What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content
This paper aims to promote a critical and innovative understanding of the role of science, technology and analytics for informing best practice exercise prescription within the wellness, fitness and sporting industries. Students will explore both the mechanistic and applied aspects of how various technologies combined with aspects of sport science are used to develop both effective exercise interventions and recovery options. Students will also critically explore strategies and tools for monitoring individuals wellness, fitness, performance and physiological changes against established norms, benchmark targets and safety thresholds.
