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.
