The University of Chichester offers two ofthe few BASES endorsed programmes in theUK. We also offer an accredited BPSprogramme in sport and exercise psychologyand our sports therapy degree is endorsedby The Society of Sports Therapists.

Sport and exercise is perhaps the one areaof sport that has expanded most rapidlyover the last decade with the introduction ofgovernment funding for Sport ScienceSupport Services on the one hand, andpublic health and well-being on the other.

The University has a well-establishedOlympic heritage dating back to the 1988Seoul Games, and continues to be involvedin the training and preparation of Olympicathletes.

Some of our recent successes have included:• Ben Ainslie – Sailing 4th Olympic Gold• Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell – Sailing• Ian Percy and Andrew Simpson – Sailing• Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark – Sailing• Nick Dempsey – Windsurfing• Amir Khan – Boxing• Pete Waterfield/Leon Taylor – Diving

Sports Coaching Science(BSc Hons)

6

This course aims to developeffective coaches through theapplication of sport andexercise science. The coursewill develop educated coaches,offering practical skills with atheoretical underpinning in thefields of Biomechanics,Psychology, Physiology and SkillAcquisition.

The course is delivered by highly qualifiedcoaches who have worked at the highestlevel, and who are coach educators withgoverning bodies of Sport. Chichester offersone of only a few BASES-endorsedprogrammes in the UK. Over the last decadethe vocational opportunities for coaches havegrown immensely. Athletes at all levels lookto their coach for advice, guidance andsupport, thus placing huge demands on theirknowledge and skills. You will develop anunderstanding of the underlying principlescontrolling performance and learning. Theanalysis of coaching practice also forms animportant part of the degree, wheretraditional and non-traditional methods arecritically examined. You will be expected totake part in practical coaching sessions,culminating in a work placement in yearthree. With experience of delivering sportscience support to Olympic medal winners,Chichester is well placed to provide asignificant contribution to athlete services forthe 2016 Olympic Games.

92%Student SatisfactionThe National Student Survey is anindependent market research survey carriedout by Ipsos MORI. Final year students areasked about their experience of the course.Our undergraduate sports courses deliveredin the department of Sport and ExerciseSciences achieved an average studentsatisfaction rating of 92% in the 2012 Survey.

Supporting Team GBThe University has played a strong supporting role in therecent success of the British Sailing Team, preparing sailorsfor the physical challenges of competition.

The British Sailing Team has topped thesailing medals table in three out of four of the last Olympics Games, and with thecontinuing support provided by us, they arewidely tipped to repeat this success in Rio2016. All of the squad come to our BishopOtter Campus for regular fitnessassessments and general sport sciencesupport as part of their programme, takingadvantage of our world-class facilities.

As an Official Supplier to the British SailingTeam, we also provide physiology servicesto the future gold medallists who arecurrently part of the pathways squads,made up of junior, youth and Olympicdevelopment and transitional sailors.

A postgraduate student is employed as partof the Sports Science and Medicine team at the Royal Yachting Association to deliverand develop sports science support to thefuture of British competitive sailing. Thestudent is also working towards a PhD byinvestigating the training loads associatedwith Olympic class sailing in a programme,supervised by our academics.

The official partnership will see ussupporting sailors preparing for the 2016Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, which willmark 20 years since the relationshipbetween the University and the BritishSailing Team produced its first Olympicsuccess.

Sport and Exercise PsychologyHow we think and feel has a major impacton how we perform as athletes. SportPsychologists at SPRU will work with you toidentify how you can change what you thinkand feel to develop a winning mindset thatwill impact positively on your performance.We offer group sessions to clubs, teams andorganisations, and support on an individualbasis. In each instance, we assess what youneed (as an individual or group), and designand deliver bespoke packages of supportthat dovetail with other elements of yourtraining programme. Sport Psychologists atSPRU are highly experienced at deliveringsupport to elite and sub-elite athletes, andare accredited by the British Association ofSport and Exercise Sciences and/or holdChartered status with the BritishPsychological Society.

Sports BiomechanicsSports Biomechanics sits in an area that canaid athletes, teams and coaches inperformance enhancement, and injuryprevention. We mainly deal with techniqueanalysis, adaptation, assessment, andrehabilitation. We also have some roots inthe fields of ergonomics and engineering,and have been involved with the design andcollection of empirical data for new designsof sports equipment. Our consultancies areperformed in the biomechanics laboratoryhere at SPRU.

Exercise PhysiologyPhysical activity is based upon the success ofan individual to meet one key challenge, thatis, the ability to match energy demand withenergy supply. Energy systems within thehuman body are the same. However, theability to increase the rate or capacity ofsuch systems through training distinguishesbetween recreation and elite performers.We offer testing procedures that provide aninsight into the limitations of such systems,forming the basis for future training. Forthose individuals competing in extremeenvironments, such as hot / cold or ataltitude, an understanding of the specificphysiological challenge is required and thedevelopment of a strategy to overcomesuch conditions. Exercise physiologists atSPRU are highly experienced at deliveringsport science support across a range ofactivities and providing support to thoseindividuals competing in hostileenvironments around the globe.
