Content
There are many factors that influence the design of an athlete’s training plan. This unit will address the wide range of factors that a coach needs to consider. Topics will include nutrition and recovery strategies, understanding the rehabilitation process of an injured athlete, fitness testing, legal and ethical issues including supplement strategies that work within the ‘Sport Integrity Australia’, and facility design. On completion of this unit, students will be able to use the evidence around an array of factors that must be considered in a conditioning program in their professional practice.
