| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| This module aims to provide students with knowledge and understanding of the human body's physiological responses to a variety of exercise types. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Explain the acute responses of the human body to exercise. |
| 2 | Explain the chronic responses of the human body to exercise. |
| 3 | Outline the body's main energy systems and their relative contribution to exercise. |
| 4 | Demonstrate the necessary professionalism through attendance at learning opportunities required for safe practice. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Acute physiological responses to exercise and sport focusing on cardiorespiratory variables (e.g. heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, redistribution of blood, extraction of oxygen, blood pressure, respiratory frequency, tidal volume, pulmonary ventilation), hormone production, release and response (metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, stress response) mechanisms and impact of fatigue and thermoregulation. The body's main energy systems and their relative contribution to exercise (in relation to intensity and duration). The chronic adaptations of the human body to exercise, including those of the cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular systems. The influence that age and gender have on the above. |
