Aims
The aim of this module is to critically examine the reliability of and appraise the merits of monitoring and prescribing exercise for health and/or performance using new 'wearable' technologies. In addition, students will develop their theoretical understanding and practical experience in the construction and delivery of performance and health-related exercise programmes.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate aptitude and an ability to operate at a professional level in laboratories or other complex/specialised contexts
2.
Critically evaluate the effectiveness of advanced methodologies and use evidence to select approaches that are the most appropriate
3.
Develop critical responses to existing theoretical discourses, methodologies or practices and suggest new concepts or approaches
4.
Apply, report and interpret statistical analyses of quantitative data
5.
Undertake analysis of complex, incomplete or contradictory evidence/data and judge the appropriateness of the enquiry method
6.
Accurately and effectively communicate complex scientific information
Module Content
