Learning Outcome Description |
LO1 |
Outline acute and chronic adaptations to various training modes for developing optimal performance and the appropriate application of these to endurance training and team/individual athletes etc. |
LO2 |
Explain the effects of environmental conditions (e.g. altitude, heat, cold, hyperbaric) on human physiology and, in particular, the athlete |
LO3 |
Discuss the problems associated with exercise performance in varying environmental conditions (e.g. altitude, heat, cold, hyperbaric) and formulate recommendations for optimal athletic performance in these conditions |
LO4 |
Critique the role of biological rhythms and sleep in the preparation of athletes for competition, and, discuss hormonal
regulation of physiological processes regarding adaptation to exercise/conditions and overtraining syndrome. |
LO5 |
Demonstrate laboratory, data handling, data interpretation and writing skills through the completion of a number of laboratory practical experiments. |

|
Neuromuscular bases for performance
Neuromuscular fatigue, factors affecting strength, power and speed performance.
|
Environmental Physiology and Performance
Altitude, Heat, Cold, Air Pollution
Preparing the athlete for performance in the heat/cold, altitude training, and the effects of air pollution on performance
|
Biological rhythms and performance
Circadian rhythm, sleep, recovery, managing the athlete through travel
|
Physiology of Training: Effects of Aerobic and Anaerobic Training
Training for Endurance, Training for Anaerobic Events and Team Sports, Training for Strength Power and Speed, Cell signalling and hormonal control of substrate, acute and chronic adaptations to aerobic and anaerobic training
|
Practical
Determination of lactate threshold, heart rate and oxygen uptake responses to incremental exercise testing, the acute effects of training using lactate threshold training zones, comparison of anaerobic capacity and power, cardiovascular and metabolic responses during maximal anaerobic speed training, neuromuscular fatigue and adaptations to HIIT. Effects of maximal exertion on force and power
