This subject will explore the application of scientific principles and techniques
to assist coaches and athletes to evaluate their performance, either at an individual
level or within the context of a team environment. Specifically, students will design,
deliver and interpret safe, effective and evidence-based sport science interventions
for service users in a collaborative manner with other allied health and coaching
staff.
