As part of their VCE VET Sport and Recreation Unit 2 studies, our Year 11 students had the opportunity to visit La Trobe University and their state-of-the-art sport science lab which boasts titles such as having the most Vo2 max testing machines in the world (with the exception of NASA).
While at the venue, our Senior students participated in a range of fitness testing designed for elite athletes such as the Wingate anaerobic power test and the Vo2 maximum test designed to test students’ ability to efficiently use oxygen during exercise.
The students consolidated their knowledge on energy system interplay from their unit ‘Participate in Sport Conditioning’ and enjoyed the day as a whole.
