Module Description: The aim of this module is to develop students’ scientific knowledge and understanding of bodily systems responses to exercise and sports performance. Students will be introduced to a broad range of topics in the area of applied anatomy and sports physiology, giving them a framework within which to understand how sportspeople respond and adapt to different types of training.
 
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:
# Learning Outcome Description
LO1 Describe the cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic adaptations to endurance training
LO2 Distinguish between the possible causes of fatigue during exercise of different intensity and duration and describe the causes and impact of overtraining
LO3 Display a basic level of competency with regard to exercise demonstration and exercise instruction in (i) circuit training; (ii) resistance training and (iii) core stability and warm up/cool down

Reassessment Requirement
Repeat examination
Reassessment of this module will consist of a repeat examination. It is possible that there will also be a requirement to be reassessed in a coursework element.
Reassessment Description
If a student fails module they will need to resit the theory paper. If they have also failed the practical/skills assessment this will need to be re-done also.
