Overview

In this unit students explore how the body systems work together to produce movement and analyse this motion using biomechanical principles. Through practical activities students explore the relationships between the body systems and physical activity. They are introduced to the aerobic and anaerobic pathways utilised to provide the muscles with the energy required for movement and the basic characteristics of each pathway.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each competency unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of project and work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
• use correct anatomical terminology to identify bones, individual muscles (for example, rectus, abdominus), joints and joint actions used in human movement;
• perform, observe and analyse a variety of movements used in physical activity and identify the bones, muscles, joints and joint actions responsible for movement;
• accurately describe the process of reciprocal inhibition;
• use correct terminology to identify muscle fibre types and muscular contractions required to perform a variety of activities at different intensities;
• describe the relationship between motor unit recruitment and muscular contractions;
• perform, measure and report on changes to the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems at rest compared to exercise;
• identify the dominant energy pathway utilised in a variety of aerobic or anaerobic activities determined by the intensity and duration of the activity, and;
• collect, analyse and report on primary data related to responses to exercise and anaerobic and aerobic pathways.

Required reading

Lecturer will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of VU produced workbooks.
