Aims

To develop the students’ knowledge, understanding and practical experience of appropriate strength and conditioning techniques.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Critically appraise current literature on the appropriate use of specific strength and conditioning exercises and training strategies for optimising physical performance.
2.
Critically appraise how developments in technology have improved our ability to assess human physical performance in applied practice.
3.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:• Fundamental lifting • Snatch lifting • Clean & jerk lifting • Stability/plyometric/speed/agility training methodologies
Module Overview:
This module provides students with fundamental applied strength and conditioning practices through lectures and practical participation. It encourages critical understanding of the science underpinning applied strength and conditioning practices, specifically the use of strength and conditioning exercises and training strategies for optimising physical performance. The module will provide the opportunity to demonstrate a critical analysis of strength, power and speed continuum as an established principle in strength and conditioning. You will receive three hours direct contact per week and stimulus lectures on the topics concerned.
Additional Information:This module is designed to increase the students’ knowledge, understanding and practical experience of appropriate strength and conditioning techniques.
