Summary	This course will develop work previously undertaken in Year 1. In Kinesiology, the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system will be considered. Knowledge of this is required to analyse the methods by which human movement is performed. The course will include theoretical and laboratory based tasks and practical kinesiological analysis of selected sporting movements. The Psychological strand of the course focuses on individual aspects of sport performance. Topics addressed will include emotional, anxiety/arousal, attention, control mechanisms and their evaluation, and coping. Within this element of the course students will be introduced to relevant theoretical approaches, together with applied techniques and implications for practice which accrue. The use of laboratory style tasks in tandem with more concentrated seminar/ tutorial work will enable this integration of theory and practice.
