The theme of the module is contemporary issues in the science of sport and exercise, and their implications in health and/or performance contexts for individuals, groups, or society. You will have the opportunity to examine selected issues in depth from a range of options, engage with cutting-edge research, develop informed opinions on the topics, and to present information in different formats. The module is a departure from the traditional module style to which you have been accustomed. There will be some lectures but the module will require background reading for each of the topics discussed.
