Learning outcomes
On completion of this module, students should be able to...
1. Demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the adjustment, regulation and integration of physiological systems during exercise
2. Discuss how enviromental conditions affect these responses
3. Examine the physiological bases to physical training techniques
4. Evaluate sport & exercise activitites to determine physiological demand and training need
5. Demonstrate practical competence in a range of advanced physiological assessment techniques
Brief description
This module is concerned with how the physiological systems of the body respond during a bout of exercise and how the
performance of the body can be changed by regular physical training. Laboratory work will include the investigation of acute
responses to exercise and the development of skills in 'fitness testing' (e.g. protocols for the assessment of anerobic power and maximal oxygen uptake). By analyzing different types of sport and exercise activities students will be able to apply physiological principles to practical situations ranging from exercising for health to physical training fo enhanced athletic
performance.

By analyzing different types of sport and exercise activities students will be able to apply physiological principles to practical situations ranging from exercising for health to physical training for enhacement athletic performance.
1. The acute effects of exercise: Responses to exercise of differing intensities and durations taken from a consideration of how physiological systems attempt to maintain homeostasis, including consideration of how these responses differ under differing environmental conditions of heat, cold, humidity and altitude
2. The chronic effects of exercise: the physiological basis to training for strength, power and endurance
3. The analysis of sport and exercise "events" to determine physiological demand and training needs
4. The development of advanced techniques of fitness assessment
