SPT3433: Applied Exercise Biomechanics (20 credits)Applied Exercise Biomechanics enhances your knowledge of theoretical approaches in biomechanics, with emphasison independent research and advanced methodological procedures. The module applies theoretical concepts ofbiomechanics to the analysis of strength and conditioning training exercises. The application of statics and dynamicshelps estimate internal loads in the musculoskeletal system, including compressive stress, muscle forces, joint reactionforces and joint movements which may lead either to adaptation of biological tissues or to acute or chronic injurythrough inappropriate exercise activity. Muscle function is assessed objectively through the application of isokineticdynamometry and surface electromyography which permit isolating weak muscle groups. The module will assist in thedevelopment of effective conditioning programmes and the design of exercise equipment.

This module will explore the theoretical frameworks and empiricalevidence concerning how the brain controls movements and consider how this knowledge can be applied in theoptimisation of movement skills and expertise development. You will gain an understanding of the contemporaryissues in, and approaches to influence, both the control and learning of human movement, with a specific focus onapplying this knowledge in real-world environments.

SPT3440: Applied Sport and Exercise Nutrition (20 credits)Applied Sport and Exercise Nutrition offers you the opportunity to study the role and relevance of sport and exercisenutrition in a more focused and applied manner. The module will focus on the use of nutritional strategies in both acuteand chronic scenarios to maximise adaptation to training, as well as before, during and after sport and exercise events.The module will examine the importance of individualising nutritional strategies for specific clients/athletes. Themodule will enable you to critically evaluate these factors and discuss how the use of the most effective nutritionalstrategy can influence sport and exercise performance.
