Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

applies sport-specific nutritional knowledge to assess different dietary strategies for optimising an athlete's body composition and sporting performance

designs a diet that will provide nutritional requirements throughout training and modifies the diet to address changing competition and recovery needs

evaluates the effectiveness of the diet and adapts it to better enhance performance in relevant sport.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure preparation and modification of training, competition and recovery diets specific to the requirements of the candidate's current or intended work environment to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance

Assessment must also ensure access to:

information on nutritional requirements for the relevant sport and the nutritional values of different diets in optimising sporting performance.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of nutritional requirements for training, competition and recovery

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance

portfolio showing preparation of an athlete's diet and modifications made for different requirements such as training, competition and recovery.

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

sport-specific activity units.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

problem-solving skills to:

assess the effectiveness of an eating plan to enhance performance during training, competition and in aiding recovery post training

make appropriate modifications to the eating plan

literacy and numeracy skills to source and interpret information about nutrition requirements for the relevant sport.

Required knowledge

dietary needs for the relevant sport to enable design of an appropriate eating plan

nutritional principles and effects of nutrition to enable the preparation of a beneficial eating plan to optimise body composition and sporting performance

fluids maintenance and replenishment during competition or recovery as part of an effective eating plan

benefits of recovery eating after competition

the effects of a poor diet on sporting performance to enable these to be identified and addressed

the physiological characteristics of diet in order to design an appropriate diet for athletes.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Dietary strategies may include:

low fat versus low kilojoule diets

reducing body fat not muscle

carbohydrate loading

regularity of meals

dietary supplements

hydration.

Effects may include:

increase in performance

increase in energy

increase in concentration

increase in reaction times.

Nutritional requirements may include:

high carbohydrate

low fat

balanced fluids

high GI factor

low fibre

moderate protein

eating timeframes.

Physiological requirements may include:

fat to muscle ratio

metabolic rate.

Benefits of carbohydrate loading may include:

stored energy
