KNPE 345 The Science and Methodology of Sport Training Conditioning Programs Units: 3.00
This course focuses on the development of sport conditioning programs from periodization concepts to specific training components and how the components can be integrated to create a comprehensive and balanced athlete training plan. Laboratory sessions will work on skill development applicable to conducting training and conditioning programs.
Learning Hours: 126 (36 Lecture, 18 Practicum, 72 Private Study)
Requirements: Prerequisite Level 3 or above and registration in a KINE Plan and KNPE 227/3.0.
Corequisite KNPE 254/3.0.
Offering Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Apply the basic applications of the exercise sciences (Musculoskeletal, Neuromuscular, Cardiorespiratory, Bioenergetics, Endocrine and Biomechanics) within the context of a physical training program.
- Recognize professional pathways into the fields of personal training and strength and conditioning.
- Coach progressions and regressions of movement patterns and properly cue exercises to develop appropriate movement patterns.
- Describe and administer the principles of sport testing, warmups, mobility, resistance training, energy system development and recovery modalities.
- Apply programming periodization models that allow for performance planning and yearly/monthly/weekly training planning.
- Apply the principles of velocity-based training, using the GymAware technology. This technology will allow students to bridge the gap between research and practical training with real time measurement.
- Integrate all components of a sport training program to produce an effective and multifaceted yearly training plan.
