This unit provides students with an opportunity to undertake advanced study of resistance training. Specifically, advanced resistance training programs will be critically analysed and discussed with an emphasis on the methods utilised to impact hypertrophy, strength and/or power development. Areas of focus include plyometric training methods, weightlifting movements and their variants, sports-specific resistance training, power optimisation techniques, and the theory and integration of periodisation concepts into the preparation of elite athletes and teams.
Students must have passed SPS5133 and SPS6104
Unit was previously coded SPS3105, SPS5126
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECU Blackboard as well as additional ECU learning technologies.
This unit will be delivered using technology-enhanced learning. Students will be required to access and use a variety of digital learning materials to prepare for and engage in discussion and activities related to advanced resistance training. Learning activities and assignments will develop communication and analytical abilities of students as well as providing opportunities to discover, discuss and apply theory in a meaningful context. Students need to be actively engaged in the unit by reading the required readings, listening to recorded lectures and participating in critical discussions related to advanced resistance training within Blackboard.
