Course overview
The course aims to introduce students to the theory underlying, and test procedures for evaluating, the physiological responses to exercise and how these impact on health and physical performance. The course builds on foundational information from human physiology courses to further students understanding of the physiological effects of exercise, together with relevant exercise and health assessments. Students will develop their understanding of the acute and chronic effects of exercise on a range of physiological systems and populations, in addition to developing their ability to conduct health and exercise assessments in a safe and effective manner. The course aligns with the programs intent to develop knowledgeable graduates that can design, implement and evaluate exercise and physical activity.
- Foundational Physiological Systems
- Acute Responses to Exercise
- Adaptations to Training
- Clinical Exercise Physiology
Course learning outcomes
- Describe the function of key physiological systems for exercise.
- Describe the integrated response of relevant physiological systems to acute exercise training in healthy children, adults, and the elderly.
- Describe the adaptations to chronic exercise training for healthy adults.
- Describe the physiology of common clinical health conditions to justify the provision and adjustment of exercise programs to support health and fitness for relevant populations.
- Conduct and analyse tests of health, fitness, and performance and compare results between time-points, individuals, and populations.
