The taught sessions will follow one of the following lesson formats: Lectures; Seminars; Practical based; E-Learning.

In addition to a class-room the Fitness Suite will be required for 6 weeks (21 hours) to complete a physical training programme with a performer.

Taught Sessions (lecture/seminar): 51 hours
Practical Workshops (x6 weeks): 21 hours
Independent/Assessment Study: 228 hours
(E-learning will be conducted via the VLE as additional tasks in independent study time)

- Class-room with a SMARTBoard and projector.
- Appropriately and adequately stocked library facilities.
- Internet access sufficient to blackboard.

A range of formative and summative assessment methods will be used which are appropriate to the teaching and learning delivery method, mode of attendance and proposed weighting criteria used for this module, and as reflected within the Scheme and Award specifications. Formative feedback will be provided in a variety of forms, including written feedback on proposed titles, outline assignment plans and full drafts. Feedback may take place via full-class, group and individual tutorials.
A contextualised and approved assessment strategy and schedule will be published to students by award.
The summative assessment for the Performance Physiology for Coaching module will be split into two assessment types. The modules¿ assessment will be by 50% group presentation, lasting 20 minutes in duration, on the physiological demands of specific sports performances (LO1) and the value of the training programmes used for various sports (LO4), and a 50% written report (2000 words) based upon a physical training programme designed for a selected sports performer in a practical environment (LO2; LO3).
All learning outcomes are covered by the two assessment methods: Assessment 1 = LO1 & LO4 and Assessment 2 = LO2 & LO3. Students must attempt all assessments and achieve an overall pass grade for the module.
