Module Aims

To develop practical skills in late to pre-discharge rehabilitation, return to play decision making and injury reduction strategies.


To enable students to critical, appraise the evidence for advanced rehabilitation, return to play decision making and injury reduction strategies

Content Summary

In this module students will study: -

Strength, hypertrophy and power-based prescriptions
Prescribing speed, repeated speed, acceleration, deceleration, change of direction and plyometric exercise
Return to sprinting
Fall and landing retraining
Return to play criteria and risk of re-injury
Pre-rehabilitative and injury prevention exercises
Physiological demands of individual and team sports

All assessment components must be passed by the student.

Students must attend more than 80% of the module to complete the practical assessment
