Description

The module analyses the key physiological and metabolic adptations in response to acute and chronic exercise. Students will evaluate the critical changes that occur to the various physiological systems at rest and during single and repeated bouts of exercise training. By adopting an integrated approach, students will implement and evaluate different measurement techniques used to assess the physiological and metabolic responses to exercise training.The module will also evaluate and integrate the various physiological systems and mechanisms that account for training adaptations to various exercise modes, populations and sporting disciplines as well as different environments.
