1 About Exercise Testing and Measurement

1.1 An Introduction to this Subject

This subject provides students with an understanding of the safety, ethical, logistical and theoretical considerations for
administering tests and conducting measurements within the Exercise Science scope of practice. Students will develop
skills in data analysis, data visualisation and generating reports to hypothetical clients within the Sport & Exercise
sector. The subject introduces numerous physical and physiological tests, together with performance analysis and
monitoring techniques, with a particular focus on the measurement accuracy of data collected. Students will evaluate
and interpret data from tests to inform further practice in exercise prescription and exercise recommendations.

1.2 What is Expected of You

Study Load

A student is expected to study an hour per credit point a week. For example a 10 credit point Subject would require
10 hours of study per week. This time includes the time spent within classes during lectures, tutorials or practicals.

Note for Summer Terms: As Summer subjects deliver the same content and classes over a shorter period of time,
the subjects are run in a more intensive mode. Regardless of the delivery mode, the study hours for each subject in
Summer will be around 30 hours.

Attendance

It is strongly recommended that students attend all scheduled learning activities to support their learning.

Online Learning Requirements

Subject materials will be made available on the Subject’s vUWS (E-Learning) site (https://vuws.westernsydney.
edu.au/). You are expected to consult vUWS at least twice a week, as all Subject announcements will be made via
vUWS. Teaching and learning materials will be regularly updated and posted online by the teaching team.

Special Requirements

Essential Equipment:
Not Applicable
Legislative Pre-Requisites:
Prior to enrolling in this subject students must have submitted a Student Undertaking Form and undertake to apply
for a National Police Check, which is required to be submitted before placement. Students must also have submitted
a Working with Children Check Student Declaration. Students must hold a valid and current First Aid Certificate
from a Registered Training Organisation. Refer to the Special Requirements website for more information
https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/currentstudents/current_students/enrolment/special_requirements

Policies Related to Teaching and Learning

The University has a number of policies that relate to teaching and learning. Important policies affecting students
include:

– Assessment Policy
– Bullying Prevention Policy and

2
 – Guidelines
– Enrolment Policy
– Examinations Policy
– Review of Grade Policy
– Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy
– Disruption to Studies Policy
– Student Misconduct Rule
– Teaching and Learning - Fundamental Code
– Student Code of Conduct

Academic Integrity and Student Misconduct Rule

Western cares about your success as a student and in your future career. Studying with academic integrity safeguards
your professional reputation and your degree. All Western students must:

– be familiar with the policies listed above;

– apply principles of academic integrity;
– act honestly and ethically in producing all academic work and assessment tasks; and
– submit work that is their own and acknowledge any sources used in their work.

Each time you submit an assessment, you will declare that you have completed it individually, unless it is a group
assignment. In the case of a group assignment, each group member should be ready to document their individual
contribution if needed. You will also declare that no part of your submission has been:

– copied from any other student’s work or from any other source except where appropriate acknowledgement is
made in the assignment;
– submitted by you in another (previous or current) assessment, except where appropriately acknowledged, and
with prior permission from the Subject Coordinator;
– made available to others in any form, where individual work is required;
– written/produced for you by any other person.

The Student Misconduct Rule applies to all students of Western Sydney University including Western Sydney Univer-
sity programs taught by other education providers. You must not engage in academic, research or general misconduct
as defined in the Rule or you may be subject to sanctions. The University considers submitting falsified documentation
in support of requests to redo, resit or extend submissions, including sitting of deferred examinations, as instances of
general misconduct.

More information on studying with integrity is available on the Study with Integrity webpage. It is your responsibility
to apply these principles to all work you submit to the University.

Avoid using external ’support’ sites or other external help

To avoid the risk of your assignment being shared without your knowledge, do not upload your assignment to any
external sites for spelling, grammar or plagiarism checks. Your safest option is to use the free services provided by
Library Study Smart or Studiosity.

Avoid using any websites that:

– allow sharing of assignments or other material

– reward sharing of material with credits, tokens; or access to additional materials/features/services;
– provide answers to textbook or assignment/exam questions;
– provide free sample assignments; and/or include order buttons and prices; and/or
– invite you to submit your assignment for plagiarism or grammar or other checks.

Engagement with academic cheating sites will be regarded as misconduct. Academic cheating services often market
themselves as ’support’. Engagement with these sites includes:

3
 – Sharing assignments or course material;
– Using online tools provided by these sites to check for plagiarism, grammar or spelling; and/or
– Purchasing writing services, or obtaining a copy of an assignment.

Uploading your work to these sites may lead to your work being shared with others with or without your knowledge
and consent.

