Syllabus
This unit extends the students knowledge about the training and preparing of athletes. It explores concepts of planning, within both a short and long term program. Students are expected to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the training principles underpinning the development of an athlete's physical capacities. They will undertake and demonstrate practical exercises to improve strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility, and exercises designed to minimise training injuries. Students will undertake a coach self-assessment exercise to improve their coaching performances.
