About the major
High Performance in Sport represents the pinnacle context of sports science application.
You will learn:
- How interdisciplinary factors influence high performance and the athletic development process.
- To apply measurement and testing techniques to evaluate athletic performance.
- To interpret athletic performance data, synthesise research evidence and practical knowledge, identify strategies/solutions to refine best practices, and design appropriate training/intervention programs.
Requirements for completion
The High Performance in Sport major and minor requirements are listed in the High Performance in Sport table.

Learning outcomes
| No. | Learning outcome |
|---|---|
| 1 | Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the multiple (inter-disciplinary sport science) factors influencing high performance, and the athletic development process, in different sport settings. |
| 2 | Be able to apply a range of different measurement or testing techniques along with accompanying analytical approaches to assess and evaluate athletic performance within specific sport settings. |
| 3 | Be able to synthesise research evidence and applied practice knowledge to design appropriate training/intervention programs which target either facets of athletic development, performance improvement, or injury prevention. |
| 4 | Demonstrate the ability to review and interpret data associated with athletic performance; summarise and present findings; and identify strategies/solutions to refine best practice at a practitioner or organisational level to facilitate high performance. |
