 * Context**

This area of study focuses on the components of fitness and assessment of fitness from a physiological perspective. Students consider the manner in which fitness can be improved by the application of appropriate training principles and methods and participation in activity data collection, fitness testing and fitness training. Students collect data and apply theoretical information in a practical and meaningful way.

On completion of this unit the students should be able to plan and evaluate training programs to enhance physical fitness.


 * Key knowledge**


 * Fitness components and definitions;
 * Data collection activity analysis including skills analysis, work-rest ratios, movement patterns, muscle groups and muscle action;
 * Assessment of fitness including methodology, techniques and outcomes;
 * Fitness training principles, including specificity, intensity, duration, frequency and overload;
 * Fitness training methods to improve strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, power and motor skill ability.


 * Key skills and objectives**


 * Explain training principles and methods;
 * Perform, observe, analyse and report on laboratory exercises designed to explore the assessment of fitness and the relationship between at least two training methods and gains to fitness;
 * Create a training program that reflects appropriate application of training methods and principles to bring about chronic adaptation;
 * Evaluate a training program.
 * Ensure students understand the terminology used in exam questions
 * Ensure students are able to apply key knowledge to practical examples
