Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisites For CG85 Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences students: ESSC11002 Measurement and Evaluation in Health Science AND ESSC12001 Exercise and Sport Physiology For CG93 Bachelor of Medical Science students: BMSC11001 Human Body Systems 1 AND BMSC11002 Human Body Systems 2 AND ESSC11002 Measurement and Evaluation in Health Sciences For CC13 Bachelor of Education (Secondary) students: ESSC12001 Exercise and Sport Physiology
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2024
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Residential Schools
This unit has a Compulsory Residential School for distance mode students and the details are:

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Discussion with Exercise and Sport Sciences teaching staff
Unit content will need to align with current Exercise and Sport Sciences Australia Accreditation Standards given the CG85 Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Sciences course will undergo re-accreditation in 2024.
It is recommended that unit content be reviewed to avoid undue replication with other units and address relevant areas contained in the current Exercise and Sports Science Australia Accreditation Standards.
Feedback from Student attendance and teaching staff feedback
There is a lack of attendance and engagement at live lectures across the term.
It is recommended that lectures are pre-recorded ahead of time with scheduled lecture time used for interactive tutorial-oriented activity.
- Recognise applications of exercise and sport physiology in practice
- Collect and analyse research data in exercise and sport settings
- Evaluate and disseminate research findings in verbal and written forms.
