Content
In Sports Science Literature Review and Application, students will develop and apply their research skills to a specific research area within applied sport science. Students will learn specific research skills essential for conducting a systematic review and meta-analyses OR for the provision of practical recommendations relating to the application of specific training methods and the interpretation of associated performance outcomes.
They will work with a supervisory team to produce either (1) a critical literature review OR (2) an applied topic focusing on recommendations related to the practical application of a specific training method.
Students will then complete a brief research proposal based on the literature review OR on the practical recommendations.
All students will be introduced to the ethical conduct of sport science research and practice.
Please note:
1) It is possible that the critical literature review OR the applied topic may be prepared, in consultation with the supervisory team, as a publishable standard of work to meet part of the requirements for submission to the Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (ASCA) for Level 2 Sports Scientist accreditation.
2) HSE728 Sports Science Literature Review and Application can be selected as a stand-alone unit; it is not essential to complete HSE729.
3) Whilst every effort will be made to align the project areas completed in HSE728 and HSE729, on occasion this may not be possible.
