This module aims to provide students with the understanding of how they can use sport and exercise science in the preparation and training of individual and team sport athletes. Students will learn different approaches to planning training over a season, as well as how to vary and monitor training volume, as well as the indicators of and consequences of overtraining. As part of this module students will learn how to practically assess athletes speed, strength and cardiovascular fitness.
Alongside learning how to plan the development of the athletic performance of athletes, students will also learn the about the implications and use of nutritional aids in athlete training.
The overall aim of this module is to; provide students with a deeper understanding of the principals of strength and conditioning; the use and application of science for athlete preparation, programming and monitoring. Students will also gain practical experience in the assessment and monitoring of athletes.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Describe the different approaches commonly used to vary training volume and intensity in a yearly training plan;
2. Discuss the issues associated with the preparation, monitoring and recovery of individual and team sport athletes;
3. Describe the scientific principles thought to underpin the process of strength training;
4. Understand and apply exercise techniques, administration of training sessions; including warm-up, speed and fitness assessment;
5. Explain the consequences for the athlete of overtraining;
6. Contemporary issues in strength and conditioning;
