Module Aims
To consider the relationship between exercise and selected areas of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system.
To develop an understanding of selected measurements in cardiovascular physiology and competency in the performance of these measurements.
Content Summary
Anatomy of the heart and cardiac muscle.
The electrical implications of contraction, the electrical axis and the rhythm of the heart.
The ECG at rest and in response to exercise.
Cardiac contraction and the molecular interactions associated with contraction.
Cardiovascular dynamics and loop volume pressure curves.
Central and peripheral haemodynamic function at rest and in response to exercise.
Cerebrovascular haemodynamic function at rest and in response to exercise.
Acute and chronic adaptations of regular exercise training.
Exercise for cardiac rehabilitation.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CEPT) for health and disease.
