Aims
To expand knowledge and practical experience of the theoretical underpinnings, which inform strength & conditioning practices to enhance physical capabilities and return to performance post injury. This will include systematic appraisal, critical evaluation and a comprehensive understanding of key physiological and biomechanical principles, alongside the assessment and monitoring of responses and adaptations related to resistance training, conditioning and rehabilitation application.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Systematically appraise current literature to gain a comprehensive understanding of key physiological and biomechanical principles, which relate to the effective development of strength and conditioning practices for the enhancement of physical performance
2.
Critically evaluate laboratory and/or field based assessment and monitoring methodologies, which examine physical performance capabilities and training responses/adaptations
3.
Systematically appraise current literature to gain a comprehensive understanding of the pathology and aetiology of injury, to inform the effective development of rehabilitation practices for return to performance
4.
Critically evaluate the requirements of specific contexts to effectively plan, design and review rehabilitation programmes for return to performance post injury
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Principles of hypertrophy | force production | rate of force development | stretch shortening cycle | kinetics & kinematics | muscle actions | recovery mechanisms | biomechanics of speed/agility | physiology of conditioning | early to late rehabilitation

Module Overview:
This module is designed to enhance theoretical foundations for strength & conditioning and rehabilitation practices through three direct contact hours per week. The module will provide the opportunity to demonstrate systematic appraisal, critical evaluation and a comprehensive understanding of the underpinning research and practice related to enhancing physical capabilities and return to performance post injury. This will include specific in person lectures and practicals covering the key principles of physiology and biomechanics, alongside laboratory and/or field based assessment and monitoring methodologies. This will be specifically assessed via relevant examination formats aligned to the competencies required within both the discipline and industry.
