Prerequisites

There is no prerequisite for this module
Description of module content:

The aim of this module is to expose you to a range of the most commonly used tests used in the physiological assessment of an athlete. These would include tests of strength, power, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, body composition analysis and importantly in the field testing of a number of these variables. The module also examines the theory underpinning the physiological limits to performance and how this links to the available physiological tests. The content of the module is specifically designed to enable you to develop key practical competencies in sport science support when working with athletes in a broad range of sports and in various environmental settings.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to:
LO1: Determine and critically evaluate various physiological factors that affect sports performance
LO2: Critically evaluate a range of physiological assessments that are used to determine human performance.
LO3: Interpret and apply theoretical principles of physiological assessment within a variety of sporting contexts.
LO4: Demonstrate practical competence in the administration of a variety of physiological tests.
