About this course

Learn how sports science can optimise athletic development, sport performance, and improve health and wellbeing You’ll learn how the human body works on physiological, biomechanical and psychological levels and how to apply this knowledge to training methods, mental techniques and nutritional strategies that enable people to consistently perform at the upper ranges of their abilities. Crucially, you’ll gain insight into how the mind and body respond to the demands of sport and exercise and how they react under intense conditions such as strenuous physical activity or competition. This course is endorsed by The British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES).
