Sport can be a complex environment, with athletes needing support to address the way in which the athlete(s) is managed to maximise performance, when required, in a range of very diverse environments.<br/><br/>This course aims to provide the student with a thorough understanding of possible contributors to production performance – from a micro- to macro- level. Such understanding enables the individual to contribute positively to athletic performance. Developing a thorough scientific understanding, combined with the ability to apply that knowledge practically, will enable the individual to take a proactive role in the industry following graduation. The WUC approach of ‘science into practice’ is never more evident than in this course and the development of excellent communication skills will be a key graduate attribute for students who have undertaken this award.
