Module Aims
|
Module Aims:
- To build on the knowledge gained in Health and Fitness 1 (SS102).
- To provide an understanding of integrated training for sport performance.
- To plan and have theoretical support for training programme development.
- To apply knowledge to the design and implementation of an individual training programme.
- To introduce the theory, practice and methods of assessment of strength, power, speed, agility and anaerobic capacity.
- To provide an understanding of the theory and practice of advanced weight lifting techniques.
