ACHIEVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Many different factors influence our wellbeing. What we do and what we put in our bodies has a direct impact on the way we feel. A person's physical, social and cultural environments are all factors which may improve or hinder a person's lifestyle, as well as their family influences and peer groups. In Achieve a Healthy Lifestyle we investigate the three main aspects of health: physical, psychological and social. We also discuss physical activity, healthy food choice and appropriate decision making with regard to drug use and risk taking situations. It's all up to us as individuals. We are in control and can change anytime we want.

BODY IN MOTION, THE: AN INTRODUCTION

The human body is always on the move. Whether we are jumping, running or sitting still; blood is pumping, muscles are contracting, and joints are moving. The body's internal systems perform complex processes every second of every day, so we can spend our time doing whatever we need to. This Australian-made, curriculum fit program takes us inside the human body, showing us just how the musculoskeletal and cardio-respiratory systems work and how they influence and respond to movement. This information-packed program is presented in a clear and logical format, with vivid animations and real-life examples that will engage viewers from start to finish.

BODY IN MOTION, THE: FITNESS, SKILL AND TRAINING

When beginning any health and fitness program we need to test our health-related and skill-related components of fitness in order to expose our strengths and weakness and to determine what components we need to work on. This doesn't just apply to a trained athlete, but is just as relevant to the untrained person of any age. In this Australian-made, curriculum fit program we learn practical tests that measure the health-related and skill-related components of fitness, how to apply the FITT principle to a training program, and what happens to the cardio-respiratory system when we exercise.

BODY IN MOTION, THE: INFLUENCES ON MOVEMENT

How can we use biomechanical principles to enhance performance? Trained athletes, fitness fanatics, and casual exercisers alike can all benefit from an understanding of biomechanics. In this Australian-made, curriculum fit program we see the main types of motion in action and learn how to calculate velocity, acceleration and momentum. We examine the two types of balance, discover the importance of knowing your centre of gravity and learn how to calculate force. We also explore the principles of fluid mechanics, including buoyancy, displacement and resistance. This is an action-packed, insightful examination of the mechanics of our bodies in motion.

EVALUATING A TRAINING PROGRAM

The body of an athlete is the vehicle for achieving greatness. But this vehicle needs to be constantly maintained, repaired and improved. Greatness begins long before you step onto the sporting arena, it builds with each step you take, and a successful training program makes sure those steps are taking you in the right direction. All sports are different and so are the athletes, so training programs need to be tailored specifically to the athlete and the sport being played. This program identifies the key components of an effective training program and investigates the methods used to evaluate, modify and improve all training programs.

IMPROVING PERFORMANCE: ELITE ATHLETE CASE STUDIES

Elite athletes employ simple strategies and techniques to improve performance.

This insightful program takes us trackside to the training grounds of eight sportspeople from around the world, who share their personal insights and stories of performance training. We learn how to plan an effective training schedule and discuss the importance of psychological preparation.

SKILL ACQUISITION FOR SPORTS PERFORMANCE

The ultimate goal of any aspiring athlete is to execute skills with form and efficiency. This program provides a detailed theoretical understanding of how skills are developed and honed to an elite level. We learn the difference between skills and abilities, explore types of skills, step through the three stages of skill acquisition, and discuss how everyone learns at a different rate.

FAIR PLAY IN SPORT: THE ROLE OF UMPIRES AND REFEREES

The leadership role that umpires take on requires intimate knowledge of the game, split-second decision-making skills and excellent communication abilities, all while racing up and down a field of play! It's no easy task, but the world of sport can offer exciting international careers or very satisfying healthy hobbies to those who do their job well. In this program we see exactly why umpires are vital for any competitive game, look at the importance of a complete understanding of the rules, examine what makes a good umpire, establish how to deal with trouble on and off the field and finally hear how to forge a career in umpiring. With expert input from elite and non-professional umpires in soccer, tennis, basketball and AFL, this is a practical and inspiring program introducing the key concepts of umpiring to students.

MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE, A: SPORTS AND THE MEDIA

Can you imagine a summer without cricket on the radio? A winter without footy on the TV? Sport has permeated the Australian media for as long as we can remember, and the media have fashioned sports coverage for just as long; it's a relationship that nourishes both sides. But what are we, the consumers, really getting out of it? Is it promoting health and fitness or just creating unattainable body images? What about the violence and anti-social behaviour? What about women's sports, relegated to lacklustre timeslots? And is there just plain too much of it? In this program we look at the positives and negatives of this most convenient of media marriages.

SETTING THE PACE: WOMEN AND SPORT

In today's sporting culture, be it swimming, running or even vaulting, many of the athletes that capture our nation's imagination and inspire us all, are women. In this program we explore physical activity and its pertinence to women. We consider the benefits of activity in general, but also explore the specific benefits of exercise and activity during menopause, pregnancy and as a means of alleviating biological stress. We also explore the history of women in sports and help students to develop an understanding of the difference between women and men's participation levels in sport and activity. This program is both a practical and inspirational story for young women everywhere.

SPORTS INJURIES: CLASSIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT

This program is a comprehensive guide to the classification and management of sports injuries. Wendy Braybon, head physiotherapist at the Victorian Institute of Sport, shows us how to classify and manage soft tissue injuries (such as sprains, skin abrasions, lacerations, and blisters) and hard tissue injuries (fractures and dislocations). We learn to apply the RICER technique for managing soft tissue injuries and the TOTAPS and DRABC techniques for assessing and managing hard tissue injuries. Throughout the program we see detailed graphics and real-life examples of different injuries, talk to Paralympian Jessica Gallagher, and see dramatised scenarios demonstrating key injury management techniques.
