SPO5003M-2021-22-SEM1-A SPO5003M | Key Pedagogical Behaviours of Sport Educators | 2021-22 SEM1 (Group A)
Module Aims
The role of the coach and teacher is critical to participation and performance at all levels. This module introduces key pedagogical concepts that allow students to have a critical understanding of the need to plan, teach and evaluate sessions which facilitate the learning and development needs of children in the context of the National Curriculum in Physical Education Key Stages 1 & 2, along with the LTAD active start, fundamentals and learning to train stages. Upon successful completion of the module students will be able to:
1. Explain principles of effective evidence-based coaching and/or teaching
2. Compare coaching and/or teaching strategies used in learning environments
3. Critique practice in coaching and/or teaching through observation
Module InformationThe taught sessions take place on a Friday at Haxby Road. Students should bring kit appropriate for use in the Sports Barn.

SPO5009M-2021-22-SEM2 SPO5009M | Sports Injury Prevention | 2021-22 SEM2
This module will take a biopsychosocial approach to the teaching of sports injury prevention and focusses on an interdisciplinary and systematic approach to preventing injuries and illness in sport and exercise. The content will be heavily applied and encourage both theoretical and practical experiential engagement in this topic. Students will be constantly challenged to apply both theory and empirical evidence to unfamiliar and problem based case scenarios. The prevention of sports injury is core competency of professional bodies in sport and exercise therapy e.g. prevention, and education and professional practice issue. This module provides a useful applied connective learning experience from Year One (Physiology, Psychology, Biomechanics), whilst advancing understanding and skills developed in Year Two Sport and Exercise Biomechanics, and Sport and Exercise Therapy Skills. Students are expected to reflect on the sport and exercise therapy competencies developed in this module and how these have been experienced and achieved through work related learning. This module aims to enhance theoretical understanding of how to implement preventative strategies, practical skills in delivering preventative strategies, and develop applied awareness of sports injury preventive strategies

A key distinguishing feature of a Sports Therapist compared to other clinical therapies, is the requirement to prepare the athlete for high-level, dynamic sporting actions rather than activities of daily living exclusively. Working in reverse by using demands of sport as key determinants for return to play decision making, and whilst optimising trainability of the athlete throughout the rehabilitation process students can facilitate a performance-based approach to return to sport (RtS). Students will work through a systematic, and athlete-centred continuum where progress is governed by performance against structured criterion measures relevant to the sport and routinely monitored to prevent maladaptation (i.e., re-injury setback). Students will be required to prescribe, coach, and evaluate appropriate exercises whilst adopting a biopsychosocial approach to their delivery and assessment process.
It is anticipated that students will apply principles of conditioning established in Introduction to Strength and Conditioning for Sports Therapy, whilst learning how to manipulate these to meet the relevant stage of rehabilitation. Students will be challenged through various problem-based learning tasks whereby they can utilise clinical reasoning, professional placement experience and contemporary literature to optimise athletic trainability. As a result, this module also connects experiences established in Introduction to Strength and Conditioning for Sports Therapy, Sport and Exercise Therapy Placement and Practice and Anatomy and Physiology for Sport and Exercise.- Enrolled students: 29
