Haven't done PDHPE in over two years but I'll have a try anyway. The vertical jump test assesses power - a combination of speed and strength to produce a single, explosive movement. The sit and reach test assesses flexibility - the range of motion of muscles. The beep test assesses...

If my memory serves me well, these are the principle ethical teachings of Christianity: - 10 Commandments - The Beatitudes - Jesus' Commandment of Love In general, these teachings provide Christians with ethical guidance on how to live a morally responsible life. You should make reference to...
