- Critically analyse contemporary and complex issues both systematically and creatively;
- Analyse and synthesize advanced theories, concepts and principles of sport and exercise sciences
- Collect, synthesize, analyse, and evaluate research data using a wide range of methods;
- Monitor and critically evaluate exercise behaviour and sport performance in laboratory and field settings
- Plan, design, and execute a piece of original research;
1.Critically analyse, evaluate and synthesise developments and hypotheses within Sport and Exercise Sciences, making use of a variety of sources.
2. Effectively apply theoretical and practical knowledge to solve problems in Sport and Exercise Sciences.
3. Effectively communicate to a variety of audiences through, for example, written and oral approaches, scientific, technical and mathematical concepts, and theoretical principles making use of equations, illustrations, figures and references as appropriate to Sport and Exercise Sciences.
4.Demonstrate a range of skills in Sport and Exercise Sciences relevant to fundamental and applied research in academia, industry and the patient/public environment with support as appropriate.
5.Collect, process, analyse, interpret and effectively communicate data, numerical, non-numerica land visual, using appropriate techniques and tools, form logical and reasonable conclusions and recommendations, using appropriate support where necessary.
6.Effectively follow practical experimental protocols and use a range of techniques and apparatus in the laboratory and/or field environment, as appropriate in Sport and Exercise Sciences, competently and safely, using appropriate support where necessary.
7.Design, plan and carry out a research project with appropriate support as necessary.
8.Work within health and safety, environmental, and ethical frameworks.
9.Effectively collaborate as a member of a team working on a shared task relevant to Sport and Exercise Sciences with appropriate support where required.
Students will have had the opportunity to develop and refine, as defined in the modules specified for the programme:
- Time management skills: manage time effectively and work to deadlines;
- Client handling skills: effectively manage a wide range of professional relationships;
- Team working skills: interact effectively as a group member to solve problems;
- Problem solving skills: effectively select and apply problem solving techniques to a wide variety of situations;
- Communication skills: present an engaging and convincing oral presentation;
- Self-learning skills: work independently and demonstrate personal responsibility
- Apply a wide range of theoretical concepts and research findings to sport and exercise science settings;
- Employ a variety of methods to measure, record and analyse sport and exercise science data;
- Monitor human health and performance through exercise testing, and critically evaluate participant data to develop/design exercise interventions.
Achievement will be assessed by a variety of methods in accordance with the learning outcomes of the modules specified for the year/programme and will include:
- demonstrating the ability top apply a broad range of aspects of sport and exercise science;
- work that draws on a wide variety of material;
- the ability to evaluate and criticise received opinion;
- evidence of an ability to conduct independent, in depth enquiry within sport and exercise science;
- work that is typically both evaluative and creative.
