Using a problem-solving approach this unit further develops the student's knowledge and skills in the delivery of training programs focussed on developing energy systems and movement competency. Bioenergetics, cardiorespiratory and endocrinological considerations for different scenarios will be examined and suitable testing and training programs for these will be developed, including their role in warm-up, cool-down and recovery protocols. The principles of movement competency as it relates to mobility and flexibility will also be examined and applied for the purposes of injury prevention.

Learning outcomes

On completion of this unit, student will be able to:
1. Design a series of longitudinal plans based on energy systems conditioning requirements for a selection of scenarios using evidence-based practice;
2. Create and rationalise effective warm-ups, cool downs and recovery protocols for a variety of training session modes; and
3. Critically analyse the mechanisms and strategies for energy system development and athlete nutritional requirements.
