In this unit students will learn the science and implementation of specific training methods used in exercise prescription. Acceleration, speed, agility, direction change, and plyometrics movement techniques will be analysed in line with evidence-based research. Associated exercise prescription progression and regressions associated with these techniques will be taught. Students will be able to apply the methods taught to a range of situations and will demonstrate their ability to deliver a high-quality targeted program in line with evidence-based testing and screening methods.

Learning outcomes

On completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Create and periodically appraise a longitudinal speed/acceleration program for an individual based on needs analysis, screening and testing;
2. Assess and evaluate movement competencies from advanced speed, direction change and landing techniques based on best practice using appropriate coaching frameworks; and
3. Critically analyse and evaluate rehabilitation and reconditioning protocols for common sports injuries.

Required texts

This unit will primarily use peer-reviewed journal articles to support the learning material which will be embedded within the Canvas site. As such, there are no required texts. It is recommended a generic strength and conditioning text is used to support the underpinning material. Suggestions include:

Cardinale,M., Newton,R., Nosaka,K. (2011) Strength and Conditioning: Biological Principles and Practical Applications. Oxford; Wiley-Blackwell

Gamble, P. (2009) Strength and Conditioning for Team Sports: Sport-Specific Physical Preparation for High Performance, Abingdon: Taylor & Francis.

Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning (2016), National Strength and Conditioning Association, Haff, G.G. and Triplett, N.T. (Ed.), Human Kinetics: Champaigne, IL.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.

Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.

UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.

Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.

Participation requirements

Online participation and engagement with discussions is expected and will enhance your learning experience

Required IT skills

Basic software and word-processing packages are required. The use of technologies that allow you to film a video of your presentation is also required.

This unit involves online meetings in real-time using the Virtual Room in your UCLearn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real-time with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For the best audio quality, we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your UCLearn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room

Work placement, internships or practicums

None
