11 I liked the fact that studying gave me a break from playing and vice versa. I love playing rugby, but I know that it s not for ever and I knew even at school that I d need a career when my playing days were over. I really loved my course too. The lecturers and other students are like one big family, and I enjoyed the hands-on nature of my studies. I also believe that my degree could work well with my rugby career I could provide sports rehab support for my club on days when I m not playing or training. Juggling a degree and a burgeoning playing career required discipline and understanding from both sides. Thankfully, Hull FC and the University were brilliantly supportive. When I was at Hull FC, the club were happy for me to come to university for classes on the days I needed to, even if there was a clash with a training session; and the University allowed me an extension on my work when I was chosen to play for the first team.

14 Our Single Honours degrees offer three distinctive educational routes. Sports and Fitness Centre Sport rehabilitation Sport, Health and Exercise Psychology The modules that make up this strand examine the contribution that psychology can make to our understanding of sport/exercise participation and performance and to our understanding of human cognition and behaviour in sport. They focus on the psychology in sport psychology and offer an in-depth understanding of the athlete and exerciser. Anatomy and Human Physiology These units aim to introduce the basic anatomy of joints and muscles and include consideration of the physiology of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, kidney and fluid balance and the nervous system. Year 2 and 3 modules examine such topics as the biochemistry of exercise and the mechanisms that control energy metabolism. Research Methods These modules aim firstly, to develop an understanding of research design, methodology and analysis using qualitative and quantitative approaches. They include work in experimental and descriptive methodologies and involve the application of statistical tests and forms of survey method with real data. Later modules provide the skills to conduct empirical studies of individuals and groups. Introduction to Coaching Pedagogy This strand explores the teaching and learning process in sport an issue that is fundamental to coaching success, whether in elite or recreational, adult or junior settings and examines the complex nature of pedagogical practice in coaching. As well as analysing different theoretical positions, you apply this knowledge in a practical coaching setting and reflect on your own learning and development as a coach. Analysis of Human Movement The biomechanics thread running through Years 1, 2 and 3 introduces you to the analysis of human movement in sport and health. The first module considers the application of functional anatomy to movement analysis. In Years 2 and 3, you develop a fuller understanding of movement technique analysis in various sports and examine performance factors using film and force analysis. In Year 3, you also have the option of conducting biomechanical analysis of movement from a clinical perspective.
