Aims
The aim of this module is for individuals to develop an understanding of the physiological developments, principles and energy systems required in relation to practical performance to support physical education. Individuals will also develop an awareness of the different stages of physical development through infancy, childhood, and adolescence. An understanding of theoretical knowledge and application will support the ability of individuals to devise and deliver appropriate practical sessions.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate knowledge of exercise and physiology principles that support practical learning experiences and development.
2.
Understand the relationship between physiology and physical performance during infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
3.
Deliver practical learning activities that include exercise physiology principles and development, relevant to age and the physical education curriculum.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:An introduction of exercise physiology including energy systems to support the development of learning throughout physical activity and physical education.
An introduction to motor development and physiological concepts during infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
An introduction to the physiological response to exercise
An introduction to the physiology of health and disease.
Practical sessions relevant to age and the physical education curriculum.
Additional Information:The module will provide students with a strong theoretical foundation in physiology related to physical activity and health. Students will gain an understanding of basic scientific and physiological concepts through guided learning in lectures. Students will have the opportunity to explore how general physiological knowledge can be applied to specific practical scenarios relevant to physical education lesson planning, delivery and assessment. Students will explore how parameters of physiological function such as aerobic fitness, strength and power can be developed for age-appropriate cohorts. Students will gain understanding and awareness of the safety considerations for developing and delivering physical education lessons that reflect a desired physiological outcome. In addition to theoretical understanding, students will have the opportunity to learn practical skills related to physiological testing.
