IB SEHS B2.3: Movement Analysis Teaching Notes & Revision Guide 2026

A Helpful Resource for Teaching Movement Analysis in IB SEHS

This resource covers B2.3 Movement Analysis from the IB Diploma Programme Sports, Exercise and Health Science course. It is designed to serve two purposes: as supplemental companion notes for instructors and as structured revision material for students.

What Makes This Resource Useful for SEHS Teachers

Follows the Subject Guide Directly
The content is structured in alignment with the IB SEHS subject guide, ensuring that all required assessment statements related to movement analysis are addressed clearly and sequentially. Teachers can follow the progression from foundational biomechanics to practical assessment of human movement, ensuring complete syllabus coverage.

Helpful for New Teachers
If you are new to teaching IB SEHS, this resource provides clear and practical explanations of how to analyse human movement using biomechanical principles. It explains kinematic and kinetic concepts, motion description, force application, and how to systematically break down movement in sport and exercise contexts. Examples and diagrams support lesson delivery and student understanding.

Designed for Dual Use
This resource serves as both a reference for instructors and a revision guide for students. Teachers can use it as structured companion notes, while students can use the same material for independent review and exam preparation.

Editable PowerPoint Version Included

In addition to the printable PDF version, this resource includes an editable PowerPoint presentation that mirrors the full content. Teachers can adapt slides, insert diagrams or media, and tailor lessons for different learners. This makes the resource flexible for classroom teaching, blended learning, and digital delivery.

Content Included

• Definitions and overview of movement analysis
• Kinematic concepts: displacement, velocity, acceleration
• Kinetic concepts: forces, moments, torque
• Methods of motion description (qualitative and quantitative)
• Tools and techniques for analysing movement
• Application of biomechanical principles to sport actions
• Diagrams and models to illustrate forces and motion
• Practical sport examples and applied scenarios
• Structured summaries of key ideas
• Key terminology for assessment preparation

The resource includes clear explanations, real world sport and exercise examples, and structured summaries that connect biomechanical theory to practical analysis and performance contexts.

This is a straightforward and accessible resource for both teaching and revision; detailed enough to guide lesson delivery and balanced for students preparing confidently for IB SEHS assessments.
