Overview
This course provides a detailed coverage of the physiological factors which influence sports performance and of the specific adaptations that occur in response to different types of training. It will include a consideration of four main situations, and consider the factors peculiar to each: these are weightlifting, sprinting, endurance sports and team games. The potential limitations to performance, including primarily metabolic and cardiorespiratory factors, will be considered, and the implications for training programmes will be considered. The impact of nutritional factors will also be described.
