Subject Aim
Elite athlete development requires the use of complex, well planned training systems developed by exercise professionals. High Performance I explores the skills and knowledge required by coaches, sports trainers and physical development staff to provide guidance to athletes on a range of theoretical and applied learning experiences.
The subject provides the education required to utilise, monitor and reflect on an athlete’s own physical development system and to develop strength and conditioning for sporting performance.
Through the use of sports technology systems and their own athlete journals, students will regularly submit and analyse data relating to training loads, training quality, wellness, injury, recovery and movement screening. These diary entries and self-reflections, inclusive of goal setting and physical performance testing, allow the student to become responsible for monitoring their own physical performance and progress, and assist and instruct others.
