Fitness, Performance And Survival

Description

this course further develops and integrates core concepts of physiology, sport science and biomedical science and expands foundations for more advanced study of these topics; the course integrates various subjects of biomedical science such as Physiology, Nutrition, Biochemistry or Sport Sciences to understand responses and adaptations to exercise and physical challenges; the course uses a streamlined modular system to deliver and assess the course content and fortnightly online assessments ensure effective learning and are highly commended by students; each subject or practical class is delivered by specialized members of staff to ensure state-of-the-art content and delivery This course will briefly explain physiological functions and fundamentals of sport and exercise physiology in the context of performance, fitness and survival. Measurement of performance and how physiological and metabolic adaptations alter performance, health and survival will be examined. The effects of environmental conditions, nutrition, health, gender and age will all be considered. Basics of human conditioning will also be covered, with an emphasis on the physiological differences between basic conditioning principles in relation to training outcomes and their physiological backgrounds. The course is a science course covering basic biology, biochemistry, physiology and biomedical science related to Sport and Exercise Science. Some fundamental knowledge and interest in these subject areas is recommended.
