Aims
The basic aims of this module are to extend and deepen the students' knowledge and understanding related to the acute and chronic physiological responses to exercise. The module will focus will be on young and older healthy individuals and those at greater risk of cardiovascular disease . This physiological knowledge will link/underpin later content related to "patho-physiology " and "exercise programming". The module will also develop knowledge of how advancements in assessment tools and research illuminate understanding of exercise physiology.
Learning Outcomes
1.
1 Critically evaluate the impact of acute exercise and chronic exercise upon physiological systems.
2.
2 Critically discuss how new developments in assessment tools and research technology have improved our understanding of the physiological response to acute and chronic exercise.
Module Content

Human metabolism: acute and chronic exercise
Human metabolism: assessment tools
Module Overview:
This module aims to extend and deepen knowledge and understanding related to the acute and chronic physiological responses to exercise. This will focus on cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic responses to exercise that will link/underpin later content related to ‘patho-physiology in these systems’ and ‘exercise prescription’. It also develops knowledge of how advancements in technology and assessment illuminate our understanding of advanced exercise physiology.

Additional Information:This module provides the opportunity to apply current theoretical and practical approaches in advanced exercise physiology. Current issues will be explored through a combination of contact lectures, workshops, seminars and private study journal reading. Guest speakers will be invited to contribute to a theory and practice workshops to supplement the depth and currency of the modular content.
