Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course, students will be able to:
- plan, conduct, and evaluate performance analyses within a chosen sport,
- critically evaluate and interpret test and research results when applying performance and capacity analyses,
- explain the principles of long-term training planning and peak performance preparation,
- create and present a training plan for a specific target group based on performance and/or capacity analyses,
- evaluate and critically review training plans for different target groups.
Course Content
The course covers the planning and implementation of various methods for analysing technical, tactical, and/or physiological variables, with a focus on their impact on athletic performance.
Based on performance analyses, particular emphasis is placed on students designing test protocols to conduct capacity analyses of a group or individuals in a selected sport. Drawing from performance and capacity analyses, students will create and present a long-term training plan. The course also includes critical evaluation and review of both self-designed and peer-designed training plans.
Assessment
- Oral presentations.
- Individual written project work.
