This unit examines the structure and function of skeletal muscle. The primary focus is on the design and implementation of resistance training programs for improvements in sports performance and general health. Methods of developing muscular hypertrophy, strength, power and endurance are covered in lecture sessions and practical laboratories. On completion of this unit students will demonstrate competency in the design and instruction of resistance training programs.
Lectures and laboratories (semester 1) along with Industry Education (Practicum) in a supervised setting (semester 2).
Students must have passed MHS1101 and MHS1102 and one unit from SPS1104 or SPS1111.
Unit was previously coded SPS1202
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
