Disgrifiad cryno

This module will provide students with small group tutorials that will enable them to develop key skills in academic writing, critical thinking, data handling and communication using equine exercise physiology as a specialism. It will enable students to describe the effects of exercise and training through a series of lectures, tutorials, practical's, workshops and e-learning. It will also investigate the design of appropriate fitness regimes with due regard for the adaptive responses required for different activities and introduce diseases and/or injuries that limit performance.

Nod

The module aims to introduce students to best academic practice and enhance their academic skill set. Through personal tutorials, formal lectures, e learning, practical classes and workshops, this module will enable students to develop these skills in relation to the effects of exercise and training in equine physiology.

Cynnwys

The module will cover key skills in academic practice such as critical thinking, academic writing and presentation as well as team work using a selection of equine athletes, the principles of training and the effects of exercise, training and fatigue on specific body systems as well as causes of poor performance as a specialism.
Small group tutorials will continue across the two semesters as well as formal lectures and e learning resources. A variety of practical exercises may be included, for example, determination of the fitness of different horses using recovery heart rates, and/or dissection of selected organs to evaluate anatomy and physiology from an exercise perspective.
