Course Description

This course provides a detailed coverage of research topics in Sport and Exercise Science and Sports Studies. It will emphasise different factors which contribute to overall sport and exercise performance and consider any relevant adaptations that occur in response to different types of training. It will include a detailed consideration of seven research topics, and focus on factors particular to each. These topics will include aspects of physiology, nutrition, health, exercise and performance from the molecular level to an integrated human performance model. Other topics will be included to reflect the fast moving research interests within the School of Medical Sciences.
