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.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Design, justify and perform a needs analysis of a sport and athlete.
2.
Analyse needs analysis data against norms found within academic literature.
3.
Provide training recommendations underpinned by physiological and biomechanical determinants of performance.
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
Module Overview:
You will learn how to implement strength and conditioning concepts and principles in the applied sporting environment. You will gain the opportunity to practice and explore the correct ways to administer safe and effective training-interventions and gain an awareness of how to monitor and evaluate the needs of individual participants from a range of applied environments.
