Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Demonstrate an understanding of how selected physiological, psychological and biomechanical factors influence a full understanding of human movement and physical activity.
Demonstrate an understanding of behaviour change in the health setting.
Critically evaluate and synthesise information from across the physiological, psychological and biomechanical disciplines to better understand the relationship between exercise and health in humans.
Demonstrate employment relevant, transferable and professional skills.
Aims
The module forms part of the core structure of the MSc in Exercise and Health Research. While students will specialise in specific sub-disciplines of the exercise and health sciences, researchers will invariably need to address/take account of, the individual in the whole. This is reflected in government strategy and funding body remit to extend traditional research areas to take into account the human in the real world context. This module therefore equips students with an understanding of key issues which need to be taken into account from a physiological, psychological and/or biomechanical perspective when examining the relationship between exercise and health in humans.
