Module Description: This module aims develop the students knowledge and understanding of the various periodisation models. Students will apply the scientific knowledge to design, monitor and implement sport specific conditioning programmes. The demonstration and presentation of periodisation will be in line with professional accreditations (ASCC from the UKSCA and the CSCS from the NSCA)
 
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:
# Learning Outcome Description
LO1 Analyse and critically appraise the results of fitness tests in the design of appropriate and effective training programmes.
LO2 Design, implement and critically evaluate sport specific, individual training programmes including an understanding of the various models to monitor training load.
LO3 Compile a case study report that demonstrate and synthesise periodised strength & conditioning programmes.
LO4 Display a thorough critical understanding of the principles and components that underpin training adaptations to strength and conditioning.
