To put the young person at the centre of the Physical Education & Youth Sport experience, practitioners and researchers must have a detailed knowledge and understanding of young people and the factors influencing their movement and physical activity development. This module will explore young people's development from an interrelated perspective, focussing on those individual and environmental factors that influence their movement development and their involvement in Physical Education & Sport. |
