General Information

Overview

This unit examines responses and adaptations of various physiological body systems to exercise. Specifically, you will learn the physiological mechanisms underpinning acute and chronic changes in the metabolic, pulmonary, cardiovascular, endocrine, and neuromuscular systems as a response to exercise. Furthermore, you will learn how physiological function relating to exercise changes across the lifespan and in different environments. You will also develop practical skills in conducting and interpreting laboratory and field tests assessing physiological function, fitness, and performance.

Feedback from Informal student feedback and Unit Teaching Evaluation feedback

Feedback

It would be useful to discuss the key themes from module content and apply it to discipline areas.

Recommendation

It is recommended that lectures are pre-recorded for each module where possible and sessions set to allow for discussion and activities that promote higher-order thinking and application to exercise science and education disciplines.

Feedback from Informal student feedback and Unit Teaching Evaluation feedback

Feedback

The content was overwhelming at times due to the amount delivered in some module topics.

Recommendation

It is recommended that lengthy module topics be split or re-structured to ensure content are delivered in more consistent, digestible formats.
