Program Overview

ONSPMG801 Human Performance Optimisation

This course explores the physiological foundations of human performance and how they can be optimised through evidence-informed strategies to support behavioural change. Students examine key systems, recovery, adaptation, and environmental stressors, with applied use of performance technologies, nutrition, and monitoring tools. The course integrates biological principles, cultural responsiveness, and practical application to equip students with a systems-level understanding of how the body responds to cognitive, physical, and travel-related stressors, and how to implement protocols to sustain performance in sport, tactical, and emergency service environments.
