Diploma of Exercise and Sport Science (YEXSS1)COURSE OUTLINEStudents will undertake foundation core units in anatomy and physiology introducing the musculo-skeletal system and the normal physiology of nerve and muscle function, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system as well as other basic cellular and genetic processes. Other core units will explore the fundamentals in the control of movement and motor skill acquisition, how the human body interacts with its environment and the subsequent optimization of human performance, and the body’s acute and chronic responses to exercise.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIESGraduates have diverse employment opportunities in fitness, sport and health industries. They consult, test, prescribe and administer programs in exercise and sport settings and are involved in education and promotion of exercise and sport. Graduates coach, train and apply physiology, psychology, biomechanics and

motor skill learning principles to a range of human physical performance settings.

COURSE STRUCTUREThis course provides foundation core units in anatomy and physiology, introducing the musculo-skeletal system and the normal physiology of nerve and muscle function, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system as well as other basic cellular and genetic processes and how the human body interacts with its environment and the subsequent optimization of human performance, and the body’s acute and chronic responses to exercise. This course articulates and provides a pathway to the Associate Degree of Exercise and Sport Science and the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science courses.
