The primary focus of this unit is on the design and implementation of resistance training programs for improvements in sports performance and general health. This unit examines the structure and function of skeletal muscle. 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.
Online Students will be required to participate in 3 x laboratory sessions conducted at the Joondalup Campus during the semester. Please see timetable for dates and times.
Students must have passed MHS1101 and one unit from SPS1104 or SPS1111.
Unit was previously coded SPS1202
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU's LMS
| Joondalup | Mount Lawley | South West (Bunbury) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semester 1 | 13 x 1.5 hour lab | Not Offered | Not Offered |
| Semester 1 | 13 x 2 hour lecture | Not Offered | Not Offered |
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
The laboratory sessions allow students to demonstrate correct lifting technique for themselves and others. Students will develop their ability to interact with people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. There is a strong focus on practical application of resistance training knowledge as part of laboratories and training program design.

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.
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:
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).
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
