Aims

This topic aims to provide students with an opportunity to:

  • Investigate the exercise physiology concepts, applications and issues related to physical activity and health related fitness
  • Investigate basic human anatomy and physiology
  • Explore the human body's ability to perform physical work and the body's ability to improve its physiological capabilities
  • Use exercise physiology equipment to develop skills in measurement and evaluation

Learning outcomes

On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:
1.
Describe the key physiological processes that occur during human movement
2.
Explain how the physiological processes that occur during exercise training that result in improved physiological capabilities of the human body
3.
Use exercise physiology equipment to assess an individual's level of health-related fitness and use that information to prescribe a safe and effective exercise program
