Complementary Medicines in Contemporary Society

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

This subject provides a theoretical understanding of exercise and physical activity and their role in promoting health across the lifespan. Students will examine health data for different Australian populations and consider the implications for promoting health at individual and community levels. The course also explores evidence-based strategies and partnerships used in health promotion initiatives to encourage long-term engagement in physical activity and healthy living.

Exercise, Physical Activity and Health

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 provides students with a theoretical understanding of human performance and exercise capacity across the lifespan. Students will examine common physical assessments, including strength, endurance, and fitness tests, and consider health risk factors related to exercise. The subject also explores how age, gender, and development influence exercise ability and motivation, and how physical activity affects growth and health. Principles of resistance and endurance training for children, adolescents, and older adults are discussed, alongside the physiological and developmental changes that occur across the lifespan.

Human Growth and Exercise Performance

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 examines the structure and function of the human body, with a focus on the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, and digestive systems. Students will explore the interrelationship between structure and function at various levels of organisation, from chemicals and cells to tissues, organs, and the whole body. Emphasis is placed on understanding the mechanisms that support life and enable movement, and on how each system responds and adapts to exercise and physical activity in healthy individuals.

Human Structure and Functional Anatomy in Exercise

This subject teaches students how to find, evaluate, and use information responsibly in the field of exercise science, including the ethical and critical use of AI tools. Students will learn to access relevant sources, including online databases and the Internet, and to communicate information clearly. The subject also covers how to interpret and analyse research data, including graphs and tables, to support evidence-based scientific arguments. Students will develop the foundational skills needed for academic writing and research-related tasks.
