Sport and Exercise Science provides the opportunity for students to follow a highly specific and scientific sport and exercise programme which uniquely focuses on the disciplines of sport and exercise psychology, sport and exercise physiology, sport and exercise biomechanics and research methods.Specifically, students are provided with the knowledge base to critically evaluate and engage with contemporary research related to sports performance and exercise participation. In addition, students develop the necessary skills to actively initiate and conduct scientific projects linked to individuals, teams and agencies from across the wider spectrum of sport and exercise.Students may wish to pursue the three year BSc (Hons) Applied Sport and Exercise Science pathway or the four year MSci (Hons) Applied Sport and Exercise Science pathway.This three year BSc is composed of four key strands which combine to form an innovative programme of study: Sport and Exercise Psychology strand The aim of the psychological strand is to enable students to make an informed assessment of those psychological factors which are thought to influence an individual's involvement and performance in sport and exercise. Students examine ways in which psychological constructs influence sporting and exercise involvement and behaviour. Furthermore, students explore how elite athletes cope with the expectations, experiences and outcomes of high level competition, as well as examining what motivates the child and amateur performer to both become and remain involved in sport and exercise. Further components help adopt a more social psychological perspective. Sport and Exercise Physiology strand This strand gives students an understanding of the physiology underpinning exercise and sports performance. In essence, it examines the underlying physiological adaptations which occur during sport and address issues pertinent to today's competitive athlete . Consequently, the strand specifically...
