Course summary

At La Retraite the Cambridge Technical in Sport and Physical Activity provides students with theoretical knowledge as well as practical opportunities to develop relevant core knowledge and skills. Students further develop their skills through specialist pathways that help them deliver sport and physical activity to a wide range of participants. Students develop knowledge of the human body, its systems and how they function to ensure individuals understand the benefits on an active, healthy lifestyle. Students further explore the understanding of the structures and functions of the key body systems, how these support and impact performance in sport and physical activity and the effects that physical activity, training and lifestyle can have on them. Our students will also extend their skills through exploring the roles and responsibilities of coaches and leaders and how these differ from each other and others involved in delivering and teaching sport and physical activity. They will further reflect on their own practice and using this feedback to improve their performance as a sports coach or activity leader. Furthermore, students will develop understanding of the organizations involved in sport in the UK, their roles and responsibilities and how they work together. They will also gain an understanding of sports development, including the organizations involved, who sports development is targeted at and why, how sports development is carried out and how the success of sports development initiatives can be measured. The sports curriculum also allows students to develop skills in planning, promoting and delivering a sports event; with a focus primarily on an individual role as well as working as part of a team and reflecting on input and future personal development. This unit will enable you to establish transferrable skills which can be used within sport and active leisure as well as within the fitness industry. It will also enhance skills such as team work, organization and safeguarding awareness. Finally students will be taught how to teach you how to recognize and treat common sports injuries both immediately and through long-term rehabilitation programmed, the possible psychological impacts of sports injuries and how to minimize the risk of sports injuries occurring in the first instance.
