This will principally include all aspects of strength training, speed and agility training, power development and will also include application of selected principles of exercise prescription/fitness testing and integration of relevant psychological motivational techniques used to enhance optimum human performance development. Lectures and laboratory sessions will be incorporated to promote hands-on knowledge of human performance development techniques.
