Learning Intention: We will be able to analyse the nature of the fitness industry in Australia
While some industries in Australia were considerably affected by the recent global economic downturn, the fitness industry has been growing steadily over the past few years. The Australian government is making a significant effort to encourage Australians to adopt a healthier lifestyle, resulting in a greater demand for fitness products and services.
Keeping Aussies healthy and fit is big business. The fitness industry in Australia generates an average of about one billion dollars in revenue on an annual basis.
According to a study conducted by the United Nations, Australia is the fifth most obese country in the world, with about 24.6 percent of its citizens considered obese. If the current trend is not slowed down or reversed, it is estimated that almost three out of four Australians will be obese or overweight in 2025.

Learning Intention: We will be able to reflect on planned exercise prescriptions for different individuals
Regular physical activity has been regarded as an important component of a healthy lifestyle and has been proven to increase longevity and the overall quality of life.
Exercise prescription commonly refers to the specific plan of fitness-related activities that are designed for a specified purpose, which is often developed by a fitness or rehabilitation specialist for the client or patient. Specific instruction should be given to the patient or client as to the type, frequency, intensity and duration of exercise. This is most readily achieved through a written exercise prescription program.
