EXPH11-109: Assessment, Prescription and Delivery of Exercise 2

This subject advances students’ capability to design, justify, and deliver strength and conditioning programs for both performance and clinical populations. Building on prior study, students apply contemporary periodisation models and integrate resistance training, speed and agility development, and energy system conditioning to meet specified health and performance goals. Through forums, coaching labs, and workshops, students refine technical coaching skills (including Olympic lifting derivatives), develop safe progressions and regressions, and adapt programs for diverse and special populations (e.g., youth, older adults, and clients with chronic health constraints) with a focus on cultural and physical safety. Students use athlete/client monitoring data to manage load, support recovery, and reduce injury risk, and evaluate their service delivery through structured self-reflection and peer review. Assessment includes periodised program design, client education and monitoring resources, and an Australian Strength and Conditioning Association-aligned practical coaching exam.
