Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of an advanced exercise program aimed at maintaining peak fitness for performances that require a high level of stamina, strength and endurance. The unit applies to those who display a high level of initiative, judgement and responsibility as they develop, implement and maintain fitness programs that incorporate well-developed understanding of anatomy, physiology and principles of biomechanics. At this level, access to a fully equipped fitness studio or gym is recommended but not required. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements

  • 1. Design an advanced exercise program
  • 2. Implement own advanced exercise program
  • 3. Evaluate advanced exercise program

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU's LMS

Performance Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to: design and implement at least one advanced exercise program that: meets performance needs and discipline incorporates advanced applications of exercise modalities that target each component of fitness. In the course of the above, the candidate must: evaluate the effectiveness of the advanced exercise program work collaboratively to achieve fitness goals.

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of: key features of advanced exercise programs for performances and how to design them tools and techniques used to analyse advanced exercise programs in a performance context key features of the following in the context of maintaining a high level of fitness for performance: basic anatomical and physiological principles biomechanical principles injury-prevention strategies symptoms of over-training safety and health procedures types of advanced exercise programs to maintain a high level of fitness for performance frequency, intensity, type and time (FITT) principles and their application to different fitness programs principles common to different somatic methods key concepts used in somatic neuromuscular re-patterning processes.

Assessment

Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry. This includes access to: space, facilities and equipment required for fitness and conditioning exercise interaction with others required to demonstrate the performance evidence equipment and tools for monitoring and implementing exercise regimes, such as health-monitoring devices. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Assessment

GS5 VET GRADING SCHEMA Used for WAAPA VET only

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.


Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Academic Integrity

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:

Plagiarism

Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).

Unauthorised collaboration (collusion)

Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).

Contract cheating

Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.

Cheating in an exam

Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.

Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.

ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.

All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.

Assessment Extension

In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.

Special Consideration

Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
