Course Description
This advanced PE course is designed for students who want to take their fitness to the next level through structured strength and conditioning. Emphasizing proper technique, progressive overload, and functional training, students will develop power, speed, and endurance while learning how to train safely and effectively. The course integrates mobility work, performance tracking, recovery and support strategies to build a strong foundation for lifelong health.
Learning Outcomes
Technique & Safety
- Technique Mastery: Execute compound lifts and functional movements with correct biomechanics.
- Safety Protocols: Apply spotting techniques and equipment standards to ensure a safe environment.
- Mobility: Perform targeted warm-ups and mobility drills to optimise range of motion.
Programming & Performance
- Progressive Overload: Manipulate variables (weight, reps, sets) to drive continuous physical adaptation.
- Program Design: Create a personalised training plan aligned with specific fitness goals.
- Performance Tracking: Analyse training data to evaluate progress and adjust intensity.
Lifestyle & Recovery
- Recovery: Implement strategies (sleep, nutrition, active rest) to manage fatigue and maximise gains.
