Description
This course provides foundation knowledge and understanding in the biophysical sciences (e.g. anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, etc.), before further study on the acute and chronic neuromuscular, metabolic and cardiorespiratory responses to physical activity and exercise.
Core technical and analytical skills are developed in the areas of exercise testing, movement analysis and exercise prescription, in addition to study in psychology and behaviour modification. In the final trimester of study, students normally complete 140 hours of practicum experience in health, fitness or sport related industries, where prior learning is consolidated. Graduates gain expertise in the measurement and analysis of exercise capacity, and in the design and implementation of exercise interventions for apparently healthy individuals, including elite and recreational athletes.
Please note: this course was previously known as Bachelor of Exercise Science.
Career Opportunities
Examples include: Strength and conditioning coach, sports scientist, personal trainer, health and wellbeing consultant/educator, cardiac/respiratory/sleep science technician, health and safety officer, and rehabilitation advisor
