In this unit students will apply the principles of exercise programming and prescription to the reduction and management of injuries in physically active settings. Students will use the concepts of needs analysis, adaptation and periodization to structure programs for a range of injury-based scenarios using training methods. Students will explore methods in which exercise can aid in reducing risk of injury and create programs for targeted common injuries. Students will focus on 'whole-body' return to play processes with reference to interactions with other health, sport and occupational professionals opposed to direct site of injury.
1. Develop and appraise training programs that aid in the prevention of injury based on the physical activity scenario using needs analysis principles;
2. Apply specialised knowledge to the programming of training exercises and movement skills with a view to rehabilitating the 'whole' athlete for the purpose of returning to full athletic or occupational activity; and
3. Critically evaluate best practice for the delivery of training programs with consideration of injury mechanisms.
