SCOND6004 Delivery and Program Design for Endurance Qualities
This course will prepare students to design training programs to develop endurance qualities for athletes in accordance with the demands of their sport. Students will learn to determine the energy system contributions, aerobic power, anaerobic threshold and other demands to optimise training adaptations. The physiological mechanisms underpinning endurance performance will be used to provide evidence for program design. The application of various endurance training methods such as long slow distance, interval training and fartlek will be investigated. Students will learn the effect of various endurance training tasks on the development of other physical qualities, and how to program to minimise any potential interference effects. Students will understand and conduct field tests of endurance and will be able to interpret a VO2 max test with a comprehensive report indicating training recommendations.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2025 contribution amount* $2,124
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $997
Grandfathered contribution amount - 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.
* For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
