Aims
Building on the foundations of Exercise Physiology and Human Movement modules in year one, this Strength and Conditioning module will provide sport coaching students with the opportunity to learn and understand the principles and concepts needed to improve the physical performance of a participant or team and make recommendations for programme design. Specifically, students will develop the knowledge and skills needed to, design and perform a needs analysis of a sport and athlete, analyse testing data against theoretical and empirical norms and to recommend an appropriate training intervention. Importantly, students will also gain the knowledge needed to create and work in a safe coaching environment.
Module Content
