Available to sport and exercise science students, physical education students and
other students as approved by the Director of the Institute of Sport and Exercise
Science.
This subject is designed to teach students the fundamental scientific principles and
practices of muscle physiology relevant to strength training and conditioning for
sport performance. There is an emphasis on the practical understanding of the metabolic
responses to exercise in the design, implementation and instruction of training programs
and drills/exercises for sport conditioning.
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the principles and practices of strength training and conditioning for sports
performance;
- demonstrate an understanding of and ability to evaluate the physical capacity requirements
of a sport;
- Demonstrate an understanding of and familiarity with the practical laboratory techniques
used in physiological assessments of strength and adaptations to training & conditioning
during exercises/drills;
- Understand the physiological responses of muscle to strength training and the procedures
used in conditioning athletes to optimize physiological responses (both acute and
chronic);
- Understand the scientific principles of periodization of training for sport performance,
demonstrating such knowledge in a laboratory setting.
