On completion of this module students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of human physiology in relation to exercise
2. Measure and interpret a range of physiological parameters relating to exercise, sport and health.
3. Relate the basics of exercise physiology to different exercising populations, modes of exercise and exercise environments
4. Apply exercise physiology theory, through reflective writing, relating it to their own experiential exercise learning and the module's pre exercise testing workshops.
5. Engage appropriately with research relevant to above learning outcomes.
A systems approach to the the responses of the metabolic, cardiovascular, rep0iratory, neurological, hormonal, thermoregulatory and muscular systems to exercise. Practical application of theory through measuring some key physiological parameters related to exercise, sport and health.

• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Peer review activities
• Self-assessment activities
Written assignment is a piece of reflective writing, facilitating students to self-monitor their learning - opportunity to discuss same provided during workshops . Interactive Workshops act as a opportunity for students to apply theory with peer feedback, ask questions and receive verbal in class tutor feedback. Short MCQ online quiz trial will be conducted in advance of graded MCQ's (30% x 2). Students can give & will receive feedback on trial.
