ECTS credit value: 10
Module code: SES07105
Module leader: Tom Johnston
School School of Applied Sciences
Subject area group: Sport Exercise and Health Science
Prerequisites

There is no prerequisite for this module
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:

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.
