Description of module content:

This module aims to provide you with an evidence-based knowledge of the physiology of human development from childhood to adulthood. The processes of growth, development and maturation have a significant impact on the physical workings of the body. You will learn the impact of biological maturation on physiological variables and subsequently football performance in developing athletes. This knowledge will help you design appropriate testing and training methods in order to enhance developing players’ football performance. Indicative content:
• The physiological systems throughout growth and development
• Influence of growth and development on performance
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Demonstrate a critical understanding of the physiological concepts and processes associated with growth and development

LO2: Critically evaluate measures used by sports professionals to monitor growth and maturation at different stages of long-term athlete development

LO3: Examine the relationship between growth, maturation and football performance

LO4: Discuss training principles and their application for athlete development

LO5: Apply knowledge of athlete development to formulate and document an evidence-based training report
