Module Description: |
To provide the student with a practical and theoretical scientific knowledge of the physiological, growth and maturation processes of the paediatric population. Design and implement age appropriate exercise in order to minimise injury risk, maximise training adaptations, and achieve long term athlete/physical development (LTAD). Awareness of the different LTAD models and the contemporary issues associated within the youth fitness pediatric population.

Independent Learning |
|
Non Contact |
Independent learning encourages the development of learner self-direction and assessment thereby supporting learners to acquire relevant knowledge and experience to continue their professional development. Staff supported, independent learning activities will allow learners to formulate their own research questions and organise the resulting information or data using the appropriate advanced methodologies, critically discern the credibility of such data, organise and synthesise the data. |

Practicals |
|
Contact |
Key analytical and applied competency skills are developed by learners in a laboratory environment whilst working both individually and in groups. Practical classes allow learners to explore and develop real world applied learning environment in the application of theory. In addition practical experience enables learners to develop mastery of advanced specialised skills and practices associated with each module |

Lecture |
|
Contact |
The purpose of the lecture is to provide the learner with a broad overview of each topic in the syllabus. Learners will be required to supplement this with significant independent reading and research in the area. Lectures will be in a format that encourages active learning and learner autonomy and will form the basis for further critical independent enquiry |
