In this module we will focus on the acute and chronic adaptations to exercise and training of the cardiovascular, pulmonary and muscular systems and consider how each system contributes to limitations of human performance. We will explore how the nervous and endocrine systems integrate the response to exercise and training. We will also explore differences in response and adaptation between adult and paediatric participants in exercise.
The aim of exercise physiology is to understand the way in which the body's systems respond and adapt to exercise and training.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Describe the structure and function of the cardiovascular, pulmonary , muscular and endocrine systems
2. Discuss the responses of the cardiovascular, pulmonary and muscular systems to an acute exercise bout
3. Evaluate the roles of the cardiovascular, pulmonary and muscular systems in the limitation of human exercise performance
4. Discuss the responses of the cardiovascular, pulmonary and muscular systems to an exercise training programme
5. Explain how the nervous and endocrine systems co-ordinate the acute and chronic responses to exercise
6. Show competence in collection, collation and analysis of data from various physiological practicals.
