allow you to complete (e.g. flexion/rotation) Give an example of a sporting activity where you would use each type of synovial joint, e.g. hinge joint allows you to complete a bicep curl (flexion & extension)
Task 3- Synovial Joints-complete the table below based on your research
Name of Location in The bones that What type of Example of a Synovial the Body form the joint movement do they sporting activity Joint allow? where you would use this type of joint

Task 4- Challenge
Please think about the following and be prepared to come to your lessons ready to answer: What are the functions of the skeleton? How does each function help to improve sporting performance? Give a sporting example for each function.
In what format should the task be submitted?
Handwritten on A4 / A3 paper with the photo attached.
Make sure that you check spellings and grammar. Try to use as much terminology as you know and write your name on your work.
What if I need further help? Please do not be concerned if you are unable to answer all questions or have queries you would like answered.
