• SR-144 Foundations in Exercise Science

  This module will introduce principles of exercise science in relation to health and disease from public health and psychosocial perspectives. National recommendations for physical activity and health across the life-course, as well as national policies and approaches will be studied. Students will also develop foundation practical skills and will contextualise these skills in relation to professional work. Students will be expected to apply their skills to selected case studies.

• SR-148 Foundations of Sport Psychology

  The module will provide students with an understanding of core psychological dimensions of sport. Students will examine fundamental theories of sport psychology, covering topics such as motivation, competence, anxiety and the role of significant others in sport. The module provides an essential base for progression to the level 2 module SR-260: Contemporary themes in sport psychology, where recent psychological theories and research relating to a range of areas are discussed.

• SR-256 Exercise Science: Interventions and Applications

  This module will develop principles of exercise science and physical activity and sedentary behaviour interventions. Students will engage with principles of physical activity promotion and theories underpinning these. A greater focus on exercise and health psychology including more detailed skills in measurement of physical activity and sedentary behaviour will be explored. In preparation for independent research students will undertake a case study, which will allow them to contextualise their findings in relation to a physical activity behaviour and health outcomes.

• SR-314 Health Related Exercise

  Physical inactivity and sedentary time create a significant burden on global health. The science that underpins the relationship between physical activity and health has grown considerably over the past 10 years. The World Health Organisation ranks physical inactivity as the 4th largest non-communicable disease related to early death, one place above obesity and the interdisciplinary science in psychology, physiology, biomechanics fuse together in this module. You will work with adults and older people to better understand the factors affecting health, fitness, quality of life and wellbeing and will use public health and field science approaches in workshops and practical to complement your traditional laboratory skillset. The module uses summary science such as systematic reviews, meta-syntheses and meta-analyses to study what works to improve physical activity health and wellbeing in the population. You will be expected to understand case studies and how exercise may affect health and wellbeing and will work on your own and in a group to demonstrate your knowledge both verbally and in writing. Be prepared to recruit friends and family as case studies to complete practical activity and assessment included in the module. Students wishing to work in the health and fitness industry, public health, health promotion, allied health professions, teaching or clinical areas would most benefit from participation in the module.

• SRE704 Research methods and skills

  The ability to critically appraise literature, evaluate research, and conduct research studies is fundamental to developing the field of sport ethics and integrity. This module provides students with the opportunity to develop their understanding of research methods and skills and to apply this knowledge to answer research questions pertinent to the field.
