Description

This unit provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the theories and methods which provide the framework for implementing a strength and conditioning-based monitoring program. Students will learn how to apply these methods and interpret the results achieved with these methods in order to guide the training process in both individual- and team sports-based environments.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must have passed SPS5113, SPS5133 and SPS6108.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Construct a monitoring program for individual or team sports using contemporary monitoring practices.
  2. Critically evaluate monitoring program results to formulate effective training interventions.
  3. Prescribe training interventions for individual or team-sports, based upon monitoring program results.

Unit Content

  1. Rationale for monitoring athletes.
  2. Research tools for athlete monitoring.
  3. Physiological effects of training stress.
  4. Quantifying training stress.
  5. Measuring fitness and fatigue.
  6. Current monitoring practices and technologies.
  7. Athlete monitoring guidelines for individual sports.
  8. Athlete monitoring guidelines for team sports.
  9. Constructing a monitoring program.

Learning Experience

Students will engage in learning experiences through ECUs LMS as well as additional ECU l

Additional Learning Experience Information

This unit will be delivered using technology-enhanced learning. Students will be required to access and use a variety of digital learning materials to prepare for and engage in discussion and activities related to athlete monitoring. Learning activities and assignments will develop communication and analytical abilities of students as well as providing opportunities to discover, discuss and apply theory in a meaningful context. Students need to be actively engaged in the unit by reading the required readings, listening to recorded lectures and participating in critical discussions related to monitoring within Blackboard.
