Competency aims

The aim of the course is that the student understands the
possibilities of exercise testing and training when
developing different physical qualities of the individual in
order to perform in the best possible way from the
physiological point of view. The student can plan, execute
and assess an exercise training and physical testing event
for a given target group in sports. The student is aware of
the basic values and ethical principles in anti-doping. The
student learns to work both independently and in a group,
search for, critically evaluate and deal with information and
develop him/herself in his/her own expert area in sports.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student is expected to be able
to
- Understand the testing and training of different physical
performance qualities, their training principles and the
connections between different physical performance
qualities on a deeper and broader physiological level.
- Know how different environmental conditions can affect
sports performance.
- Be aware of ethical principles in anti-doping.
- Plan, execute and assess exercise training and physical
testing according to the goals in sports.
- Find and utilize scientific information in order to motivate
his/her choices in exercise testing and training.
