Aims

Students will learn how to implement strength and conditioning concepts and principles in the applied sporting environment. Specifically, students will develop knowledge of programme design through an improved awareness of ‘periodisation’ and ‘programme delivery’. Students will gain the opportunity to practice and explore the correct ways to administer safe and effective training-interventions. Students will also gain an awareness of how to ‘monitor and evaluate’ the needs of individual participants from a range of applied environments. The module will be delivered in classrooms and practical spaces.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Design and implement safe and effective training strategies for specific sporting contexts
2.
Analyse the physical, physiological and performance requirements for a participant in relation to a performance goal
3.
Apply strength and conditioning principles in programme design to augment identified performance outcomes

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:• Why is force production so important for sport performance? • In what ways do sports and their performers differ in their training goals? • Can I get someone aerobically fit and strong simultaneously? • How can I increase sport specific conditioning in team sports? • What foundations do I need to build before I see improvements in performance? • How do I know when athletes are overtraining? • How can simple data show me how I am improving? • How does nutrition support training goals? • How does all this stuff fit into a 6 week training programme? • What considerations are needed when developing a programme for disabled population group?
