This module focuses on functional rehabilitation within the practice of sports therapy. Exercise as an essential component of injury management, injury prevention and performance enhancement is fundamental to this module. Students will develop their abilities to prescribe and deliver progressive exercise programmes. They will be able to make reasoned decisions in the selection of exercise focused on: flexibility, endurance, strength, power / speed, skill and co-ordination. Return to sport, warm-up and cool down will be explored. Within this module students will explore the participation of specific populations in exercise and sport, including: the elderly, children and those with disabilities. They will also consider the role of exercise and mental health.

This module will consist of limited taught sessions to introduce concepts leading to a focus on problem based learning both individually and as small groups. Demonstration of practical aspects will be given with the view to getting students to develop and present programmes of exercise including warm-up, cool downs and also pre-participation screening plans. The theoretical grasp of such concepts of specificity will be gained but will also be looked at from a very practical / applied perspective.
The learning, teaching and assessment of this module are closely integrated. A variety of teaching approaches will be used. Exercise physiology sessions will begin with short whole group lecture to introduce the key concepts of exercise physiology. Applied examples of how this knowledge can be of value in a practical and real life context will be interwoven into these taught and student led sessions.
Interactive theory classes will be used to introduce and develop knowledge and application of progressive forms of exercise intervention in health and with links to injury and healing of tissues. There will be tutorial sessions for collaborative learning through group work and independent study, both directed and self-directed.
