Aims

To develop the student’s knowledge, understanding and practical experience of different methods of developing strength and conditioning aims as part of the process of strength and conditioning programme design. This will include methods of communicating, assessing, implementing and reviewing strength and conditioning aims.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Critically evaluate the current literature on the appropriate use of different athlete assessment and gap analysis methods for the development of strength and conditioning training aims.
2.
Critically evaluate the different methods of incorporating assessment data in the development of strength and conditioning aims and an effective periodised strength and conditioning programme.
3.
Critically evaluate the different methods of implementing a periodised strength and conditioning programme and monitoring progress against the established strength and conditioning training aims.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Lectures, Practical workshops, Self-directed learning
Module Overview:
This module provides 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: athlete and sport assessment to determine training aims; programme design and periodisation; implementation and monitoring of programmes and programme considerations for different genders and age. The module will develop the capacity to critically analyse the application of these skills and supporting scientific evidence. 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 different methods of developing strength and conditioning aims as part of the process of strength and conditioning programme design. This will include methods of communicating, assessing, implementing and reviewing strength and conditioning aims.
