Training Methods of Strength and Conditioning 2 PG (11582.1)

In this unit students will learn the science and implementation of specific training methods used in exercise prescription. Acceleration, speed, agility, direction change, and plyometrics movement techniques will be analysed in line with evidence-based research. Associated exercise prescription progression and regressions associated with these techniques will be taught. Students will be able to apply the methods taught to a range of situations and will demonstrate their ability to deliver a high-quality targeted program in line with evidence-based testing and screening methods.

Learning outcomes

On completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Create and periodically appraise a longitudinal speed/acceleration program for an individual based on needs analysis, screening and testing;
2. Assess and evaluate movement competencies from advanced speed, direction change and landing techniques based on best practice using appropriate coaching frameworks; and
3. Critically analyse and evaluate rehabilitation and reconditioning protocols for common sports injuries.
