This module combines Conditioning (power, plyometrics and conditioning for special populations), Community Physical Activity and programming, and supplementary activities and exercise sessions through ETA, and variation individual and group tasks.

As you know, you will be required to compile a Portfolio of Evidence for the module, as well as complete various assessments.

Reminder, this module is a CAM (continuous assessment) module, which means there is no exam, only a final term mark of accumulated marks, which must fall above 49% to gain a passing grade. Attendance for SSBR316 sessions is compulsory, and a secondary requirement for gaining credit.

Assessments : Theory Test, Group Presentations, Case Study, Practical Assessment and Portfolio of Evidence

Dates: TBC
