Additional information

Unit content:

This unit aims to help students understand:

  • The structure of skeletal muscles and underlying physiology of muscle contraction
  • The distinctions between training for different muscular adaptations
  • The importance of appropriate testing for muscle function
  • The responses to resistance training of different population groups
  •  How to instruct and coach a range of resistance training exercises
  •  How to design a resistance training program to meet an individual’s specific needs
