Aims
The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the diverse aspects involved in designing effective strength and conditioning programmes. Participants will be equipped with the knowledge to conduct needs analyses for individuals and teams, while also evaluating the validity and reliability of corresponding tools and protocols. Through practical sessions and case studies, students will examine the physiological characteristics of younger and older populations to address their unique needs in sport and exercise. By critically evaluating effective coaching practices, students will learn how to achieve desirable training outcomes, ultimately fostering a greater understanding of the coaching process.
