<strong>Sport</strong>s performance<br />
The <strong>Sport</strong>s Performance Unit (SPU) has enjoyed<br />
working with <strong>Tasmanian</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sport</strong> (TIS) athletes<br />
and coaches over the past year. Services have<br />
included physical preparation, sports science testing,<br />
video analysis, sports medicine, psychology and Talent<br />
Identification (TID).<br />
The SPU has been busy with <strong>Tasmanian</strong>-based athletes,<br />
with our main activities including:<br />
• Obtaining quadrennial accreditation for sports science.<br />
• Growth <strong>of</strong> physical preparation services.<br />
• Level three accreditation <strong>of</strong> the Launceston<br />
strength facility.<br />
• Continued support to Elite Development Program<br />
(EDP) and National Training Centre (NTC) squads.<br />
• Applied research with the University <strong>of</strong> Tasmania.<br />
• Restructuring <strong>of</strong> Talent Identification.<br />
The SPU has obtained its National <strong>Sport</strong>s Science<br />
Quality Assurance (NSSQA) accreditation certificates.<br />
Laboratory Technician Inge Hillier coordinated<br />
the documentation and procedures for the accreditation<br />
process. The TIS is one <strong>of</strong> a few institutes to have<br />
maintained accreditation over the history <strong>of</strong> the program.<br />
Furthermore, we are proud to have gained level<br />
three recognition, which is the highest level, for our<br />
Launceston-based strength facility.<br />
