Subject Description
Throughout Exercise Physiology students develop the ability to analyse health and physical activity information critically, using it to create and execute personalised plans aimed at maintaining healthy and active lifestyles.
Through practical applications students learn to apply more specialised movement skills and complex movement strategies and concepts in different movement environments. The curriculum also provides opportunities for students to examine fitness components, training principles and energy systems.
The course appeals to students with varying backgrounds and physical activity knowledge. It also prepares students for future Stage 1 and Stage 2 PE courses with core content relating to physiological, anatomical, and skill-learning applications.
Cost: Approximately $60.00 to cover gym visits, community excursions, bus travel. Dependent on negotiated practical, additional costs may apply.
