Developed in line with the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) and aligned to Graduate Strength and Conditioning Coach (GSCC) professional standards, this sport science course will help to develop your knowledge and skills to help you to thrive in this industry.

Combining underlying scientific principles with practical strength and conditioning methods, you will study a variety of subjects including:

exercise physiology biomechanics data analysis performance analysis research methods sports injury rehabilitation  physiology  sports psychology strength & conditioning techniques

Theoretical knowledge gained at the beginning of the course will be applied to simulated real-world examples to reflect industry practice. Applied research becomes connected with health and performance-based learning. Practical sessions will introduce you to a range of fitness tests or provide learning opportunities where theoretical information can be demonstrated working in real time.
