ECTS credit value: 10
Module code: SES10120
Module leader: Frankie Brown
School School of Applied Sciences
Subject area group: Sport Exercise and Health Science
Prerequisites

Background of human biology and physiology
Data analysis and interpretation within prior modules
Description of module content:

Introduction of advanced physiological concepts with regards to cellular and molecular exercise physiology, as well as intracellular signalling induced by exercise, diet and disease, and how this physically symptomizes with the individual; how cell signalling and gene expression and protein production drive adaptation to exercise.
Cellular and molecular adaptations to be introduced and investigated include: angiogenesis, vascular adaptations, mitochondrial biogenesis, skeletal muscle hypertrophy and regeneration and immune cell adaptations.
Learning Outcomes for module:

LO1: Elucidate the role of gene expression and translation for physiological adaptation (with specific reference to exercise/inactivity)
LO2: Critically assess the role of cellular signalling pathways in exercise and health/disease
LO3: Compare and contrast the efficacy of different modes of exercise on manipulating cell signalling, including angiogenesis, mitochondria biogenesis and skeletal muscle hypertrophy
LO4: Critically appraise the literature relating to immune cell changes with exercise with impact on immune health
LO5: Analyse physiologically relevant data and anticipate explanatory underpinning physiology
