This topic will introduce students to exercise program design and prescription with a primary focus on resistance training. It will enable students to put theory into practice through practical application of resistance training principles. It will provide students with the opportunity to develop their skills in resistance training program design through the focus on exercise training technique, periodisation and safety protocols.

As part of the assessment requirements students will complete a workbook of tasks aligned with the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association requirements and participate in an online discussion.

The aim of this topic is to explore the field of resistance training from a practical perspective. The topic will introduce the notion of prescribing resistance training exercise in accordance with the principles of training, periodisation and how to effectively and safely design appropriate exercise programming.

On completion of this topic students will be able to:

• Apply the theoretical resistance training and periodisation principles to design resistance training programs

• Design appropriate programming that targets strength, power, hypertrophy, muscular endurance and plyometrics

• Adequately perform the Australian Strength and Conditioning level 1 lifts

• Design appropriate resistance training programs for general and special population groups

• Design sports specific resistance training programs for athletes
