DP Sports, Exercise, and Health Science

DP Sports, Exercise and Health Science (SEHS) is one of the IB Diploma Programme's Group 4 subjects, covering exercise physiology, biomechanics, sports psychology, and motor learning through scientific inquiry and practical investigation. This collection brings together textbooks, study guides, and resource books from leading IB publishers, including Oxford University Press, Pearson Education, Hachette Learning, Biozone, and IB Source, covering both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL).

The new DP SEHS syllabus has first teaching from August 2024 and first assessment in May 2026. The updated course is structured around three core themes — exercise physiology and nutrition, biomechanics, and sports psychology and motor learning — with option topics removed and their content integrated into the core syllabus. Assessment now includes two external exams (Papers 1A, 1B, and 2) alongside a revised internal assessment. This collection includes titles fully updated for the new syllabus, so schools and students can be confident they're using current, exam-relevant resources.
