High Performance II

Subject code: SPO140

Subject Aim

High Performance II aims to introduce sport and exercise physiology principles relevant to athletic performance using a holistic approach. The subject continues 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 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.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Identify musculoskeletal and cardiovascular anatomy.
  2. Demonstrate the requirements of exercise programs for athletes.
  3. Identify the principles of exercise and sport physiology within the compounds of athletic performance.
  4. Explain the importance of balancing nutritional requirements with healthy eating for athletic performance.
