Module Title Performance Physiology for Sports Coaching
Year/Level/Semester 2015-2016/ Level 5/ Semester 2
Module Leader Mark Gibson
Module Lecturers Mark Gibson
Purpose:
This module has been designed to allow students to develop an understanding of the physiological demands presented by exercise and sport to a sports coach. This will allow students to explore how training can be used to enhance performance in sport and the consideration that must be made when designing training programmes
Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this module students should be able to:
Knowledge and Understanding
1.Clinically review the physiological demands of specific sports
2. Demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the skills required to design and evaluate a physiological training programme for an individual athlete
Cognitive and Intellectual Skills
3.Analyse, apply and interpret data from a range of sources
4.Demonstrate intellectual flexibility and openness to new ideas
Practical and Professional Skills
5. Can operate ethically within the design and delivery of a physiological training programme
6.Able to act with increasing autonomy in the design and delivery of physiological training programmes
Key Transferable Skills 7.Select and use a range of communication methods appropriate to the individual athlete during delivery of the physiological training programme
Indicative Content:
• Metabolism during exercise – Anaerobic and Aerobic
• Training methods and adaptations
• Aerobic and Anaerobic training
• Strength and Power training
• Design and periodisation of the training programme

Marking & Standardisation
Teaching, Learning and Assessment Strategy:
Formal lectures, tutorials and related practical work will be engaged throughout. Lectures will provide explanation of principles and discussion of applications. Practicals will involve the use of Sports Laboratories to explore the physiology of human performance. Tutorials will involve guided exercises and practical tasks incorporating examples of current industry practice.
The assessment will consist of:
Part 1: Presentation (50%): 10 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions
Students willdeliver an individual presentation that justifies the testing battery for a selected case study who is actively involved in sports (the case study might be either a member of the group or an athlete who will agree to be tested).

30%
Identification and analysis of the fitness components relevant to the sport
20%
Reference to the assessment package, validity and reliability of selected tests and relate contemporary criterion test measures
20%
