Sports Science with Exercise Physiology - US 951 - Athlone Campus What is this course about? This degree combines areas such as performance testing, nutrition, exercise therapy for recovery and biomechanics. Over the course of four years, you will learn how the human body operates, from the physiology of the heart to the operation and interaction of the respiratory, nervous, urinary and reproductive systems. You will learn about the biomechanics of sport and how this can be modified to improve performance. Furthermore, you will study the pathophysiology of injuries and diseases and the use of exercise in rehabilitation from these conditions. You will develop expertise in testing and analysing athletes’ performance, including the physiology of the high-performance athlete in a state-ofthe- art sports science laboratory (featuring treadmills, watt bike and other performance bikes, alter-g treadmill, optojump, dartfish, douglas bags, metabolic system, lactate threshold testing and much more). The degree also includes modules on sports psychology and coaching. As a student on the degree, you will be facilitated in acquiring coaching qualifications in your chosen sporting activity by liaising with the relevant national governing body and timetabling the training sessions on a specific day. A unique part of this course is the six-month work placement undertaken in the summer of third year. This will provide you with valuable experience of the working environment in the sports science and exercise physiology field.
