About this Unit
In 2010 this unit replaced by 400880 - Fundamentals of Exercise Science. This unit provides students with experiences in the Science of Exercise & Sport helping them to determine a career direction. Students meet people from a variety of jobs in the sport, exercise and fitness industries, visit workplaces, and receive career counselling. This helps students identify preferences for professional practice placement. As there is strong competition for sport and exercise science-based employment, it is important to choose the placement agency carefully
