Ever wondered how strength & conditioning specialists help to improve the physical performance of elite athletes? How do we assess the training needs of athletes from a variety of sports? How do we prepare athletes for training, and effectively design and deliver conditioning sessions to maximise the athletes performance? This module will provide you with the fundamental theoretical concepts and practical techniques to help answer these questions. If you are seeking a career working with high-performance and professional athletes this module will start your journey within the multi-disciplinary and exciting field of strength and conditioning.

Cynnwys cwrs

The module is delivered by accredited staff who have worked as practitioners in the field of strength and conditioning within professional and performance sport pathways, and are active consultants and reasearchers in the field. During the course, you will learn about the fundamental theories of training science, how factors such as individual athlete profiles, the physiological demands and injury profile of the sport can affect the strength and conditioning process. Alongside theoretical concepts of training you will practice the fundamental practical techniques underpinning the delivery of training, such as speed, strength and endurance training.

Topics may include:

  • Principles of training;
  • The needs analysis process;
  • Energetic and movement demands of different sports;
  • Injury profiles and individual athlete considerations;
  • Program and session design, introduction to RAMP warm-up;
  • Exercise programming for strength and power training;
  • Exercise programming for endurance and metabolic training;
  • Exercise programming for speed and agility training.

Private study

The student is expect to spend this time previewing and reviewing lecture material, reading articles (53 hours) and preparing for examinations and coursework (25 hours). Preparation for the MCQ exam (10 hours) will be based on content from the initial 4 x 2 hr lectures; preparation and writing the session plan (15 hours) will be based on the remaining 4 x 2 hr lectures and aided by experiental learning from the 3 x 2 hr practical sessions.
