Track your endurance with Federation University Australia

If you’re in the process of preparing for an endurance event, you need to be able to quantify your progress. Monitoring your performance and measuring your fitness will help you train more safely and sustainably.

On this second of three endurance courses from Federation University Australia, you’ll learn how to identify your needs, look after your body, and avoid overstretching yourself.

Learn how to harness training data to measure your fitness

You’ll start with an introduction to data collection and analysis.

Exploring a range of monitoring methods and strategies, you’ll learn how to measure your fitness, generate training data, and analyse your results to define your training plan.

Understand the importance of recovery in endurance training

Allowing yourself time for rest and recovery will help you progress faster and prevent overtraining.

In Week 2 of the course, you’ll master the principles of recovery, and learn how to assess when enough rest is enough.

Explore the role of resistance training in injury prevention

The benefits of resistance training are numerous: building muscular strength and bone density, protecting joints from injury, bringing balance to your fitness programme.

In the last week of the course, you’ll understand how incorporating resistance training could reduce the risk of injury and ensure you meet your fitness goals.

With this knowledge, you’ll be prepared to complete the third and final course of the track.

    Recovery principles & practices

    • Achieving a healthy balance

      Your body develops through physical adaptation to stimuli, but it also requires rest and recovery. We look at the strategies and methods that one can employ to achieve ideal benefits.

    • Take care of yourself

      Your wellbeing is of paramount importance regardless of your training ambitions or goals. Finding that balance between rest and training is essential if you are to reach your goals.

      Through reviewing your training program, the goal is to find ways to not only improve your physical performance but to also reduce the risks encountered by the athlete through training.

    • Avoiding injury and reducing risks

      Ensuring the athlete remains fit and healthy should remain a priority. Knowing what practices are effective, and which ones to avoid, is vital for any athlete or coach.

    • Bringing it all together

      Through a better understanding of how the human body reacts to physical stimuli, a more effective approach to training can be achieved. The goal is, as always, to look after the athlete while hitting goals.
