This course provides foundation knowledge and understanding in the biophysical sciences (e.g. anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, etc.), before further study on the acute and chronic neuromuscular, metabolic and cardiorespiratory responses to physical activity and exercise. Core technical and analytical skills are developed in the areas of exercise testing, movement analysis and exercise prescription, in addition to study in psychology and behaviour modification. In the final trimester of study, students normally complete 140 hours of practicum experience in health, fitness or sport related industries, where prior learning is consolidated. Graduates gain expertise in the measurement and analysis of exercise capacity, and in the design and implementation of exercise interventions for apparently healthy individuals, including elite and recreational athletes.
To be eligible to be considered for a course you must:
• meet the admission requirements of the institution offering the course and
• meet the entrance requirements of the course – some courses have course prerequisites or additional selection criteria.
• Our institutions may also take other criteria into account when they assess your application. These may include a portfolio, interview, audition, questionnaire or a test for certain courses either instead of, or together with, the ATAR.
