SummaryResistance training is a cornerstone of most sports training programmes thus adequate knowledge of resistance training principles as well as the practical aspects of resistance training is paramount for a wide range of professionals. This module is concerned with improvement of athletic performance through resistance training. The course includes a brief overview of various biochemical and physiological systems and 1) provides a comprehensive comparative overview of the biochemical, biomechanical and physiological responses and adaptations to resistive training 2) provides a comprehensive study of training theory and methodologies with emphasis on enhancement of maximum strength, power and high intensity exercise endurance, and 3) provides practical, hands-on experience with various resistance training exercises and techniques.

Learning outcomes will be achieved by methods including lectures, demonstrations, workshops and directed reading.
