Description
This subject introduces students to the physiological functions of human cells and organ systems and describes energy metabolism and hormonal regulation. Students will develop foundational knowledge in human physiology and apply this knowledge to exercise science contexts through forums, tutorials, and laboratory experiences.
Subject details
Learning outcomes
- Explain the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and endocrine systems in relation to physical activity and exercise performance.
- Compare the different systems the body uses to generate energy, including how these systems are regulated during and after exercise of varying intensities and durations.
- Explain the acute responses and chronic adaptations of physiological systems to varied exercise modes, intensities, and volumes.
- Analyse physiological test data collected in the laboratory to produce evidence-based interpretations of cardiorespiratory and metabolic function.
- Evaluate the integrated (multi-system) physiological responses to exercise to synthesise systems-level understanding of human performance.
