| Brief Description | This module aims to investigate the role of kinesiology and the development of human movement and its importance for those who teach or coach physical education and/ or sport. The module will identify the importance of key physiological and biomechanical principles along with functional anatomy. The module will also introduce the principles of training and their application to developing physical performance.
This module is Category A under the University's Active Engagement in Learning Scheme. This means that absence from specified sessions will result in loss of marks (5% from the final module mark for each occasion of non-attendance). |
| Indicative Syllabus | This module will investigate the influence of physiological systems in limiting performance; the different energy systems used by the body in undertaking physical work; the influence of diet and nutrition on energy metabolism; the effects of environmental conditions on physical performance; the difference between components of physical performance; the principles of training and their application to developing physical performance; short and long term adaptations to training; functional skeletal and muscular anatomy; the theories and laws of physical force and motion that can be applied to sports performance; techniques used in the kinesiological modelling and analysis of sports performance; an understanding of how to apply biomechanical principles of movement to the coaching process. |
| Learning Outcomes | A student passing this module should be able to:
Demonstrate an understanding of techniques used in the kinesiological modelling of sports performance. |
