This course reflects recent developments in sport at all levels. Many sports have adopted a more professional approach and have appointed coaches to plan, monitor weekly training and performance enhancement. Indeed, some sports including athletics, football, rugby and tennis, have included a commercial element into their activities and depend on success in competition to attract sponsorship and other financial investment in their organisations and athletes. Questions that may be raised through this course include: Should a ten year old swimmer be spending up to four hours per day in the pool? Are those who pay for coaching getting value for money? At what age should children start weight training? Is Britain as a nation becoming more unhealthy? The aim of a course in sports is not to promote competition or to promote excellence. It is to promote understanding of aspects of performance and sport in general. Students must be willing to participate in a wide variety of sports. Course Content The course involves the study of 18 sport and exercise science modules. In recent years, sport and exercise scientists have been a growing presence in the world of sport and as we look to the future all the signs suggest their influence in sport will increase. Students will complete the 18 modules over two years of full time study and build a portfolio of evidence. In addition, they can take a variety of coaching, performance and officiating awards to supplement their study. A period of work placement is included during which time students will use and develop skills acquired on the course. The course is approximately 50% practical and 50% theory in its content.
