Module Aims
This module aims to develop a higher level of knowledge and understanding regarding the anatomical, physiological and biomechanical basis of the training process. Its aim it to develop the students’ capacity to synthesise applied knowledge, skill and competence within these domains into the planning and evaluation of effective training programmes.
Content Summary
The module will consider the importance of multi-system anatomical and physiological adaptation to the strength and conditioning process. Specifically, it will focus on neuro-muscular adaptations and means of monitoring and exploiting these phenomena through structured training interventions.
Students will further their understanding through practical application of these monitoring and training interventions, and utilise these in the design of effective programmes of development
