| Course description | An understanding of the relevant physiological knowledge underpinning specific sports and physical activity will inform the application of particular preparation strategies. This is of particular importance in relation to the design, prescription and implementation of appropriate exercise and training. Acquiring specific physiological knowledge and understanding will enhance the planning and responsible provision of appropriate exercise and training for a range of client groups. The development of laboratory assessment procedures contribute directly to a more effective understanding of the spectrum of physical activity. Consequently, practical familiarity with a range if investigative techniques and equipment is an essential part of the teaching strategy. A continual series of laboratory workshops provides for this. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Critically analyse the integration of physiological systems that underpin particular types of physical training;
Develop an increased appreciation and understanding of how these physiological systems respond to regular involvement in exercise in order to maximise the effect of training;
Identify, investigate and apply assessment of phsyiological parameters associated with exercise and training;
Identify, explain and critically appraise the physical demands of particular sports
