About
This module explores the foundational concepts of human movement through applied biomechanics, functional anatomy, and core physical principles as they relate to athletic performance. Delivered through a fully online mode, students engage with video demonstrations, structured coaching simulations, and reflective analysis tasks to explore the complex relationships between internal movement mechanisms and external environmental constraints. Through real-world coaching observations or simulations, students will evaluate movement patterns, adapt technical models, and apply critical problem-solving approaches in their own professional context. The module prepares students to supervise movement training, contribute to athlete development planning, and integrate human movement principles into team or organisational strategies.
Teachers

About
This module focuses on the development and transfer of strength and power into dynamic athletic movements such as sprinting, agility, and change of direction (COD). Students will explore the biomechanical, neurological, and contextual factors that influence locomotor performance in sports. Delivered fully online, the module uses movement analysis platforms, technical model breakdowns, and virtual training design workshops to enable students to develop and critique individualized programs. Emphasis is placed on data-informed coaching, interdisciplinary collaboration, and context-relevant decision-making for performance enhancement.
