Module Aims
This module aims to provide students with the underpinning knowledge and practical skills to enable them to design, implement and effectively coach speed agility and endurance development programmes.
Content Summary
The module will start with an understanding of the potential constraints to speed, agility and endurance performance, and the specific requirements of each component in a variety of sporting contexts. Integrating key concepts from the Anatomy, Physiology and Biomechanics module, it will then examine each component and evaluate the key factors affecting performance, along with an analysis of the training methods required to enhance the athlete’s capacity in each. It will finally look at how these components can be effectively integrated into an overall athletic development programme.
Throughout the module, students will be given instruction in the effective coaching of speed, agility and endurance and will be involved in the practical delivery of appropriate training sessions.
Speed and agility are crucial factors in sports performance in a wide range of sports. Additionally, many sports require the ability to demonstrate sport specific endurance qualities.
