Content:
How to complete a needs analysis of a sport and its implications on exercise selection and programme design. Basic postural screening/assessment, strategies to correct common postural dysfunctions through corrective exercise and the implication of this to injury prevention and enhancing human performance.
Address the principles of training and its importance when enhancing programmes designed to develop hypertrophy, strength and power through the use of safe and effective weightlifting techniques. Strategies to enhance agility through coaching the basics of acceleration, deceleration and change of direction mechanics.
An introduction to the development of cardiovascular endurance and testing of human performance as a monitoring tool. Basic programme design strategies and concepts and their development over an athlete's competitive season.
Develop a case study which addresses the requirements of the sport and athlete over a block of training. 		In taking this module you cannot take HL10037