The Australian Government monitors current and past students’ use of academic cheating services, and may report
student material found on these sites or other forms of engagement to universities.

Current students with items found on academic cheating sites face sanctions under the Student Misconduct Rule.
Outcomes for graduates may include revocation of award. For more information see https://www.westernsydney.
edu.au/currentstudents/current_students/student_misconduct_rule.

More advice can be found on the Study with Integrity webpage.

Need help?

If you are having difficulties with understanding or completing an assessment task, contact your Subject Coordinator
as soon as possible. Western also has a range of academic support services, including:

– Library Study Smart: book a one-to-one Zoom consultation with a literacy expert. You can discuss how
to develop your assignment writing and study skills or seek assistance to understand referencing and citation
requirements. Check the Library Study Smart website for how-to study guides and tools.
– Studiosity: Upload your assignment draft to Studiosity within vUWS to receive writing feedback within 24
hours.
– Online workshops, programs and resources: From maths and stats help to academic literacy and peer support
programs, the University has a range of resources to assist.

Please also remember that there is a range of wellbeing support available - from counselling and disability services to
welfare.

1.3 Changes to Subject as a Result of Past Student Feedback

The University values student feedback in order to improve the quality of its educational programs. The feedback
provided helps us improve teaching methods and Subjects of study. The survey results inform Subject content and
design, learning guides, teaching methods, assessment processes and teaching materials.

You are welcome to provide feedback that is related to the teaching of this Subject. At the end of the semester you
will be given the opportunity to complete a Student Feedback on Subject (SFU) questionnaire to assess the Subject.
You may also have the opportunity to complete a Student Feedback on Teaching (SFT) questionnaire to provide
feedback for individual teaching staff.

As a result of student feedback, the following changes and improvements to this subject have recently been made:

– While segments of this subject will remain online, an increase in practical content has been implemented to
allow for both increased hands on experience and face to face time with teaching staff and fellow students.

2 Assessment Information

2.1 Subject Learning Outcomes

Becoming a professional in this field requires a conceptual and theoretical understanding of testing and measurement
procedures that are relevant to the subject. This subject aims to introduce the conceptual and theoretical framework
that underpins the successful and accurate administration of an exercise test or measurement. Upon successfully
completing this subject, you should be able to:

Outcome
1 Identify or apply the correct test based on demographics, risk assessment, and health guidelines
2 Apply measurement accuracy concepts to exercise testing and measurement
3 Evaluate the feasibility of different tests according to environmental conditions and client characteristics
4 Demonstrate basic data processing and analytical techniques
5 Visualise data with consideration for measurement accuracy
6 Appropriately interpret results with respect to established normative data and measurement considerations
7 Communicate test results and their implications to hypothetical client scenarios

2.2 Approach to Learning

Traditional lecture content in this subject is provided via online recordings (available on vUWS). During these seminars,
content is discussed and many examples and applications are provided to enhance student learning. Listening and/or
watching the online seminar recordings will help focus your learning and revision efforts toward the most important
concepts and applications covered and assessed in the subject.

Practical laboratory and tutorial class activities are designed to:

– Develop essential practical skills required to work as an exercise scientist.

– Complement and expand on the content presented in seminars.

Although not compulsory, students not attending these sessions will not be allowed to complete assessments linked
with this content (e.g. client reports), and thus lose either all or a portion of 20% of their overall mark. However,
consideration may be given by the subject coordinator to students who are absent from any of the laboratory/practical
classes for reasons of misadventure or accident or extenuating circumstances (which are those circumstances beyond
the student’s control). The University also recognises that there will be occasions of state and national significance
in sporting, cultural, military, emergency service or legal domains that may be beyond the student’s control and
may require attendance which interferes with teaching/learning and/or assessment tasks. Where such circumstances
can be demonstrated, a student may ask that Special Consideration be given for the assessment task (or tasks) or
teaching/learning tasks/s so affected. In the case where assessment tasks are affected. After completing the form
and attaching the evidence, the documents must be delivered to a Student Centre in the time frame advised on the
form.

Dr. Norris is responsible for the assessment of all requests for special consideration for missing practical classes in this
subject. Students with queries about attendance or other special consideration matters MUST contact Dr. Norris. It
is a good idea to contact Dr. Norris (e.g. by e-mail) as soon as you know that you will be absent. This notification,
however, does not diminish or waive your responsibility to comply with any of the requirements that are mentioned
above.

5
Seminar notes and laboratory worksheets will be made available on the E-Learning (Blackboard) link on The University
home page vuws.westernsydney.edu.au.
Students are expected to consult the subject Blackboard site at least twice a week, as all announcements will be
made via this site and teaching material will be regularly updated and posted online.
