The aims of this module are:

• To support students' transition into and progression through university education by developing the core academic and vocational knowledge and skills required for their programme and future careers.
• To introduce the use of basic research methods relevant to students' disciplines.
• To enable students to become aware of and develop their academic, professional, social and personal skills through the Loughborough University Personal Best development programme.

The aims of this module are for students to develop knowledge and understanding of the underlying social science theories and topical debates that relate to sport, coaching and pedagogy and to acquire the necessary level of understanding to progress to more sociologically specific modules at Parts B and C.

The aim of this module is to examine the anatomical structures of the body and the ways that the muscular and skeletal systems interact during human movement, exercise and sport.

The implications of these changes on structure and function as they relate to sport, exercise and physical activity will also be discussed.

The aim of this module is for students to develop foundational knowledge and understanding of the core sport and exercise science disciplines of psychology, biomechanics and physiology.

The aims of this module are for students to develop a holistic understanding of coaching and coaching practice, and to introduce students to evidence-based research and research-informed practice.

The aim of this module is for students to develop fundamental teaching skills and the basic pedagogical knowledge needed to develop an understanding of the principles underpinning effective PE teaching in selected practical activities.
