Description

This module will analyse and provide an understanding of some of the key technologies currently used in the field of sports science and health. Students will examine the scientific principles underpinning various sensing and measurement technologies as well applying these principles to different athletic and clinical populations.

Learning Outcomes

1. Describe and evaluate different technologies currently used in health and human performance
2. Explain the practical applciations and limitations of the current sensing and measurement technologies available
3. Apply and implement the use of various technologies in different clinical and athletic populations
4. Communicative Competence DACS No. 5 - Demonstrate the effective use of digital technology for communication

Reassessment Requirement Type
Resit arrangements are explained by the following categories: Resit category 1: A resit is available for both* components of the module. Resit category 2: No resit is available for a 100% continuous assessment module. Resit category 3: No resit is available for the continuous assessment component where there is a continuous assessment and examination element.
* ‘Both’ is used in the context of the module having a Continuous Assessment/Examination split; where the module is 100% continuous assessment, there will also be a resit of the assessment
This module is category 1
