Module code: SES07700
Module leader: Tom Johnston
School School of Applied Sciences
Subject area group: Sport Exercise and Health Science
Prerequisites

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 activityLearning & Teaching ActivityNESH (Study Hours)NESH Description
Face To Face Lecture 20 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 Practical classes and workshops 14 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 166 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.
