Assignment(s), Test(s), Practical work

This topic will provide students with the knowledge and expertise to undertake thorough physiological testing of athletes, with a primary focus on field based tests. The practical skills associated with field testing will be based upon assessing strength, power, hypertrophy and muscular endurance along with aerobic and anaerobic capacity and anthropometrics. The results from the testing will be used for exercise prescription. Students will also undertake a movement analysis of a chosen sport.

On completion of this topic students will be able to:

• Explain the link between movement analysis of a chosen sport and the need to perform physiological testing

• Understand how physiological testing fits into the annual plan of strength and conditioning coaches

• Implement a variety of field based physiological tests

• Interpret the results of field based physiological tests

• Prescribe exercise as a result of field based physiological testing

• Design a strength and conditioning program for a chosen team or individual
