Opleiding: Strenght and Conditioning, MSc

Learning purpose

The Strength and Conditioning Masters at Middlesex in London aims to facilitate accreditation from these awarding bodies as well as providing students with a detailed understanding of the design and implementation of evidence-based, sport-specific training interventions.

With an increasing number of sports graduates, there is now a need for practitioners to demonstrate mastery within the field of Strength and Conditioning.

 

This has in part been augmented by the successful Olympic bid and the inception of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the UK Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA).

The Strength and Conditioning Masters at Middlesex in London aims to facilitate accreditation from these awarding bodies as well as providing students with a detailed understanding of the design and implementation of evidence-based, sport-specific training programmes.

In addition, students are coached at weightlifting, speed, agility and plyometrics. Based at our Hendon Campus in London you will benefit from some of the UK's most innovative and up-to-date teaching and equipment.

 

Course highlights

• * Excellent preparation for UKSCA Accreditation; students already accredited will be able to claim accreditation for prior experiential learning (APEL)
• * Teaching staff are highly qualified and experienced within the field of S&C and currently provide athlete support across a range of sports.
• * The University boosts an impressive research laboratory and new S&C gymnasium for athlete testing and training.

 

Programme

Students will be assessed by a range of modes including practical assessments, case studies, critical reviews, essays, presentations, examinations and a dissertation.

 

Modules

Year 1

 

Advanced Strength and Conditioning Training (30 Credits) - Compulsory
This module aims to provide the students with a detailed understanding of the physiological mechanisms and principles of training used within strength and conditioning programmes. It also aims to develop the students research skills so as they may critically analyse research in order to design and justify their conditioning programmes and remain abreast of scientific advancements. The module also aims to develop the student s practical skills essential to communication, coaching and technique demonstration. Finally, this module aims to facilitate the students through the certification requirements of the UKSCA and NSCA

Applied Physiological and Biomechanical Assessment (30 Credits) - Compulsory
This module aims to provide the students with the ability to critically evaluate the validity and reliability of a wide variety of tests across the many parameters of athletic performance. In addition, it aims to facilitate the student s ability to select and administer these tests, demonstrating a high level of accuracy and mastery in interpretation of data. Finally, it aims to develop the student s ability to design sport-specific testing circuits and subsequent training programmes based on the collected data.

Movement Analysis and Corrective Exercise (30 Credits) - Compulsory
Facilitate the students with the ability to critically assess movement impairment and construct validated corrective exercise programmes. Assist students to develop a critical analysis of research pertaining to corrective exercise and movement impairment. To offer the student the opportunity to become a Corrective Exercise Specialist CES through the National Academy of Sport Medicine NASM

Work Based Learning - Triple Module 1 (60 Credits) - Compulsory

All students will be required to maintain a personal learning log for reflection on practice.

Work Based Research Methods (30 Credits) - Compulsory
To develop critical awareness of research and development issues in the workplace. To reflect upon the position of the worker-researcher and the ethical issues involved. To develop a work-based research project proposal supported by a critical commentary and other output demonstrating engagement and developing understanding of work-based research.
