![]() | Aims: To explore the theoretical underpinning of different strength training paradigms and the biological mechanisms associated with strength and power adaptations. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit students will be able to: * Demonstrate a critical understanding of the biochemical, genetic and mechanical factors associated with strength and power development. * Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the complex structural adaptions which occur under different strength training regimes in relation to muscle, tendon, bone and neural systems. * Use the research evidence to systematically and creatively evaluate the efficacy of selected specific strength and power training regimes for specific populations. * Gain an appreciation and use procedures for testing strength / power metrics and for monitoring adaptations. * Apply knowledge of the proposed adaptations to different strength training regimes in the design of individualised training programmes. Skills: Knowledge and Understanding - taught, facilitated and assessed Intellectual Skills - facilitated and assessed Written Communication - facilitated and assessed Spoken communication - facilitated Information Technology - taught and facilitated Problem Solving - taught, facilitated and assessed Data Acquisition, Handling and Analysis - taught and facilitated Working Independently - facilitated and assessed Working as part of a group - facilitated Content: * Genetic and biochemical basis for strength and power adaptation; * Muscle, tendon, bone and neural adaptations to strength and power training; * Theory, implementation and monitoring of specific strength training regimes; * Efficacy of strength training for specific target populations. | Before taking this module you must take HL20108 AND take HL20185 |
