In this module you will explore and debate a range of contemporary issues related to sport and physical activity. This will develop your understanding of some of the questions surrounding sport and physical activity, in areas such as, sport performance, exercise participation and understanding how age and pathology affect performance at everyday physical tasks. You will also explore the scientific practice that underpins our knowledge related to such contemporary issues, and apply ways of collecting and analysing data.

The purpose of this module is to provide the necessary foundational knowledge in the three main sport and exercise science disciplines; physiology, psychology and biomechanics as well as introductory topics in functional anatomy. You will initially study functional anatomy and use anatomical terminology as you describe human movement. The basic theory of biomechanics will be covered to include the kinematic and kinetic analysis of human movement. The physiological response to exercise will be considered with a focus on cardiorespiratory function and fuel for exercise. Additionally you will explore some of the key theory surrounding sport and exercise psychology and apply them to motivational theory and behaviour change.

You will identify your current knowledge, experience and interests in a selected area of study and create an action plan to support your progression into Higher Education. You will describe how your previous experiences have provided a platform for you to study sport at university. This will provide a basis to create and develop an action plan for your first year of study. In doing so, you will develop your ability to retrieve information and improve your communication skills.

Students will examine how& nbsp;physiology, biomechanics and psychology are applied within& nbsp;Human performance and Health contexts to understand and assist participation and performance in a range of sport and exercise settings. This will occur within in a controlled laboratory and an applied field setting, enabling students to understand sport and exercise science support and develop the technical skills to help develop appropriate interventions for both Sport and Exercise populations.& nbsp;

This module aims to raise student& rsquo;s awareness of the prevalence of physical activity, physical inactivity, and sedentary behaviour and the strengths and limitations of the measurement tools used to obtain these data. Students will investigate current recommendations for physical activity and sedentary behaviour and explore the evidence supporting their formulation and efficacy. Students will examine the role of physical activity in the promotion of health and the prevention and management of chronic diseases and conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, sarcopenia, and frailty. In this module, we will describe and apply various behaviour change models (e.g., self-determination, social cognitive theory, theory of planned behaviour and the health belief model) aimed at improving physical activity adherence and reducing sedentary behaviour. In addition, students will learn how to apply exercise training principles to develop an exercise prescription for people at risk of or diagnosed with a specific chronic disease.
