To provide students with a foundation and understanding of effective prescription of exercise/physical activity for health and sport performance.

Structure, phases and components of cardio-vascular endurance and resistance (body, machine and weights) training sessions. Safe selection, structuring and teaching of appropriate exercises. Adaptations and progressions. Application of training principles. Safety guidelines. Pedagogical aspects of class management. Basic weight training schedules. Monitoring intensity. Exercise to music.

Demonstrate an understanding of the components of fitness and the principles of training prescription Demonstrate an awareness of the varied physical attributes of a given population, and how selected modes of exercise may be more appropriate for a particular sub-population. Apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting as devised in these classes Demonstrate and teach resistance training exercises competently Recognise various safety issues related to exercise participation Recognise common faults in performance technique in a variety of exercise settings Structure specific sessions to ensure safe exercise performance.

Awareness of responsibility for promoting physical activity and health.

Demonstrate proficiency in the analysis, teaching and performance of a range of exercises from both a resistance training (RT) and cardiovascular (CVE) based exercise perspective Choreograph an 'exercise to music' routine with a clear emphasis on an effective warm-up, developmental varied-intensity movement patterns, and an appropriate cool-down.
