Overview
This module develops on the knowledge gained at level 4 by exploring the how the integrative physiological systems respond to the challenge of acute and chronic exercise. Particular focus will be on the acute and chronic cardiorespiratory adjustments to exercise, how to assess these responses and how to effectively use and present the data obtained. Tasks involve skill acquisition (of laboratory techniques), data collection and, analysis and presentation, whilst working independently and in small groups. Numerous formative assessments, including; student-produced standard operating procedures, Moodle quizzes and 'what a good one looks like' tasks, will be made available for the regular self-assessment of learning. The summative tasks follow a guided-inquiry approach where an independent approach to learning will be fostered.
This module will continue to foster a synoptic (cross-module) approach to student learning. To achieve this, data obtained in this module will be used in level 5 Research Methods to provide context for statistical analysis. In addition, content of this module will be referred to and used in level 5 Applied Sport and Exercise Science. This course acts as a pre-requisite for third year, physiology-based modules, and will provide a strong base for level 6 dissertation pathways.
