1. Identity and evaluate the main injury prevention, exercise recovery techniques and medicinal interventions used in various sport contexts, applying your knowledge of physiology, psychology and biomechanics.
2. Understand and evaluate the practical skills needed to conduct and assess injury prevention and exercise recovery techniques and be able to relate them to appropriate sport settings.
3. Describe the key theories and principles that explain human injury and recovery from exercise.

This module is concerned with an overview of injury and medicine in the context of sports performance. The module begins by developing an understanding of the role of the sport scientist in a clinical setting, drawing out both professional limits and the opportunities for preventative and rehabilitative work. Next, consideration of the aetiology and incidence of acute and chronic injuries and their rehabilitation. Finally, the module will address some of the key medical issues in sports performance and participation, including immune function, exposure to extreme environments, and overtraining. A multi-disciplinary approach will be taken drawing upon biomechanical, physiological, and psychological knowledge to explore the mechanisms at work in these medical issues.

To provide students with a comprehensive understanding of injury prevention, recovery, and rehabilitation in sport and exercise settings. To develop practical skills in assessing injuries, applying recovery techniques, designing rehabilitation programmes, and critically evaluating evidence-based interventions using physiological, psychological, and biomechanical principles.
