SCOND6002 Training and Coaching Speed Qualities
This course is designed to enable students to design and coach speed sessions to enhance sports performance. Various approaches to developing speed qualities (acceleration, maximum speed, speed-endurance, speed in changing direction, and agility) will be explored. These approaches incorporate biomechanical, neuromuscular, physiological, motor control, and cognitive perspectives for understanding the development of speed qualities. The use of dedicated speed sessions as well as skill-based training methods such as small-sided games will be discussed. Analysing and coaching running technique will be included to optimise performance. Selecting tests to identify strengths and weaknesses and monitor training will be investigated.
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.
