Aims
This module introduces students to the applied field of strength and conditioning (S&C). S&C is an evolving discipline that focuses on developing and maximising the physical and performance characteristics of sports participants along the sports pathway. In order to do so, students will be exposed to the application scientific principles (e.g. anatomy & physiology, biomechanics and training theory) underpinning human movement and performance. The module will be delivered in classrooms and practical spaces.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Illustrate the key physiological principles underpinning programme design
2.
Demonstrate knowledge of training practices used to developing specific physical and performance characteristics
3.
Demonstrate knowledge of methods used to evaluate underpinning characteristics related to performance
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:• How does the body produce movement?
• Why do I need to know about energy systems?
• Why is understanding movement in sport so important to coaches?
• Why do I need to do a warm up and cool down?
• How do different movements impact my ability to produce force?
• How can I get faster, quicker and more agile?
• How can I get stronger and more powerful?
• How can I improve my ability to perform repeated sprints?
• How can simple data show me how I am improving my performances?
• How do different impairments impact performance and training goals?
