Grade 10 Physical Education & Health
A quarter of real science and real history, from Jerry Morris’s London bus conductors and the desert marches of the 1940s to Arthur Lydiard’s Auckland runners and Izumi Tabata’s twenty-second intervals, each one worked through with real numbers and then put to the test in the student’s own training.
