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 different clinical conditions. This physiological knowledge will link/underpin later content related to "pathophysiology " and "exercise programming". 

Learning Outcomes

1.
Critically evaluate the impact of acute exercise upon physiological systems.
  • Problem solving
2.
Critically evaluate the impact of chronic exercise upon physiological systems.
  • Problem solving

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
The cardiovascular system: acute and chronic exercise

The respiratory system: acute and chronic exercise

Human metabolism: acute and chronic exercise 
Module Overview:
This module aims to extend and deepen knowledge and understanding related to the acute and chronic physiological responses to exercise. This will primarily focus on cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic responses to exercise that will link/underpin later content related to ‘pathophysiology in these systems’ and ‘exercise programming’. 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.
