Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply principles associated with kinesiology, biomechanics and human behaviour to a physical conditioning regime.
Application of the Unit
This unit applies to individuals who need to maintain peak fitness for performances that require a high level of movement skills. Physical conditioning is a vital aspect of a performer’s daily routine and requires a full understanding of movement philosophies and their application to physical conditioning regimes. Exercise programs could be undertaken in a performance space or other locations, such as fitness studios and gyms.
Work performed requires a range of well-developed skills where some discretion and judgement are required and individuals are expected to take responsibility for their own outputs.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Pre-Requisites
Not applicable.
Employability Skills Information
This unit contains employability skills.
Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content

Element |
Performance Criteria |
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
|
1. Refine understanding of human movement principles |
1.1. Discuss the principles of kinaesthetic learning with relevant personnel and how these can be applied to physical conditioning activities aimed at improving movement 1.2. Discuss with relevant personnel ways in which the principles of kinesiology and biomechanics can contribute to the safe acquisition of dance technique or movement skills 1.3. Become familiar with the basic principles underpinning a range of somatic methods or movement philosophies 1.4. Use anatomical and movement terminology correctly |
|
2. Apply somatic processes to physical conditioning for performance |
2.1. Incorporate into physical conditioning activities aspects of somatic methods that match own performance requirements 2.2. Discuss with relevant personnel somatic self-observation processes and how these can be applied to physical conditioning activities 2.3. Work towards achieving somatic postural ideals through applying somatic self-observation processes 2.4. Always perform warm-up and cool-down procedures in conjunction with movement activities 2.5. Through pre and post-activity fitness appraisals identify contraindicated movement activities and take steps to rectify as required |
|
3. Apply motivational and behavioural techniques to enhance performance |
3.1. Discuss with relevant personnel strategies and psychological tools to enhance resilience and improve performance technique 3.2. Incorporate understanding of the effects of motivation on physical condition of the human body into physical conditioning program 3.3. Apply the principles of internal imagery to improve motivation and performance |
Required Skills and Knowledge
This section describes the skills and knowledge required for this unit.
Required skills
- communication skills to:

- nutrition
- injury prevention
- foot care
- effect of different exercise routines on gender-specific physical attributes
- muscular strength
- skeletal differences
- biological systems
- developing the human capacity for self-awareness
- directing attention to the process of acting, rather than outcomes

- cognitive-behavioural theory and associated tools.
Evidence Guide
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Method of assessment |
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
