Aims
The aim of this module is to develop the student's theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for the promotion of physically active, low sedentary, healthy lifestyles. The structure of this module, and associated modules at level 4 and 6, is guided by the behavioural epidemiology framework. The module also aims to provide practical opportunities to develop skills associated with the assessment of physical activity and sedentary behaviour.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Deploy a physical activity or sedentary behaviour assessment method, analyse and interpret an associated data set, and communicate the findings to a participant in a practical situation
2.
Analyse the strengths and limitations of methods for assessing physical activity and sedentary behaviour
3.
Analyse determinants and correlates of physical activity and sedentary behaviour
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Definitions and concepts underpinning physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and health
Behavioural epidemiology framework
Social-ecological model
Measurement of PA and SB
Determinants and correlates of PA and SB
Communicating PA and SB information
Additional Information:This module is designed to further develop the student’s knowledge and understanding of the principles underpinning the promotion of physically active, low sedentary, healthy lifestyles. This will be evaluated by the completion of the relevant assessment tasks. This module will incorporate support strategies in an attempt to ensure student progression. This will include feed forward and feedback on assessment and personal tutorial support. This will be augmented with various resources that facilitate self directed exploration of the underpinning principles introduced.
