Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of an advanced exercise program aimed at maintaining peak fitness for performances that require a high level of stamina, strength and endurance.The unit applies to those who display a high level of initiative, judgement and responsibility as they develop, implement and maintain fitness programs that incorporate well-developed understanding of anatomy, physiology and principles of biomechanics. At this level, access to a fully equipped fitness studio or gym is recommended but not required.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Design an advanced exercise program
  • 1.1 Determine the type of advanced exercise program best suited to own performance needs in discussion with required personnel
  • 1.2 Target each component of fitness with advanced applications of exercise modalities
  • 1.3 Monitor own posture to determine whether exercises are needed to modify postural irregularities
  • 1.4 Apply frequency, intensity, type and time (FITT) principle when planning advanced aerobic conditioning, flexibility, mobility, muscular strength, endurance and power programs
  • 1.5 Incorporate into advanced exercise program aspects of somatic methods that match own performance requirements
  • 1.6 Document advanced exercise program, building in strategies for ongoing review and amendment
2. Implement own advanced exercise program
  • 2.1 Perform warm-up and cool-down procedures in conjunction with exercise activities
  • 2.2 Follow advanced exercise program under required supervision
  • 2.3 Use advanced applications of exercise modalities according to manufacturer and instructor requirements
  • 2.4 Identify and follow studio or gymnasium rules and protocols
  • 2.5 Determine target exercise heart rates and regularly measure physiological responses to exercises
  • 2.6 Incorporate feedback from required personnel and amend exercise program accordingly
3. Evaluate advanced exercise program
  • 3.1 Evaluate whether goals of own advanced exercise program are being achieved
  • 3.2 Evaluate physiological changes that occur as a result of following advanced exercise program
  • 3.3 Document symptoms that indicate over-training and take account of them when revising advanced exercise program
