Devin Stephenson - May 27, 2024

The purpose was to provide our students with a real world experiential learning opportunity to an actively functioning Sport Science facility.

Student's were able to apply the theory we have been covering within the classroom into practical application with highly qualified exercise physiologists, biomechanists & sports scientists guiding them and answering their questions.


Student's had the opportunity to be involved with and observe a VO2Max test, enter the heat chamber, assess their blood oxygen content under simulated altitude, apply themselves to the reaction training tests, and test their power & speed through timing lights and the vertical jump.


This also created an opportunity for students to see the potential pathways for them should they decide to follow their passions into a sporting career.
