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
