For example

• in hockey you need to learn how to stop and hit the ball effectively;

• in an exercise class you need to show determination to finish the class

• In 800m you save a sprint finish for the last 150 metres to pass the person in front of you and to possibly gain a new PB.

using physical competence and knowledge and understanding of physical activity to produce effective outcomes when participating in physical activity

For example

• if you are in the school netball team then you would probably be able to run fast over a short distance and change direction well.

exploring and experimenting with techniques, tactics and compositional ideas to produce efficient and effective outcomes

For Example:

• you might try different techniques in long jump

• You might try to compose a different gymnastics routine with different skills to create variety and to experiment with new ideas and techniques
