Sports Science with Exercise Physiology - US 951 - Athlone Campus

What is this course about?
This degree combines areas such as
performance testing, nutrition, exercise
therapy for recovery and biomechanics.
Over the course of four years, you will learn
how the human body operates, from the
physiology of the heart to the operation
and interaction of the respiratory, nervous,
urinary and reproductive systems. You
will learn about the biomechanics of sport
and how this can be modified to improve
performance. Furthermore, you will study
the pathophysiology of injuries and diseases
and the use of exercise in rehabilitation
from these conditions. You will develop
expertise in testing and analysing athletes’
performance, including the physiology of
the high-performance athlete in a state-ofthe-
art sports science laboratory (featuring
treadmills, watt bike and other performance
bikes, alter-g treadmill, optojump, dartfish,
douglas bags, metabolic system, lactate
threshold testing and much more). The
degree also includes modules on sports
psychology and coaching. As a student
on the degree, you will be facilitated in
acquiring coaching qualifications in your
chosen sporting activity by liaising with
the relevant national governing body
and timetabling the training sessions
on a specific day. A unique part of this
course is the six-month work placement
undertaken in the summer of third year. This
will provide you with valuable experience
of the working environment in the sports
science and exercise physiology field.
