Module Title:Strength and Conditioning Applied Coaching 3
Language of Instruction:English
Credits: 5
NFQ Level:6
Module Delivered In 2 programme(s)
Teaching & Learning Strategies: This module will be taught in one theory class of one hour duration and a double hour practical per week. The theory class will include lecture, Q&A, group discussion, PowerPoint presentation and CR-Rom support where appropriate. The practical work will comprise demonstration and instruction in training methods to develop the various performance-related components of fitness. The primary focus however will be on developing students’ practical skills and confidence in conducting training sessions. There will be a focus on developing and designing training methods with a sport-specific focus.
Module Aim: To provide students with the ability to demonstrate and coach basic and applied resistance training exercises including olympic lifts in a safe and effective manner. In addition, the student will gain the scientific knowledge to design and implement sport specific conditioning programmes in relation to resistance training and olympic lifts. The demonstrating and coaching of these exercises will be in line with professional accreditations (ASCC from the UKSCA and the CSCS from the NSCA).
