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

Outline Syllabus:Needs analysis: Design a needs analysis for a sport and athlete by identifying empirically informed performance norms, methods of testing and recommendations for programme design. Time-motion analysis: Identify the key performance characteristics of a sport and explain the physiological determinants of performance Warm up: Identify the scientific principles of designing and delivering a warm up Endurance performance: Identify and deliver applied endurance tests and compare data against published norms Anaerobic performance: Identify and deliver applied anaerobic endurance tests and compare data against published norms Speed and change of direction: Identify and deliver tests of speed and change of direction and compare data against published norms Strength and power: Identify and deliver applied tests of strength and power and compare data against published norms Recovery strategies: Identify and deliver scientifically underpinned recovery strategies
