This Middlesex University degree is the ideal sports and exercise science route for students who aspire to work with elite athletes. Students will learn how to plan and deliver training programmes, monitor progress and deliver feedback to coaches. Being a fully recognised profession in elite sport, almost all professional clubs now employ a minimum of one strength and conditioning coach. This course will provide students with the knowledge and skills to work with athletes in any sport and of any age.
Alongside designing and implementing evidence-based, sport-specific training programmes, students will master a number of exercise techniques, including Olympic lifting, speed agility and plyometrics. Students will also develop research and data analysis skills, and the ability to present findings to a team.
Students will gain experience as a strength and conditioning coach and scientist through the work-placement module. One of Middlesex University's partner organisations is Saracens Rugby Club and Middlesex's facilities are housed at their nearby Allianz Park stadium where they boast world-class performance laboratories, rehabilitation units and testing facilities. Students will build invaluable industry contacts.
