This module is not approved as a discovery module
This module builds on the previous topics on biomechanics, and motor control, alongside sport and exercise psychology introduced in year 1 in the Fundamental Concepts modules from Semester 1 and 2. This looks further at applied concepts including application to research and advanced theories in group behaviour.
By studying this module, learners should have gained an advanced understanding of how core concepts are applied to modern research and practises and be able to demonstrate the learning outcomes.
On a weekly basis there will be an active learning session which will require learners to actively engage with the concepts and examples presented as pre-recorded screencasts prior to these sessions. The active learning session will allow for consolidation, application and discussion of the topics covered.
On successful completion of the module students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of movement in different environments and the roles of biological and engineered materials in relation to performance
2. Evaluate key concepts and theories in group dynamics and their effects on interpersonal processes and group behaviour in sport.
Skills Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the module students will be able to:
1. Write in a clear, concise, focused and structured manner that is supported by relevant experimental evidence from the published literature.
2. Communicate your ideas accurately and effectively, with individuals/and in groups
3. Identify how theory is put into practice through research
