This module will extend students' knowledge of applied exercise physiology. Students will critically assess the scientific evidence around athletic training and conditioning programme design in order to critique common practice, established 'knowledge' and innovative approaches. A particular focus will be given to the development of both theoretical and practical expertise.The following key training principles will be covered: - Assessment/evaluation - Periodization - Injury prevention/overtraining - Rehabilitation - Specific populations
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module, students should be able to:
Analyse physiological data and derive performance measures for an athlete or special population
Give training advice to athletes or special population that will support and improve their performance, based on the latest scientific findings.
Demonstrate a critical understanding of exercise physiology as applied to athletic conditioning methods and programme design
