Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

utilises knowledge of energy systems and muscle groups to interpret how different conditioning applies to individual golf positions and swings

identifies over training symptoms, and seeks advice from specialists to plan and implement a recovery plan

communicates with coaches or mentors and specialists throughout conditioning, and responds to feedback

evaluates conditioning sessions and reviews own performance to identify strengths and areas requiring improvement and or modifications.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure participation in conditioning sessions to improve endurance, strength, power and flexibility that are of a sufficient duration to demonstrate competence, consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

suitable facilities, such as gyms and golf training greens

up to date testing equipment and facilities

a coach or mentor to give instructions and feedback

support staff, such as specialist conditioning coaches and dieticians

conditioning equipment, such as cardiovascular equipment, free weight equipment and resistance equipment

current relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures that impact on the conduct of conditioning sessions.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

observation of performance and improvement of fitness components, such as endurance, strength, power and flexibility during conditioning sessions and golf games

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of physiological elements of fitness, such as energy systems and muscle groups

observation of interactions with specialists on topics such as over training symptoms, and conditioning techniques for the improvement of fitness components

third-party reports from coaches or specialists detailing conditioning performance.

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

communication skills to:

discuss and determine fitness components requiring improvement with coaches and other specialists

seek and follow advice from specialists in developing recovery plans for over training

communicate and update progress during conditioning

language and literacy skills to access, interpret and apply information about the basic energy systems and muscle groups to help prevent injury

self-management skills to:

review and reflect on own conditioning and fitness performance

organise time and priorities effectively

set short, medium and long term goals

ability to perform fundamental motor skills

demonstrated minimum level of aerobic function to walk an average of 7-8 kilometres in variable climate and terrain when playing 18 holes in approximately 4-5 hours.

Required knowledge

legislation and organisational policies and procedures to enable safe participation during conditioning

self-reflection principles to enable effective self-evaluation for future improvement

basic energy systems, muscle groups and correct use of equipment to prevent injury

fitness components required to improve and maintain physical conditioning for playing golf

appropriate nutrition and fluid replacement requirements for a golf player during fitness and conditioning sessions

injury prevention and management to enable conditioning techniques to be applied safely

over training symptoms to enable these to be addressed promptly.
