EXSCI3002 PHYSICAL PREPARATION FOR SPORT
This unit is concerned with all aspects of physical preparation for athletes participating in competitive sport. It covers principles and applications of training for endurance, speed qualities, strength qualities, agility, body composition, periodising and planning programs, monitoring training, recovery, screening for injury prevention, and issues such as altitude training and overtraining. The unit also covers principles of assessment of physical qualities, criteria for selection of tests such as validity and reliability, and interpretation of test results. Through assignment work, students are required to gather evidence from research and other sources to provide a rationale for efficacious training and testing of athletes.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
