| Aims:
| To adopt a multidisciplinary approach to identify the factors influencing injury and illness and appraise how the field of sport and exercise medicine can contribute to injury prevention, performance enhancement and a healthy lifestyle.
|
| Learning Outcomes: | - Appraise the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches within sport and exercise medicine;
- Examine the biomechanical and physiological stresses placed upon the musculo-skeletal system during sporting and exercise activities;
- Evaluate the limits of the human body and how they can adapt to training to infer how these stresses can lead to common injuries and illnesses;
- Discuss and evaluate the common methods used to prevent injuries in various sporting activities and the emergency procedures that can be adopted in acute sporting injury scenarios;
- Interpret the principles of tissue healing and rehabilitation in the context of management of common injuries of soft tissue and bone;
- Appraise the use and impact of technology on the monitoring, diagnoses and treatment of exercise, sport and injuries;
- Evaluate the use of drugs in sport, both for treating common sporting injuries and performance enhancement.
