Module Aims
This module aims to introduce the student to the function, regulation and integration of the main physiological systems during sport and exercise and to many of the key concepts encountered in exercise physiology. In addition this module aims to provide the student with further experience of laboratory exercise testing and core laboratory skills.
Content Summary
Students should be aware they may encounter ethical issues in learning and teaching while undertaking this module and should refer to the course handbook where appropriate.
Practical assessments of blood pressure, maximal aerobic and anaerobic capacity, anaerobic threshold.
Structural levels of organization, homeostasis and negative feedback.
Systems of energy delivery and utilization;
Pulmonary and cardiovascular systems at rest and during exercise.
Aerobic performance and training: submaximal and maximal oxygen consumption, economy and relative exercise intensity; lactate threshold.
Anaerobic performance and training; power output.
Aerobic and anaerobic/resistance physiological adaptations.
Selection, evaluation and justification of appropriate exercise tests.
