This aim of this course is to develop a range of research skills required to develop an independent study in sport and exercise or clinical exercise physiology. The course draws together information and insights provided throughout the program. Students will be provided the opportunity to revise and refine research skills and to critically review information required to develop an independent study proposal. The skill to evaluate research reports and use the implications of the reports to guide evidence-based research as part of professional practice is highlighted.

This course will provide students with the skills and knowledge required to formulate, after critical review of relevant literature, technology and resources, a relevant research proposal in an area of sport and exercise science or clinical exercise physiology. Students will have pre-requisite knowledge in the key disciplines of sport and exercise science and research methods. Skills will be developed to allow for the evaluation of research studies, and highlight the importance of applying latest research from relevant disciplines to ensure best professional practice. Students will be required to undertake a critical review of the literature. The development of a research project will provide the practical skills to undertake evidence-based research as a normal part of professional practice and as a contribution to knowledge and practice in the area of sport and exercise or clinical exercise physiology.

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

1. Identify a relevant approved research topic of interest in the area of sport and exercise science or clinical exercise physiology.
2. Refine and incorporate relevant research and discipline skills and information in the design of an independent study.
3. On completion of this course students should be able to identify relevant technology and resources to undertake independent research.
4. Develop the skills required to undertake a literature review, write a research proposal and present this proposal.
5. Evaluate the independent research study undertaken (including reflection of personal aptitude) and hypothesise about the implications of the completed study to various study areas of exercise science and professional practice.
