Assessment Details
This module has 4 elements of assessment: 2 Practical and 2 Written Assignments.
Coaching assessment 1. Practical (15%) and written assignment (35%)
Coaching assessment 2. Practical (15%) and written assignment (35%)
Assessment 1. The student will be required to deliver a PRACTICAL RESEARCH DATA COLLECTION PROTOCOL (method supplied) to an athlete, the session will be assessed for practical competency in demonstration and coaching weighted at 15% of assessment grade (assessing LO1). The student will be required to produce a LAB REPORT (2000 words) weighted at 35% (assessing LO 2) justifying the testing plans against the research in the areas of strength and conditioning. The session must be based on clear rationale related to the analysis of primary research centred on the principles of strength and conditioning.
Assessment 2. The student will be required to develop and deliver a PRACTICAL RESEARCH DATA COLLECTION PROTOCOL to an athlete, the session will be assessed for practical competency in demonstration and coaching weighted at 15% and assessing LO 3. The student will be required to produce an essay (2000 words) weighted at 35% (assessing LO 4) justifying the session plans against the research in the areas of strength and conditioning. The session must be based on clear rationale related to the analysis of primary research centred on the principles of strength and conditioning.
An overall mark of 40% of summative assessment MUST be passed to achieve a pass in this module.
Additional Assessment Details (include formative feedback / assessment):
Throughout the module, formative assessment will be continually provided, as each workshop will contribute progressively towards the final summative assessment. Examples will be provided in workshops.

Indicative Content
Students will attend a series of lectures and practical workshops which will further develop their understanding of the principles of Strength and Conditioning and their ability to perform essential practical elements of Strength and Conditioning coaches. Students will build upon their learning from previous modules, in particular Strength and Conditioning for Sports Performance 1 (L4);Screening and Monitoring in Sport and Exercise (L4) introduction to Physiology, Biomechanics and Nutrition (L4); Periodisation and Performance Lifestyle (L5) and develop advanced level research testing strategies utilising advanced biomechanical and physiological principles of testing for specific components of performance for individual athletes.
