Sporting performance is influenced by much more than natural ability. From how the body moves and responds to exercise, to the factors that support performance and recovery, sports science helps us understand what allows athletes to perform at their best.
In this course, students will discover the science behind sporting performance through an engaging introduction to sports science. Developed in collaboration with Deakin University, the program will introduce students to a selection of topics across the field, combining expert insights with interactive learning activities.
Across the week, students will explore different aspects of sports science and develop a broader understanding of how scientific principles can be applied to sport and performance. Through a combination of live online sessions and self-paced learning, students will have the opportunity to investigate new ideas and experience Haileybury Pangea’s flexible approach to online learning.
This course is pitched at Years 8–10 students with an interest in sport, science or human performance. Whether students are aspiring athletes or simply curious about the field, the program provides an accessible introduction to sports science and the study and career pathways it can lead to.
