Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject you will explore the key disciplines of sports science (physiology, biomechanics, and nutrition) and the role they play within the field of sport coaching. The application of these concepts to sport will also be outlined to illustrate the interdisciplinary nature of the sports coaching process. This will provide you with the opportunity to understand how these key disciplines can be applied within a real-world context for the purposes of sports science related activities such as talent identification and athlete development.
