| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be taught through a series of lectures, tutorials and practicals. The 1-h weekly lectures are designed to provide background information on changes in the physiological systems (i.e., cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular) with growth. The mechanisms behind changes in those systems will be established in order to explain the effects they have on sporting performance at different maturation states (from childhood to adulthood). Additionally, lectures are used to demonstrate how to critically review and evaluate academic literature on this topic (LO 1, 2, 3). The 1-h weekly tutorials are given to support the theory and encourage class discussions through problem-based learning and case study examples. Tutorials are also used to develop analytical skills as data from the practical sessions are used to demonstrate appropriate scientific handling techniques (LO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The 2-h practical classes form an integral part of the module so that the theory can be explored in a laboratory and field context. You are expected to conduct measurements at different stages of growth and development. During the practical sessions you will have to work independently and in small groups. You will then be expected to analyse data and critically evaluate the measurement tools and the validity of the data produced in writing an assessed athlete case study report (LO 2, 3, 4, 5).
|
Formative assessments will take place during the tutorials and practical sessions.Feedback on your development of the subject specific knowledge and interpersonal skills will be provided during practical classes. Additionally, critically evaluation of the latest academic literature will be done in the form of a journal club during tutorials sessions. More specifically, the first formative assessment will be a plan (500 words) for the presentation and is due in week 4 (summative assessment 1). The second formative assessment is due in week 10 and will be a 750 written piece of work which will be based on the final summative assessment on which you will be able to receive peer feedback.

Component 1: Presentation (40%)The first assessment, due in week 7, is an individual 15 minutes presentation focusing on peak height velocity (PHV) and the interrelationship between PHV and chosen physiological systems affecting performance(LO 1, 2, 3). An oral presentation is designed to challenge you to present and explain physiological data related to growth, maturation and performance in a simple, yet academic manner. Component 2: Athlete case study report (60%)The second assessment, due in week 14, is a 2500 word case study report. This report requires you to present the current state of knowledge on the influence of growth and maturation on the chosen physiological variable. You should collect athlete data, present the testing results and propose evidence-based methods to improve athletic development in line with long-term athlete development model (LO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
