Aims
The module aims to provide students with the critical thinking skills necessary to evaluate and understand the appropriate application of key cardiovascular measurement techniques and to equip students with the applied knowledge necessary to interpret data collected via these techniques. In addition, the module aims to promote critical awareness of the limitations to human health and performance under various physiological stressors, and how these limitations can be overcome with appropriate adaptation strategies and interventions.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Evaluate cardiovascular data and recognise when there are abnormalities present.
2.
Discuss the validity, reliability and utility of cardiovascular measurement techniques.
3.
Critically analyse the limitations to performance and health, and form coping strategies when individuals and athletes are confronted with common physiological, behavioural and environmental stressors
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Cardiac electrophysiology and measurement using ECG
Assessment of cardiac structure and function
Assessment of vascular structure and function
Exercise in the heat/cold/altitude: Performance, adaptation and interventions
Behavioural thermoregulation
Circadian adaptations and interventions: Trans-meridian travel
Hormones and exercise

Additional Information:This module is designed to critically examine key cardiovascular measurement techniques, and to understand their application in healthy and athletic populations, as well as in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease. tasks. The module also aims to develop critical awareness of the limitations to health and performance under various modifiable and non-modifiable stressors, and will examine how these limitations can be ameliorated with appropriate adaptation strategies and exercise interventions. This will be evaluated by the completion of the relevant assessment tasks. On going feedback will be provided throughout the module to support completion of assessments.
