6 adults (2 male, 4 female) aged between 22-31 years. All apparently healthy with goals to increase fitness levels.
Conducted an outdoor group fitness session. Instructed a cardio warm –up of jogging and stretching for 10 mins. Demonstrated circuit aerobic activities (such as step-ups, ladder runs & burpees) and resistance exercise using body weight, medicine balls and dumbbells (such as chest press, tricep dips & push-ups). Motivated clients during the circuit class as well as illustrated appropriate techniques. Varied the levels of exercises to suit differing fitness levels such as level 1, 2 & 3 push-up modes (45 mins). Instructed the cool-down with stretches (5 mins).
Design exercise session. Plan exercise stations, including both aerobic & resistance exercises. Ensure that exercises chosen can be modified for varying fitness levels.
Find a large grassed area with some shade in park. Set-up each circuit station with weights, mats, balls etc ready for outdoor exercise session.

Group of 24 women aged between 17 and 21 years old. Strength & conditioning training program for sports team.
Strength and conditioning training for QLD women’s state development program (U21’s) hockey team. My role initially involved assessing and recording fitness data for the team (pre-season). These tests included: weight (digital scales), height (stadiometer), BMI, body composition (skinfolds), muscular strength (3RM chest, legs, arms, abdominals) and aerobic fitness (VO2max). All data was recorded and entered into the computer. This information was then used to design and implement conditioning programs to maximise the strength, power and endurance performance of the team. It also aims at preventing injury. I was involved in developing the exercise program with the head coaches & health professionals as well as assist with the implementation and delivery. At the gym my duties were to assist with exercise technique, ensure safe use of machines, and collect RPE data. The strength and conditioning sessions mainly involved aerobic, resistance and flexibility exercises being progressively overloaded from the previous session. The modes of exercise altered to maintain interest & incorporate cross training. Plyometric and power exercises (anaerobic) were sometimes added into the exercise programs. Please refer to the two attached example programs for a more detailed description.

All players were fitted with a shoulder harness with the GPS monitor fitted between the shoulder blades to obtain match data. (30 mins) Following the match, data from all units were downloaded into the GPSports analysis software to prepare individual player reports including: total distance, total match time, maximum speed, average speed, acceleration and time spent in 5 different speed zones (1 hr). This data was then given to the head strength and conditioning coach who uses this information to help determine training loads that are appropriate for different playing positions.

Four amateur male golfers aged 22, 25, 23 and 27. Data collection for a research study into back muscle activation during golf swing.
I was a research assistant for an investigation into truck activation during golf swing. My role was to collect and record data for four subjects. These included taking height and body mass. It also included setting up each subject with surface EMG on their erector spinae, external obliques, rectus abominus and latissumus dorsi. This involved shaving and cleaning the skins surface with alcohol and placing the pairs of bipolar surface electrodes on both sides of the body. Reference electrodes were also positioned over spinous processes. Each subject was then instructed to perform a total of 15 golf swings with a driver. This was conducted every 2.5 minutes to eliminate fatigue. During this time, my roles were to continuously monitor positioning and contact of electrodes on the truck as well as monitor quality signal from the EMG. I also had to upload the collected EMG data onto the study laptop into the appropriate folder as well as check the figures to ensure that a retrial did not have to be undertaken. When all the swing trials were completed, I removed the electrodes from the subject &

An elite male triathlete aged 27 years old. No current injuries.
I assisted an accredited exercise physiologist conduct two separate V02 max tests with blood lactate on an elite triathlete in our university laboratory. These were conducted one week apart. The testing was conducted to determine training zones/ranges.
Pre-test assessments: My role was to assist with the set-up and conduction of the V02 max test, as well as take weight, height and body composition measurements before the first test. The BodPod was used to measure body composition. I calibrated the machine and ensured the subject was dressed appropriately (cap & nose plug), then sat with the AEP at the computer whilst the testing was undertaken (5 minutes).
V02 max test: For both tests (cycle and treadmill) we used the CosMed K4B2, which is a portable and mobile V02 testing unit. I was responsible for calibrating the device, setting up the machine to collect heart rate and gas exchange, placing the device on the subjects back and ensuring the face mask had a good seal around the nose and mouth. Once the test had commenced, it was my duty to progressively increase the speed of the treadmill (2km/hr every 2 mins) or load on the bicycle (50 W every 3 mins). I also took blood lactate measurements every 30 seconds before the end of each stage (using lactate pro machine). At completion of the V02max test, I removed all equipment attached to the subject.

shoulder flexibility
7 level abdominal test
5 min Harvard Step test After each testing session, BMI, waist to hip ratio and step test result were calculated. The client was taken through their results and compared to the available norm values. From these results, recommendations were made regarding an exercise program. Client 1 - had reduced shoulder flexibility and was shown some upper body flexibility exercises Client 2 - performed well on all tests and gave advice about cross training to vary from his usual daily walk Client 3 - scored very high on step test but poorly on flexibility and abdominal tests.

Prepared client measuring resting blood pressure and set up 12 lead ECG leads, gave instructions about the format of the test and how to walk on the treadmill if they weren’t familiar. The Bruce protocol was used in these testing session and was performed with a Cardiologist present. My role during the test was to control the treadmill. The cardiologist would discuss any abnormal ECG rhythms with me afterwards and expect me to explain what I thought the arrhythmias were and how they may affect exercise and was it appropriate if they were to participate in exercise.
