This unit builds and extends on knowledge previously gained in the unit Principles of Exercise Programming by examining assessment of the athlete with specific reference to the sport of football. Students will gain an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of athlete assessment as it relates to football and gain practical experience administering laboratory and field based tests of muscular endurance, strength, power, aerobic endurance, agility, anthropometry and flexibility in this cohort of athletes. Emphasis will also be placed on data analysis, report generation, interpretation of test results and considerations such as allometric/dimensional scaling will be addressed.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Lectures, seminars and laboratories.
