During their studies in this postgraduate programme, students become well-acquainted with concepts concerning general coaching principles, the application of training protocols, and the impact of these protocols on enhancing and maximizing sports performance.
With a particular emphasis on contemporary scientific research in coaching and sports performance, the MSc Applied Sport and Exercise Sciences (Strength and Conditioning) teaches students how to design specialized assessment and intervention protocols in sports activities for both professional athletes and recreational sports participants.
A compelling highlight of the curriculum is that the learning and training process involves the latest studies and theories concerning the effects of training protocols on different physiological parameters in order to optimize sports performance.
Theoretical knowledge becomes practice through work placement. Students have the opportunity to assist sport groups in performance enhancement and conduct research on a relevant topic that contributes to the analysis strength and conditioning practices.
This opportunity enables students to acquire professional experience, and increase their employability too.
The ultimate objective of the program is to cultivate research skills in students and prepare them to become competent and ethical researchers and successful professionals in the field of sports performance optimization.
