Use evidence from various sources to support working with a range of clients.

You'll look at evidence from interdisciplinary sources and work as part of interdisciplinary teams.

You'll develop your research and enquiry skills so you can use sources of information relevant to your degree programme.

You'll learn about professional bodies supporting your field of study.

You'll also look at lifestyle and health promotion and the risk reduction and management of common health conditions.

You'll find out what it's like to work in the applied sport, exercise and health sector.

You'll learn about the roles and responsibilities of clients and stakeholders, see the types of jobs and opportunities available, understand the challenges and benefits of working in an interdisciplinary team, and learn to work with empathy and compassion.

You can also take on a work placement or complete employer challenges as part of this module.

Get an introduction to anatomy and physiology.

We'll cover the musculoskeletal system, the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the nervous and endocrine systems, and energy metabolism and use.

You'll make links between theory and practical work.

We'll also introduce core aspects of research and enquiry, such as how to read and use research articles, conduct basic literature searches and use the Learning Centre services.

Learn about musculoskeletal structure and function, including muscle mechanics, planes and axes of movement and anatomical reference points.

We'll cover linear kinematics and kinetics, work, power and energy concepts, kinematics measurement techniques, and the qualitative analysis of movement.

You'll explore training principles to enhance performance variables, such as acceleration, velocity, impulse, power and force application.

Get an understanding of the individual client or performer through fundamental aspects of sport and exercise psychology.

You'll examine theories of confidence, motivation, and mental resilience.

You'll explore approaches to encourage behaviour change using practical techniques such as goal setting.

You'll also get an introduction to core aspects of research and enquiry, such as how to read and use research articles, how to conduct basic literature searches, how to critique theoretical explanations, and how to make appropriate use of the Learning Centre services including the library.

Examine the physiological responses to different forms of exercise.

Find out how to measure and apply performance-based variables such as VO2 max, blood lactate thresholds, and running economy and health-related assessments such as HRmax.

You'll develop key practical skills such as VO2 max testing and capillary blood sampling, and learn how physiological variables associated with these tests can be used to monitor and enhance performance.

You'll also examine and appraise contemporary research methods that are relevant for the analysis of the data collected.

Develop your knowledge of sport and exercise psychology and how it can be used to enhance performance and wellbeing.

We'll focus on the roles of non-psychology titled practitioners.

You'll discover how core underpinning theories can inform strategies to benefit performance and wellbeing, taking into consideration moral and ethical considerations while being mindful of athletes' differences.

We'll cover motivation, confidence, self- and collective-efficacy, arousal and anxiety, the psychology of injury, working with stakeholders and significant others, group dynamics and team cohesion, and sporting career transitions.

Learn about digestion, absorption and excretion, metabolism of macronutrients and energy release during exercise.

You'll explore nutrient requirements for exercising populations, the nature of body composition and the principles of energy balance.

You'll evaluate the role of macronutrients and micronutrients in exercise and the effect on dietary planning.

You'll take part in practical laboratory sessions to explore metabolic responses to exercise and develop nutrition-related skills such as the use of specialist software (Nutritics).

You'll do a professional placement, which can be spread across the academic year or done in a block, depending on your preferred professional area and the demands of your degree programme.

We'll help you develop your professional skills with content relevant to your degree.

This could include developing reflective practice skills, enhancing communication skills, interdisciplinary working, career guidance placement searching and CV writing.

Learn about the application of angular kinematics and kinetics and the nature of the forces that air and water can exert on athletes and sports objects.

Discover how these forces and the characteristics of sports surfaces and equipment can influence performance.

You'll develop laboratory-based skills in force plate data collection and analysis, two-dimensional motion analysis, and learn how to analyse and interpret 2D data.

You'll also develop your ability to evaluate the appropriateness of different assessment tools and assess the limitations and validity of data collection.

Learn how to build and interpret research evidence in sport, exercise and related areas.

You'll study the value of research processes, ethical requirements, synthesis of existing research evidence, project design, and the analysis and interpretation of data.

You'll also learn how to appraise existing research.

Showcase your integrated learning with an independent project relevant to your course and interests.

You'll have tutorials to help you work out the format and focus of your project.

You'll have formative assessment points to act as stepping stones towards completion.

The module will culminate in an assessment event where you'll present work in a negotiated format.

You'll complete a work-based or alternative professional development project within your work setting.

This will involve negotiating a project that meets the needs of both your employer or placement provider and Leeds Trinity University.

You'll develop and negotiate learning outcomes and assessment modes that allow you to apply theoretical understanding and practical work-based development to a chosen context.

Apply a range of sport and exercise science skills and understanding to address the ‘whole person’ needs of a sports performer or exerciser.

You'll bring together knowledge of and reflections on sport and exercise science sub-disciplines to identify, address and reflect on the needs of individuals in case studies drawn from sport and exercise.

You'll need to apply more than one sub-discipline to articulate the needs of the individual, demonstrate how the application of a collection of disciplines in sport and exercise science helps better address these needs and offer critical comment on the challenges associated with such a way of working.

Case studies will cover scenarios such as injury prevention or rehabilitation, development of technique, establishment of competition strategy, and managing weight in sport or exercise settings.
