Focus Area 1: Health in an Australian and global context
Module overview →- How is Australian health care structured, funded and delivered?Examine the structure, funding and roles of Australia's health care system, including Medicare, the PBS, public and private hospitals, primary care, allied health, and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services9 min answer →
- How do the determinants of health create and maintain inequities?Analyse the determinants of health (individual, sociocultural, socioeconomic, environmental) and how they interact to create health inequities in the Australian population9 min answer →
- Why does universal coverage in Australia still leave some groups with worse access to health care?Assess equity of access to health care in Australia, including barriers faced by priority populations and the strategies designed to overcome them9 min answer →
- Why do health outcomes differ between population groups in Australia, and who is prioritised?Analyse health inequalities between population groups in Australia and explain why specific groups are designated priority populations9 min answer →
- How does Australia promote health, prevent disease, and advocate for healthier conditions?Explain health promotion using the Ottawa Charter, distinguish primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, and analyse the role of advocacy in shaping Australian health outcomes9 min answer →
- What is the health status of Australians, and how is it measured?Investigate the health status of Australians using measures such as life expectancy, mortality, morbidity, burden of disease, incidence and prevalence, and compare to global indicators9 min answer →
- How do the Sustainable Development Goals frame global health, and how does Australia contribute?Explain the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relevant to health and apply them to a current global health issue and Australia's role8 min answer →
- How are technology, digital health and big data reshaping Australian health care, and who benefits?Investigate how technology, digital health and big data influence health outcomes, access and equity in Australia9 min answer →
Focus Area 2: Training for improved performance
Module overview →- How do energy systems and training types interact to produce performance adaptations?Analyse the three energy systems (ATP-PC, anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic) and the training types that target each, with reference to specific sporting contexts9 min answer →
- How are sports injuries prevented, rehabilitated, and managed back to play?Investigate sports injury prevention, rehabilitation, and return-to-play decisions, including risk factors, evidence-based warm-up protocols, rehabilitation phases, return-to-play criteria, and concussion management9 min answer →
- How do coaches monitor, record and evaluate training to know whether the program is working?Examine the tools and methods used to monitor, record and evaluate training load and performance, and explain how the resulting data informs program decisions9 min answer →
- How do nutrition, hydration, supplementation and sleep support training adaptation and performance?Analyse the role of nutrition, hydration, supplementation and sleep in supporting training adaptation, performance and recovery, with reference to evidence-based recommendations9 min answer →
- What physiological adaptations occur in response to training, and over what timeframe?Investigate acute physiological responses (cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular) and chronic adaptations to aerobic and resistance training9 min answer →
- How do the principles of training inform program design?Apply the principles of training (specificity, progressive overload, reversibility, variety, individuality, recovery) to design a training program for a specific performance goal9 min answer →
- How is sporting skill acquired, and what makes practice and feedback most effective?Investigate skill acquisition through the stages of learning, types of practice, types of feedback, and the role of coaching cues; apply the principles to a chosen sporting context9 min answer →
- How are training principles applied to develop strength, power, speed and flexibility, and how are these combined for team-sport athletes?Examine training methods for strength, power, speed and flexibility, and design a periodised plan that integrates these capacities for a chosen athlete9 min answer →
- How does technology shape performance, and what ethical and equity issues does it raise?Investigate the role of technology in performance enhancement, including training monitoring tools, performance-enhancing drugs and anti-doping, technological doping, and the ethical and equity issues these raise across athlete populations9 min answer →
