| Course description | This course will accommodate two perspectives, knowledge and understanding of which underpins efficient functioning of the human body at both rest and exercise. In this context consideration will be given to theoretical processes underlying the learning of physical skills, factors affecting skill learning and the application of key principles to the learning environment. This will be complemented by an overview of the main physiological systems responsible for efficient and effective human movement. Application will be made to the spectrum of physical activity. |
