This course explores how the human body responds to acute and chronic physiological demands of sports and exercise.

 

The module will cover energy systems, cardiovascular and respiratory regulation, skeletal muscle physiology and aspects of environmental effects on sports and exercise performance. An integrative approach is adopted to link between basic theories and applied concepts in real life situations. A key focus will be on how research and the underlying exercise physiology principles are relevant to the practitioner. Common assessment techniques with practical applications in sports and exercise physiology will be discussed.

 

Students will perform laboratory work using state-of-the-art equipment, alongside lectures and tutorials. A mix of face-to-face interactions, online learning and group work is implemented in this module. It is intended that students be guided to holistically integrate the knowledge presented throughout the module.
