The programme is focused on the disciplines of sport and exercise physiology, sport and exercise psychology, sport and exercise biomechanics and research methods. The programme is accredited by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) and endorsed by the BASES Undergraduate Endorsement Scheme (BUES) meaning that graduates can be assured that the course provides them with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills that BASES considers essential to enter into the profession.
All Sports students undertake a common Year 1. This provides a foundation of knowledge and the basis for students to then choose which of the sports programmes offered at Winchester they wish to pursue in Years 2 and 3.
The Sport and Exercise Physiology strand gives students an understanding of the physiology underpinning exercise and sports performance and provides opportunities to test this understanding in a range of practical/applied settings.
The Sport and Exercise Psychology strand enables students to make an informed assessment of those psychological factors which may influence an individual’s involvement and performance in sport and exercise.
The Sport and Exercise Biomechanics Strand provides students with the opportunity to apply the laws of physics and the principles of mechanics to exercise and sports performance.
The Research Methods strand seeks to develop a familiarity with both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and apply these to various sporting and exercise contexts.
