Throughout my 3 years at university, I've completed various modules which underpin the theory behind sport and exercise science; biomechanics, physiology and psychology. Additional modules I have also completed, include health based exercise testing & prescription, and physical activity, exercise & disease prevention. Within these modules I have learnt many practical skills such as; how to take blood pressure, blood samples, ECG's and conduct fitness tests. I have also learnt how to risk stratify and health assess patients. I have also recently finished conducting my own research in the laboratory, focusing on sports nutrition for my dissertation. This has helped me become more independent and competent within a laboratory setting and using complex equipment.
