Assessment |
|
1. Demonstrate detail knowledge of the adjustment, regulation and integration of physiological systems during exercise.
2. Examine the physiological bases to physiological training techniques.
3. Evaluate sport and exercise activities to determine physiological demand and training need.
4. Demonstrate awareness of a range of advanced physiological assessment techniques.
5. Compile a written laboratory report demonstrating the critical analysis and interpretation of data.
This module will develop understanding in how 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' (maximal heart rate, recovery time and blood lactate accumulation in the horse; assessment of anaerobic power and maximal oxygen uptake in the human). By analysing different types of sport and exercise activities in humans and examining the range of equine athletic activities from endurance work through to sprint racing, students will be able to apply physiological principles to practical situations.
