Course Description

This course is practically oriented and utilises knowledge and skills developed from a range of related disciplines relevant to health, exercise and sport. The main focus of the course will be for students to develop knowledge and skills to be able to competently conduct a range of specified health and exercise related assessments and to be able to calibrate, maintain and effectively use testing equipment. The ability to conduct both clinical and field testing of a range of people in the population who are engaged in, or seek to be involved in, physical activity is important to health and exercise related professionals such as sports trainers, coaches, sports scientists and physical educators. The ability of sport and exercise professionals to perform, based on best practice, a range of health and fitness tests for elite athletes and other population groups is also an important requirement for employment in the area. Overall, the course seeks to ensure a high level of competency in the safe conduct of a range of health, sport and exercise assessments.

Course Pre-requisites

Course Co-requisite

When planning your enrolment, you might come across terms like prerequisite, corequisite, and anti-requisite. These are important to understand because they affect which courses you can take and when.

Prerequisite

A prerequisite is a course you must complete before enrolling in another course. It ensures you have the necessary background knowledge and skills to succeed in the next course.

Corequisite

A corequisite is a course that you need to take at the same time as another course, or before it. These courses complement each other and are often required together in professionally accredited programs.

Anti-requisite

An anti-requisite is a course that has very similar content to another course. You can’t enrol in both because it wouldn’t benefit your learning to repeat the same material.
