At a glance:
This program invites students to help train local athletes and sports teams, many of whom have other underlying health conditions. As part of this program, students will get the opportunity to carry out full health assessments and evaluations for teams and individuals competing in Athletics, Sepak Takraw, Cycling, Tennis, Baseball, Football, Wrestling, Boxing, Weightlifting, Gymnastics, Shooting, Judo, Taekwondo, Karate, Swimming, Volleyball and Wushu. They will also conduct a performance assessment and coaching sessions for the teams.
Communities and Project Impact:
This project will enable students to share their knowledge and expertise with sport players and athletes who may not otherwise receive specially tailored sports, exercise and health plans to improve their performance. Students will be mentored by local staff during each placement, to ensure that the host and students get the most out of the placement.
The skills and knowledge exchange between the visiting students and local staff also promotes informal and formal learning and training opportunities locally, which improves internal best practice and the long term success of the therapies provided.
