About Study Course
Objective
To provide students with in-depth knowledge and skills in sports science, highlighting the latest theoretical achievements and their practical application in the periodisation, renewal and high performance provision of training at both national and international level. The course offers a comprehensive analytical understanding in training periodisation, focusing on developing talent and achieving maximum performance in youth, elite and professional individual and team sports in Latvia. Participants will learn how to develop, develop, develop and analyse different training and recovery methods by applying these competences in training and competitions.
Preliminary Knowledge
Knowledge of sports physiology, sports nutrition and sports psychology provided with comprehensive knowledge of the training process and innovation.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Students demonstrate in-depth and analytically reflective knowledge of the theoretical aspects of the innovation of the training process, their application to the optimization of athletic performance, renewal and adaptation in individual and team sports.
2.Students are able to analyse the principles of evidence-based training programme development by evaluating their effectiveness and suitability for the realisation of various sporting achievements and goals.
Skills
1.Students are able to independently develop and implement training periodisation plans, analyse performance data, evaluate workout loads and apply appropriate recovery strategies using data analysis and scientifically based decision-making principles.
2.Students demonstrate the ability to integrate scientific research results into the improvement of the training process by tailoring them to specific athlete needs and practical training environments.
Competences
1.Student competencies enable independent development, analytical evaluation and development of innovative patterns of training and renewal, tailored to athletes with varying levels of fitness, sports and disciplines.
2.Students are able to contribute professionally and research-based to the development of the sports training process by introducing and evaluating innovative practices based on the latest opinions of sports science.
