Aims
Students will develop the knowledge and practical skills required for the effective design and implementation of athlete condition programmes. This will build on the skills developed at level 5 in the Physiology of Strength and Conditioning Exercise module and will provide an opportunity for practical application of the training methods introduced.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically analyse the response of the physiological systems during exercise.
2.
Critically evaluate advanced theories of training and conditioning and apply them to sport specific training solutions.
3.
Apply fundamental training theory to the evaluation of contemporary training methods.
