The examination and application of the major concepts of human performance psychology in, and beyond, the professional, collegiate, amateur and youth sport athletic spaces to allied health practitioner (PT, OT, OR, PA, RN), athletic and personal training, and tactical athlete (i.e., military, law enforcement, and firefighting) environments. An essential component of the class will be the reliance on reading and reviewing both classic articles and the recent evidence-based research in which applied strategies and techniques are based. Students will be taught to critically analyze the research by 1) understanding the purpose of the research, 2) identifying the experimental design and how it contrasts the difference between experimental and control conditions, 3) understanding the outcome of the research, and 4) understanding how the outcome of the research may be applicable to the human performance and allied health environments.
