Examines aspects of general physiology important during exercise and introduces students to exercise physiology. It covers both theoretical knowledge and the development of basic skills in exercise testing. The physiological responses to a bout of exercise are examined first, followed by principles of exercise training, and an examination of adaptations to exercise training.
| Objectives | On successful completion of the course, students will be able to demonstrate: 1. An understanding of the physiological systems necessary for exercise 2. An understanding of the physiological responses to a bout of physical activity 3. An understanding of the principles of exercise training and the different types of exercise training programs 4. An understanding of the physiological adaptations to regular exercise training 5. An understanding of the need for specific types and levels of fitness for different sports 6. An understanding of the role of physical activity in the maintenance of health and physical fitness 7. Skills in conducting basic exercise tests |
