Improving health and wellbeing through exercise and physical activity is increasingly important in today’s sedentary world. This program aims to introduce students to methods used in exercise science to assess health status, provide basic exercise delivery, and understand the beneficial effect on human physiology. The program also introduces students to key skill areas in exercise and sport science including biomechanics, exercise physiology, basic data analysis, and technology in sport. It is a pathway to university study in the field of exercise and sports science at The University of Notre Dame, Australia and develops the necessary tertiary skills to succeed.

An introductory sports course designed by industry professionals. You’ll cover topics in health and exercise related to human bodies and wellbeing. Build key skills in sports science, including using data and technology for better outcomes.

Nutrition for Exercise and Performance

This course addresses how physical activity affects health status and the risks associated with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, arthritis, and mental illness. Students will examine the physiological processes of common chronic conditions and how physical activity/exercise may need to be adapted to ensure that it can be completed safely in these populations. Students will also learn about behaviour change strategies for optimising lifelong adherence to physical activity/exercise.

Chronic Disease and Exercise Management

Exercise and Healthy Living investigates how physical activity and health lifestyle choices are important across the lifespan focusing particularly on strategies used to prolong physical activity involvement as we age. Current health statistics are examined, which for varying groups of Australians can influence the implications and promotion of health strategies in the community. Successful health promotion initiatives encouraging healthy lifestyles are explored as are partnerships within community groups, government and non-government sectors in this area.

Exercise and Healthy Living

This subject will enable students to learn how to write an individualised exercise program to meet those needs. Students will be shown the fundamentals of exercise prescription and delivery to provide a basic program for healthy individuals. Concepts of progression and program modification will be identified.

Fundamentals of Exercise Programming

This subject will enable students to develop knowledge of the battery of anthropometric and physical tests available for human performance assessment, as well as performing health risk screening and appraisal techniques specific to exercise programmes for healthy individuals. These include measures of strength, endurance, sub maximal and maximal fitness testing and athlete profiling. Students will be able to identify which assessments are required for individuals with different exercise goals in the promotion of health and fitness.

Health and Exercise Performance Testing

Modern technology is now commonplace in exercise and sport providing valuable information regarding performance to sports scientists and coaching professionals. To collect, analyse, identify, and effectively disseminate data gained from available technology is a highly desirable skill. Students who possess data analytics skills have an advantage in today’s world where the ability to monitor and forecast performance is vital.

Technology and Data Analysis in Exercise and Sport Science

Exercise physiology and biomechanics are the two key focus areas of exercise science. This course will allow students to explore the physiological responses to exercise as well as the constraints that physics principles have on human performance when attempting to improve performance or limit injury. Students will develop an understanding of the methods used in both fields of study along with exploring data analysis techniques to enhance athlete potential.

Performance Methods in Exercise and Sport Science

This subject will examine the human anatomy and function of the musculoskeletal system and other body physiology systems including, nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems in the support of life and movement. Students will also understand how the anatomical and physiological characteristics and features within each system respond and adapt to exercise and physical activity for healthy individuals.

Functional Exercise Anatomy Application

This course provides the concepts and skills needed to obtain and use information effectively in the field of exercise science. The emphasis is on the location and use of information sources covered including electronic databases and the Internet. Students will learn how to disseminate relevant information from sourced information and understand the research methods used to identify practical implications. The course will provide knowledge and skills to complete the tasks required for academic writing and research.
