UNIT DESCRIPTION Unit description This first level Physical Fitness and Health unit introduces students to the importance of fitness and physical activity on personal health and well-being; and the negative implications of physically inactive lifestyle on the individual as well as the community. The unit takes a multidisciplinary approach to address issues relating to physical health and wellness and factors that influences exercise behaviour of individuals. In addition, students are exposed to various exercise conditioning/training modalities for allround physical development. An important part of this process is personal experience in these training modalities. Effectively, students 'learn by doing', which enables a better understanding of the techniques and demands of each activity. Therefore, there is a heavy emphasis on participation and personal improvement within this unit.

Learning outcomes On completion of this unit, you should be able to: 





Recall and integrate key knowledge and concepts in the following areas: o

The definitions of health, wellness and physical fitness

o

The importance of physical activity in today’s environment & implications of physical inactivity on health and well being

o

Fundamental concepts and theories in anatomy, physiology and movement science (biomechanics) with topics including: 

Training principles and guidelines



Training modalities for different components of fitness



Physiological adaptation to exercise



Psychological theories and paradigms related to exercise behaviour.

Students will be able to apply key knowledge and concepts to o

Educate and inform others about physical activity and exercise for fitness and health

o

Plan and develop effective fitness / lifestyle programs to suit individual needs.

Students will also be able to: o

Assess fitness level using popular but standardised field protocols

o

Critically review health and fitness claims seen in popular media and distinguish between facts and inferences

o

Gain experience in recording and evaluating personal activity level and providing recommendations based on theoretical knowledge provided

UNIT STRUCTURE Lectures All lectures will be online except for Lecture 1, which will be held at 0900am Friday 8th January in the John Bloomfield Lecture Theatre, at the School of Sport Science, Exercise and Health.

Running Practical*# Fridays at 08:00 am or 09:00 am – each class is 60 min in duration Allocations to lab classes will be made on Friday 8th January

Resistance Training Practical*# Monday and Wednesdays at 08:00 am; 09:30 am; 11:00 pm; or 12:30 pm each class is 90 min in duration. Allocations to lab classes will be made on Friday 8th January * Full participation and attendance are required. A penalty of 5% will be applied for each absence, up to a maximum of 35% that is not covered by a medical certificate, or without prior arrangement with course coordinator. # This unit requires students to undertake various forms of physical activity at varying intensities. Students must complete a pre-activity risk screening questionnaire each semester. If this is the only SSEH unit you are undertaking, please speak to the unit coordinator to ensure you have completed the screening documentation.

TEACHING AND LEARNING RESPONSIBILITIES Teaching and learning strategies The strategies used in this unit to facilitate your learning include lectures and practical classes. The practical classes provide opportunities for students to not only ‘put theories into practice’, but also to gain a deeper insight into a variety of physical conditioning strategies. For example, running a 400 m race provides a very real understanding of the energy systems involved that would not necessarily be evident conceptually.

Charter of student rights and responsibilities This Charter of Student Rights and Responsibilities upholds the fundamental rights of students who undertake their education at the University of Western Australia.

It recognises that excellence in teaching and learning requires students to be active participants in their educational experience. It upholds the ethos that in addition to the University's role of awarding formal academic qualifications to students, the University must strive to instil in all students independent scholarly learning, critical judgement, academic integrity and ethical sensitivity. Please refer to the website the full charter of student rights and responsibilities, located at http://www.secretariat.uwa.edu.au/home/policies/charter

Use of student feedback This unit is periodically devalued and students will have the opportunity to provide feedback. Feedback from students will be taken into account when the unit content and teaching and learning strategies are updated.

ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW Assessments are an integral part of an academic program. They are designed to encourage you to explore and understand the subject more fully. Results of assessments should reflect your achievements of the learning outcomes set out at the commencement of the unit. Feedback received also serves as part of the learning process.

Ethical Scholarship, Academic Literacy and Academic Misconduct Ethical scholarship is the pursuit of scholarly enquiry marked by honesty and integrity. Academic Literacy is the capacity to undertake study and research, and to communicate findings and knowledge, in a manner appropriate to the particular disciplinary conventions and scholarly standards expected at university level. Academic misconduct is any activity or practice engaged in by a student that breaches explicit guidelines relating to the production of work for assessment, in a manner that compromises or defeats the purpose of that assessment. Students must not engage in academic misconduct. Any such activity undermines an ethos of ethical scholarship. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to cheating, or attempting to cheat, through:  Collusion  Inappropriate collaboration  Plagiarism  Misrepresenting or fabricating data or results or other assessable work  Inappropriate electronic data sourcing/collection  Breaching rules specified for the conduct of examinations in a way that may compromise or defeat the purposes of assessment. Penalties for academic misconduct vary according to seriousness of the case, and may include the requirement to do further work or repeat work; deduction of marks; the award of zero marks for the assessment; failure of one or more units; suspension from a course of study; exclusion from the University, non-conferral of a degree, diploma or other award to which the student would otherwise have been entitled. Refer to the Ethical Scholarship, Academic Literacy and Academic Misconduct policy.

Appeals against academic assessment If students feel they have been unfairly assessed, they have the right to appeal their mark by submitting an Appeal against Academic Assessment form to the Head of School and Faculty Office. The form must be submitted within twenty working days of the release of the formal result. It is recommended that students contact the Guild Education Officers to aid them in the appeals process. They can be contacted on +61 8 6488 2295 or [email protected]. Full regulations governing appeals procedures are available from Academic Policy Services, available online at http://www.aps.uwa.edu.au/home/policies/appeals
