1. Critically evaluate peer-reviewed evidence to support the design and implementation of applied fitness testing and strength and conditioning programming for a chosen sport.

Analysis. Enquiry. Knowledge and Understanding. Learning.

2. Demonstrate the application of appropriate training interventions in strength and conditioning sessions.

Application. Reflection. Knowledge and Understanding. Communication.

The students will be required to give a presentation on their development and delivery of a strength and conditioning intervention. The presentation must include the process they followed to develop their intervention and short video clips of the students’ applying aspects of their protocol. The students will present to a live audience of their peers and academic staff. The presentation assesses learning outcomes 1 & 2.¿

This is the capstone module for the strength and conditioning pathway. This module guides students through a process of literature review, needs analysis, testing battery design, applied fitness testing, applied programming and hands-on implementation of a strength and conditioning intervention for a chosen sport.

This module is the capstone module for the strength and conditioning pathway. The module guides you through a process of literature review, needs analysis, testing battery design, applied fitness testing, applied programming and hands-on implementation of a strength and conditioning intervention for your chosen sport. This provides you with the skills necessary to develop effective strength and conditioning programmes for any athlete, by utilising the peer-reviewed evidence to guide you in applying the practical skills you acquired in previous modules and further develop in this one.¿¿¿¿

A variety of teaching and learning techniques will be utilised to meet the diverse needs of our students. These techniques include, but are not limited to, problem-based learning, context-based learning, simulation, and peer to peer learning. This approach ensures that students can contextualise their knowledge and understanding and best prepares them for employment.¿

This module will be predominantly taught by tutor led classroom-based activities and practical applied learning sessions. Students will be led through an applied strength and conditioning process and then supported in applying such a process for their chosen sport.¿
