Unit information
In this unit, you will develop your foundational knowledge across exercise physiology, exercise prescription and programming to consider the scientific evidence associated with adaptations to training and performance.
You will explore the impact of training interventions, ergogenic aids and environmental factors in relation to optimising training and load to enhance performance and minimise injury risk. In doing so, you will attain a theoretical and applied understanding to appropriately select training-based interventions specific to the needs of a client and/or sporting group across a training continuum.

Learning outcomes
Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
- demonstrate in depth knowledge of the physiological responses associated with common stategies utilised to enhance performance and minimise injury risk across a range of contexts;
- generate and transmit solutions that enhance athletic performance through the development and implementation of safe and appropriate interventions that prioritises the needs of the client; and
- analyse and evaluate literature and physiological measurements to provide specialist advice on the interactions between training aids (e.g. diet and ergogenic aids) and the exercise response.

Studying online
At UNE we know it takes more than just being online to be a great online university. It takes time and experience. We pioneered distance education for working adults back in the 1950s, so we’ve been doing this longer than any other Australian university.
We understand the challenges faced by busy adults studying at home. We know that a vital part of online study is your engagement with the learning community. Communication with your classmates, teaching staff and university support staff will enhance your study experience and ensure that your skills extend beyond the subject matter. UNE’s teaching staff are experts in their field which is why UNE consistently receives five stars from students for teaching quality, support and overall experience.*
