SCOND6005 Data Analysis and Applied Statistics
This course is designed to investigate the collection, management, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data for various purposes applied to strength and conditioning. Purposes include athlete profiling, monitoring training, talent identification and applied research. The criteria for selecting appropriate tests such as reliability and validity are explored to provide a rationale for data collection. Students will learn to select tests, collect and manage data sets, analyse the data, interpret results, and report them in a meaningful way to coaches and athletes. Magnitude based statistics commonly used in strength and conditioning are also explored. Alongside this, students will be equipped to compare and contrast magnitude based statistics with traditional null hypothesis testing. This strength and conditioning specific course contributes to meeting the 'Data handling and management' competency standard required for the ESSA Level 1 Sports Science accreditation.
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.
