Strength & Conditioning Science and Application
Description
This module aims to provide students with an advanced knowledge and understanding of the fundamental processes that underpin the various biological systems when adapts to a stressor. These principles govern an individual response to a specific training stimulus. Students will develop an understanding on how these physiological principles apply to strength & conditioning practices.
Learning Outcomes

Discover and apply the theory and practise of stretch-shortening cycle activities.
Demonstrate an understanding of the endocrinology and resistance training
Distinguish how growth and maturation influences physical and motor skill development.
