| Summary | For both research and practical application a strong background in physiology is a necessity. This module will explore various areas of the physiology of strength & conditioning, which have primary impact upon performance. These areas include the in depth study of bioenergetics (and metabolism), the neuromuscular, cardiovascular, endocrine and immune system and training adaptations.
Learning outcomes will be achieved by methods including lectures, demonstrations, workshops and directed reading. |

Learning Outcomes
At the completion of the module students will be able to
1. Critically appraise the concepts of 'specificity of exercise' and 'specificity of training'
2. Critically evaluate the general and specific physiological adaptations to different training routines in terms of metabolic, neuromuscular, immunological, cardiorespiratory and endocrinological aspects
