Module Overview

Exercise Physiology

Module Aims: • To provide the learner with a basic understanding of the relationship between physiology and exercise in normal and adverse environments • To provide the student with a basic understanding of how exercise effects the different physiological systems • To allow the delivery of appropriate aerobic and anaerobic testing methods. • To ensure the learner can interpret aerobic and anaerobic testing results. • To instil an acute awareness of the effects of different substances on different physiological systems.
