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 and 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 playing fields
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 Rugby League games
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of physiological elements, such as energy systems and muscle groups and their relationship to performance in Rugby League activities
observation of accurate discussions with specialists on topics such as over training symptoms, and conditioning techniques for the improvement of fitness components
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:
SISSRGL201A Use intermediate level Rugby League game skills
SISSRGL202A Use intermediate level tactics and game strategy in Rugby League play
SISSRGL305A Use advanced level Rugby League game skills
SISSRGL308A Use advanced level tactics and game strategy in Rugby League play.
