This course is designed to implement the application of sport science support for athlete monitoring during training, competition and recovery process for elite sports performance. Based on the foundation of sport and exercise science the course provides an opportunity to collect and analyse data from training and competition to enhance athlete performance. Research methodology, training programme design and competition preparation will be examined throughout the course. By the end of this course students will have a detailed understanding of the demands required to provide comprehensive sport science support to both athlete and coach.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
