Indicative Content

Internal and external forces (internal lever systems, gravitational forces)

Newtonian Laws relating to linear motion

Linear kinematics (distance; displacement; speed; velocity; acceleration, projectile motion)

Linear kinetics (impulse, momentum, work, & power)

Fluid forces (aerodynamics; hydrodynamics)

Sporting movement analysis

Learning and Teaching Activities The course will be delivered mainly through lectures and seminars, with practical sessions where students are able to apply the information taught. Underlying principles are explained in lectures; seminars will establish the understanding of these principles. Students will be encouraged to make use of the available IT materials to enhance their learning experience.

Course Title Human Responses to Sport & Exercise



Credit 15 Credits

Pre-requisites None

Aims This course aims to investigate the theoretical and practical elements of the physiological responses to exercise. It will also provide students with an understanding of assessment and evaluation of human performance in the context of procedures undertaken in sports or fitness centre experiments with reference to health and safety regulations (HASWA 1974)(COSHH)

Learning Outcomes


Analyse the main energy pathway systems and their relationship to sports performance (LO1);

Assess and evaluate the cardio respiratory and cardiovascular responses to short and long term exercise (LO2);

Analyse the neuromuscular and hormonal responses to short and long term exercise (LO3);

Conduct exercise physiology tests specific to human responses to exercise whilst employing the appropriate knowledge regarding health and safety regulations (HASWA 1974 & COSHH) (LO4);

Handle and evaluate scientific data: Objective Methods: gathering and recording data (including observation) (LO5).

Indicative Content

main energy pathway systems & energy provision

cardio respiratory system and cardiovascular responses to exercise

exercise and thermoregulation

fluid regulation and exercise

neuromuscular and hormonal responses

health and safety regulations (HASWA 1974 & COSHH)

Scientific data from testing

Learning and Teaching Activities This course will be delivered in the form of lectures supported by tutorials. Students will be required to access a range of fitness testing equipment within a sports science laboratory. Practical applications of the theoretical input to this course are essential and will require a group approach for data collection.

Course Title Applied Sport & Exercise Instructing



Credit 15 Credits

Pre-requisites None

Aims This course aims to investigate the principles of exercise and theoretical planning and an understanding of advanced exercise teaching techniques. Students will be encouraged to evaluate personal and team performances which will enable the study of improving performance.

Learning Outcomes


Plan, control and deliver structured and effective individual and team exercise activities (LO1);

Deliver safe and effective practical demonstrations of session activities (LO2);

Critically analyse methods of improving future performance (LO3);

Demonstrate the skills to evaluate individual and team performance (LO4).

Indicative Content

Safe and effective exercise instruction

Physical training systems and methods

Exercise and spotting techniques

Effective use of CV machines

Performance evaluation

Learning and Teaching Activities Tutor led workshops should provide students with an opportunity to develop personal teaching skills. The application of these can be effectively undertaken with students working in small groups then feeding back to the group as a whole. Students will require access to facilities that will enable them to teach these exercise sessions, Students need to apply their knowledge and skills to the teaching of clients in a work based realistic situation however, where this is not possible simulation should be used. Students also need to observe and evaluate the exercise teaching of others at both ends of the spectrum.
