Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.
This module will explore sport specific planning and preparation for athletes across a range of activities and sports. Utilising a life course approach, students will investigate the specific needs of sports using a multidisciplinary approach. This will in turn inform their understanding of training programme design and evaluation. Other topics will include coaching philosophies and coaching practice. Practical activities will enable students to develop coaching skills and proficiency in techniques for strength and conditioning.
