Aims of Module | |||
---|---|---|---|
This module aims to develop a critical understanding of the physiological systems underpinning exercise and health and increase knowledge of the body's response to exercise, with understanding of how these responses influence both health and wellbeing. |
Learning Outcomes for Module | |
---|---|
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
1 | Discuss the functions of physiological systems within the human body and the mechanisms of adaptation. |
2 | Critically evaluate the validity and utility of selected methods used to prescribe and regulate exercise intensity. |
3 | Critically discuss the physiological adaptations that occur with exercise training in the human body. |
4 | Critically discuss the mechanism through which physiological adaptations through exercise influence health and wellbeing. |
