Yes. HL delves deeper into physiological, biomechanical, and psychological mechanisms, including additional topics and requiring a higher level of analysis compared to SL.
A strong Biology foundation is the biggest advantage. Basic knowledge of Chemistry (metabolism) and Physics (mechanics) is also very helpful for certain topics.
It requires basic Math skills for data analysis, interpreting graphs, and applying some simple biomechanical formulas. Advanced Math is not required.
The IA is a report on an experiment designed and conducted independently by the student, usually involving measuring and analyzing the physiological or biomechanical responses of the body to a specific physical activity.
Intertu helps systematize interdisciplinary knowledge, clarify complex physiological and biomechanical mechanisms, train data analysis skills, and provide detailed guidance on the IA process according to IB standards.
Yes, Intertu provides trial classes. The tuition fee depends on the hour package and the level of support service chosen. Please contact Intertu for detailed consultation.
