Module Aims
The module is designed to provide students with the theoretical and applied knowledge to be able to construct and deliver effective strength and conditioning sessions.
Content Summary
Physical performance is a key component of elite performance in the majority of sports. Strength and Conditioning involves the application of a range of physical training methods with the ultimate aim of enhancing athletic performance. \\r
This module will provide students with practical experience in the delivery of strength and conditioning sessions and short term training programmes aimed at enhancing performance in a wide range of physical fitness parameters. This will include strength, stability, mobility, power, speed, agility and endurance. This will be supported by a series of lead lectures during which the scientific theory underpinning these methods will be put forward.\\r
The module content will be designed to enable students to attain the required skills and knowledge associated with initial coach qualifications and awards from the NSCA and UKSCA. \\r
