Education

2012 2016, BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Science 2:1 T he

U niversity of Stirling

Modules have covered all of the major factors underpinning sports performance including the

application of physiology, sports psychology, injury rehabilitation and sports nut r i tion. Also

covered was a range of human and animal anatomy as well as cell biology which has provided a

v ivid understanding of whole-body and cellular processes.

The course also covered every day health and fitness at home and at work. This also included the

i mplications of a lack of regular physical activity for both the individual and society as a whole

and how best to get the population meeting exercise targets.

4th year dissertation focussed on whether a carbohydrate mouth r inse could improve the sprinting

and endurance performance in young male and female cyclists. This project was planned and

completed throughout the year with a full research paper wri t ten to analyse and display the

results. The results from this project indicated that the mouth r inse may have had a positive

effect on maximum power output.

Personal skills developed while at university were: working as part of a team, time management,

communication skills and computer skills including data and statistic handling and analysis,

l aboratory skills and leisure management.
