There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added

Description of module content:

The module aims to introduce you to applied anatomy and physiology and enhance your knowledge and understanding of how the complex systems within the human body apply to sporting and exercise performance. Specifically, you will learn the structure, organisation and functions of the human body and its own self-regulating environment and systems. The structure and function of the main anatomical and physiological systems and their interaction will be covered in lectures, workshops and practical’s. You will also be introduced to the different testing methods to collect, interpret, and academically present acute physiological responses to exercise, in addition to presenting the key anatomical components responsible for a range of different sporting and exercise movements.

Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Define the key anatomical functions involved in a range of sporting activities

LO2: Demonstrate an understanding of the structure and function of the main physiological systems (musculoskeletal, respiratory and cardiovascular) and their interaction in the human body.

LO3: Acquire an understanding of the nervous and endocrine systems and their influence on the body functions.

LO4: Describe the body's acute physiological responses during a range of sporting and exercise activities.

Student Activity (Notional Equivalent Study Hours (NESH))
Mode of activity	Learning & Teaching Activity	NESH (Study Hours)	NESH Description
Face To Face	Practical classes and workshops	6	The 2-hr practical sessions will complement lectures and tutorials by growing your awareness of how to apply the theoretical knowledge within a practical setting (LO 1, 2, 3, 4). With help from the teaching team, you will be required to develop important practical skills by having to set up, conduct and analyse a range of field based tests (LO4). During the practical sessions you will have to work independently and within small groups, starting in week 6 and be alternate weeks until week 10.
Online	Guided independent study	161	You will be expected to use a range of interactive online materials and tools to help further enhance your understanding of applied anatomy and physiology. The online support material will include journal articles, links to conferences, media articles self-testing quiz activity and good quality visual materials which will encourage interactive discussions to enhance your learning experience.
Face To Face	Lecture	22	The 2-hr weekly lectures will introduce you to the theoretical background information on applied anatomy and physiology in order to help you gain a fundamental understanding of the structure, organisation and functions of the human body (LO 1, 2, 3).
Face To Face	Tutorial	11	The 1-hr weekly tutorials will be student-centred to provide you a chance to discuss the topics in small group settings. In addition, the tutorials will allow you to develop relevant academic skills by completing assessment related tasks and subsequently engaging a peer-to-peer feedback provision (LO 1, 2, 3, 4).

Assessment
Type of Assessment	Weighting %	LOs covered	Week due	Length in Hours/Words	Description
Practical Skills Assessment	50	1~2	Week 10	HOURS= 15 min	Video based practical examination (50%) 15-minute individual practical examination will be carried out to test students’ applied anatomical knowledge (LO 1, 2). This is an individual assessment.
Laboratory report	50	2~3~4	Week 12	, WORDS= 1500 words	A 1500-word laboratory report on acute physiological responses during sporting activities. The data for the laboratory report will be collected during practical sessions (LO 2, 3, 4). To be completed as an individual, pairs or small groups. Each person in the pair or small group will receive the same mark.
