Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required for players to participate in conditioning for netball activities. It requires the ability to comprehend information on physiological elements used in netball activities, follow the guidance of specialists, use techniques and equipment to improve speed, agility, endurance, strength, power and flexibility, use post-training recovery methods and evaluate self progress.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Access and interpret information on physiological elements used in netball activities.
- 1.1. Seek and comprehend information on the features of energy systems and requirements for netball players and apply this in conditioning and playing activities to avoid injury.
- 1.2. Access and interpret information on the major muscle groups to safely develop and use them when participating in conditioning and playing activities.
- 1.3. Seek information on fitness tests and their use in developing conditioning programs appropriate to different levels of play.
- 1.4. Source and comprehend information on suitable conditioning regimes for each major fitness component and player position used in netball.
- 1.5. Seek the advice of relevant specialists to interpret physiological elements and safely utilise conditioning regimes and techniques.
2. Participate in conditioning and fitness sessions.
- 2.1. Select and safely use appropriate conditioning equipment according to specialist instructions and the organisational procedures of the facility.
- 2.2. Use basic conditioning techniques for the improvement of speed, agility, endurance, strength, power and flexibility, as advised by a specialist.
- 2.3. Participate in fitness and conditioning sessions, as planned and developed by a specialist.
- 2.4. Recognise over training symptoms and develop a recovery plan for over training after seeking advice from a specialist.
- 2.5. Use post-training recovery methods, as advised by a specialist.
3. Evaluate the conditioning sessions.
- 3.1. Review own performance in conditioning sessions and identify areas for improvement.
- 3.2. Discuss and evaluate fitness test results and modify conditioning as advised by a specialist.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
participates in multiple and diverse conditioning sessions to improve speed, agility, endurance, strength, power and flexibility, that are of a sufficient duration to demonstrate competence, consistency of performance
utilises knowledge of energy systems and muscle groups to determine appropriate conditioning techniques for different levels of play and player positions
recognises over training symptoms, seeks advice from specialists to plan and implement a recovery plan and utilises correct recovery methods
communicates appropriately with coaches and specialists throughout conditioning, and responds to feedback
evaluates conditioning sessions and reviews own performance to identify strengths and areas requiring improvement and or modifications.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
suitable facilities, such as gyms and courts
current testing equipment and facilities
a coach to give instructions and feedback
support staff, such as specialist conditioning coaches and dieticians
conditioning equipment, such as cardiovascular equipment, free weight equipment, hydraulic equipment, exercise balls and resistance equipment
recovery plans used to manage over training and injury
current relevant organisational facility policies and procedures that impact on the conduct of conditioning sessions.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
observation of performance and improvement of fitness components, such as speed, agility, endurance, strength, power and flexibility during conditioning sessions and netball games
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of physiological elements, such as energy systems and muscle groups and recovery methods and their relationship to performance in netball activities
observation of accurate discussions with specialists on topics such as over training symptoms, and conditioning techniques for the improvement of fitness components and recovery methods
evaluation of third-party reports from coaches or specialists detailing conditioning performance and use of recovery methods.
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
SISSNTB201A Use intermediate level netball skills
SISSNTB202A Use intermediate level tactics and game strategy in netball play
SISSNTB305A Use advanced level tactics and game strategy in netball play
SISSNTB306A Use advanced netball skills
