| Learning Outcomes: |
- Identify and investigate contemporary problems in sport, exercise and health science research.
- Critically appraise research methods and techniques employed in contemporary sport, exercise and health science research.
- Appraise the advantages and limitations of interdisciplinary approaches in tackling problems in sport, exercise and health science research.
- Synthesise and evaluate scientific literature from contemporary research studies to formulate new scientific interpretations.
- Construct coherent and considered discussion and arguments regarding the theoretical foundation and practical application of contemporary research findings in the real world.
- Design, develop and disseminate findings from interdisciplinary research to fellow scientists.
|
| Aims: | To heighten awareness and nurture interest in a range of contemporary interdisciplinary topics in sport, exercise and health research. The unit will employ a variety of applied, student-led approaches that foster enquiry and deepen knowledge in specific interdisciplinary study topics.
|
| Content: | In this unit, students will identify, investigate and evaluate contemporary and interdisciplinary problems in sport, exercise and health science research via a range of applied, student-led teaching and learning approaches. This will include a number of cycles of enquiry-based learning spanning core disciplines (e.g. biomechanics, physiology, psychology and/or social science and public health) and with a focus on 'Prevention' (e.g. cancer, injury, tobacco and alcohol addiction) and 'Rehabilitation and Management' (e.g. behaviour change, obesity and sports performance) and concluding with a student conference.
