Course summary

This course is centered around how the body and mind work during sports and exercise. There are opportunities to apply this knowledge and understanding practically, as well as research opportunities that help develop skills applicable to higher education. You will cover a range of theory-based topics, including functional anatomy and applied sport and exercise psychology. These units explore the way the systems of the body work together and improve with exercise, as well as the way the mind approaches and responds to exercise environments. In addition, you may also engage in gym-based lessons to explore ways in which the body responds to exercise and different training methods.
