What CCEA AS Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry covers, and what it leaves out
CCEA AS Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry is the first year of the 7210 course and a qualification in its own right, examined in 2 units, AS 1 and AS 2. This page holds only what the AS examines: 12 topics across 61 subtopics, 922 active recall questions, starting with Components of Fitness, Training Methods and Fitness Testing. The 12 topics kept back for the second year are not shown, so nothing here is content you have not been taught yet.
Starting the second year? The full CCEA A-Level Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry page adds the A2 topics on top of everything here.

Spaced Repetition Schedule
How reviews are timed
Levo will automatically distribute all of your progress into a spaced repetition calendar. Once you’ve answered, it’s scheduled for you on the next day in the spaced repetition schedule. Over time, the gaps between your recall get bigger, from a day to three years, reinforcing memorisation over a long period of time.

Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry revision questions
Common questions about revising CCEA AS-Level Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry. Tap any to open it.
What is on CCEA AS Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry?
12 topics across 61 subtopics, examined in AS 1 and AS 2. They are all listed on this page, and each one opens to the subtopics inside it. The full topic list is Components of Fitness, Training Methods, Fitness Testing, Fitness Programmes and Exercise Sessions, Safety and Risk Assessment in Training, The Active Leisure Industry and more.
Does AS Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry count towards the full A level?
Yes. In Northern Ireland the AS units are marked as a standalone AS qualification and also carry forward into the full CCEA A level, which is why the first year matters more here than it does in England. Check the current weighting on the 7210 specification, as it is set by the board rather than by us.
What is the difference between AS and A level Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry?
AS is the first-year units only. The A level adds 12 further topics, among them Components of the Leisure Industry, Planning an Active Leisure Event, Teamwork and Running an Event, and expects you to connect them back to the AS material. Work the AS content here, then move up to the full A level page when you start the second year.
When do you sit CCEA AS Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry?
Normally at the end of Year 12, in the summer series. That gives you one year to memorise 922 questions' worth of material, which is roughly 5 questions a day across an academic year if you start in September.
How should you revise for AS Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry?
By retrieval, not rereading. Cover the answer, pull it from memory, then check. Levo runs that loop across all 12 AS topics and brings each question back on a spaced schedule, so what you learn in September is still there in June.
Is it worth revising AS content again for the A level?
Yes, and it is the mistake most students make. The second-year papers assume the first year, and in Northern Ireland the AS marks usually count towards the final grade as well. Keeping the AS material on a spaced schedule through Year 13 costs far less time than relearning it.
How many questions are there for CCEA AS Sports Science and the Active Leisure Industry?
922, written from the 7210 subject content and grouped into 61 subtopics so you can work one small area at a time rather than a whole topic at once.
Can you use Levo for just the AS year?
Yes. Pick your subject, choose the AS topics on the topic screen, and every mode — the 3-step method, Cram, Blank Blitz, Build It and Test It — works only that material. Add the second-year topics when you get to them.
