Let your sports performance career take off with a specialisation in strength and conditioning, video analysis, or nutrition. This course develops insightful, competent, critical, and reflective practitioners with the experience and insight to optimise the performance of any sportsperson. Your study of physiology, psychology, and biomechanics will inform your knowledge of sports performance for speed, endurance, team, and strength sports. All this at your own pace too — full-time over a year, or part-time over two years.
