Brief Description | This module aims to develop subject knowledge in the application of kinesiology through experiential learning. Furthermore, it aims to develop the ability of students to relate subject knowledge to athletes through the selection, delivery and evaluation of appropriate components of physical fitness. The module is recommended for students wishing to pursue a career in coaching, or developing training programmes. It will develop the ability of students to analyse and synthesise appropriate subject knowledge for the coaching of athletes. |
Indicative Syllabus | This module involves the application of scientific knowledge for the components of physical fitness through theoretical and practical lectures. Activities covered include: strength, power, plyometrics, endurance, and speed. Students will develop an understanding of the methods of planning, periodization and setting objectives for the delivery of coaching sessions. It will also identify the effects of stress, anxiety and arousal on sports performance and the role of techniques designed to regulate the impact of such stressors. |
Learning Outcomes | A student passing this module should be able to:
1) Analyse the scientific principles underpinning components of physical fitness; 2) Apply the principles of training when designing, administering and monitoring specific training sessions; 3) Design, monitor and evaluate training methods for strength, power, endurance, and speed; 4) Analyse methods of planning, periodization and setting objectives for the delivery of coaching sessions 5) Assess the effects of stress, anxiety and arousal on sports performance and the role of techniques designed to regulate the impact of such stressors. 6) Review research into the science of sports training. |
