SCOND6001 Design and Instruction of Programs to Develop Strength Qualities

This course is designed to enable students to design safe and effective training programs for enhancing strength qualities (strength, power, reactive strength, strength-endurance and power-endurance). Students will define and distinguish the differing strength qualities while learning to systematically manipulate program variables to achieve specific training goals. The efficacy of various strength training exercises and methods will be analysed to assist students with evidence-based program design. Additionally, students will learn advanced strength training exercises and programming strategies. The course will develop the skills of analysing exercise technique, detecting and correcting faults. The mechanisms driving the development of various strength qualities will be explored to providing in in-depth understating of the biological basis underpinning training theory. Furthermore, Students will learn about the selection and implementation of tests to assess strength qualities.
