Course Description

In this course you will develop and advance your knowledge of human motion and performance analysis in sport and exercise. It will increase your understanding of the importance of performance analysis in sport and exercise and how you can modify your approach depending upon the clientele being investigated. You will also develop the skills to collect and analyse human motion and performance data, and how to write and present reports. Practical classes will provide hands-on opportunities to explore the broad, and yet detailed, approaches to human motion and performance analysis.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

This course will provide the skills and knowledge for a range of accreditation standards required by Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA).

This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for BP296 Exercise and Sport Science:

  • Apply knowledge of the underlying principles and concepts of Exercise and Sport Science.  Including the core areas of: Human Physiology, Anatomy, Functional Anatomy, Exercise Physiology, Biomechanics, Motor Learning and Control, Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition, and Psychology (PLO 1).
  • Utilise core instrumentation and equipment for the monitoring and assessment of exercise clients (PLO 2).
  • Review, analyse and interpret information, and independently generate conclusions (PLO 3).
  • Communicate knowledge through a variety of modalities (PLO 4)
  • Assess exercise clients using valid and reliable methods, and generate reports in an appropriate format (PLO 5).
  • Contextualise discipline knowledge to performance sports and / or health, disease and ageing (PLO 7).


Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Apply a broad and coherent knowledge of the underlying principles and concepts of Exercise and Sport Science.
  2. Safely and effectively use Exercise and Sport Science instrumentation and equipment to record and assess human motion and performance in sport and exercise.
  3. Record, extract and analyse key information about human motion and performance in sport and exercise.
  4. Communicate Exercise and Sport Science knowledge in a variety of formats (reports, abstracts, presentations).


Overview of Learning Activities

You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals, laboratories, seminars, project work, class discussion, individual and group activities. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.

You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.


Overview of Learning Resources

RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through myRMIT Studies Course.

There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
