Description

This course examines how to analyse and apply practical multi-disciplinary sport science knowledge to enhance performance with a few extreme, i.e. non-traditional sports. The course is both practical and theoretical and requires students to use a step-by-step methodical approach to research, collect, analyse, report and ultimately present findings. Students experience first-hand how a sport scientist interacts professionally with athletes and coaches throughout this process.
