The learning outcomes detailed below will be achieved through the following teaching methodologies: Lectures – The lecturer will use a combination of lecture, Questions & Answers, group discussion and presentations. Problem Solving Exercises – Students will work as part of a team and will work together to resolve various tasks associated with the interpretation of data in both theory and practical classes. Class Discussion/Debate - Students will be encouraged to actively participate in the class sessions which will develop their analytical and communication skills. Self-Directed Independent Learning – The emphasis on independent learning will develop strong and autonomous work and learning practices.
Module Aim:
The aim of this module is to develop students’ applied knowledge and understanding of sports performance analysis. Students will be expected to engage in the process of sports performance analysis and become competent in using different techniques to analyse sports performance. The students will also develop transferable skills such as presentation skills, team-work, communication, project management and working to deadlines.

On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1
Demonstrate the technical skills and knowledge to perform within a sports performance analysis setting
LO2
Show proficiency in the use of performance analysis software
LO3
Plan and undertake the sports performance analysis of a series of perfromances

Project
Students will be required to complete a computerised performance analysis project and present their analysis. The output from previous coursework will be imported into performance analysis software, analysed using a system designed by the student. Once analysed, students will be required to devise and present to a targeted audience.
