The Sport and Exercise Science course is designed to cover the
application of scientific principles on three branches of science –
biomechanics, physiology and interdisciplinary approaches. The
sports science area largely offers expert scientific backup for top
sport training and performance, while exercise science has a central
role in physical programmes aimed at improving general health. The
qualified sport and exercise scientist can expect to have a broad
technical and physiological knowledge, and stands to benefit from
current developments within the field offering a professional status
that is recognised worldwide. |
The Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science covers a broad,
multidisciplinary study of sport and exercise science. Students will
be introduced the sports concepts and practices, principles of
coaching, health and wellness, and various games in sports.
Students will develop knowledge and understanding of how
scientific methods can be used to examine sport and exercise
activities in subjects such as anatomy and physiology, sports
psychology, sport biomechanics and motor learning and
development. Other topics include sports management,
maintenance of sport facilities, sports injuries, legal and ethical
issues in sports, and sports nutrition. |
