The presentation will also include evidence of completion of tasks relating to fitness testing, training, coaching and exercise design that are covered in the practical sessions of the module. Introduction Your exercise choices should suit the needs of a specific athlete. Therefore, a brief needs analysis of the requirements of the sport the athlete is training for should be provided.

Stage 2: This should be based on a regressed (scaled) version of the original exercise: Discuss and demonstrate how you would coach your client through one or several regressed versions of the original exercise that would allow the client to progress to the original exercise. Provide a rationale for the exercise choice(s) based on the needs of the athlete or the sport.
