| Description:
| Aims: This unit aims to: * Allow students to develop an understanding and practical application of a variety of components of the biological hierarchy and their functions related to physical activity. * Ensure that key skills are embedded and identified, through linking theoretical concepts to context within their sports performance. * Ensure students continually reflect on their own personal learning and development. Learning Outcomes: At the end of this unit students will be able to: * Review the impacts and benefits of exercise on the body through an integrated systems approach * Explain the role of specific organs within the cardiovascular and respiratory system, Neuromuscular and skeletal system. * Explain the differences between the energy systems. * Explain the usefulness of testing within an exercise and sports physiology domain. Skills: Communication Reading Analysis Interpretation Application Content: * Understand the various body systems including; skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular / respiratory, and energy. * Identify benefits of exercise including acute and chronic effects on skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular / respiratory, and energy. * Understand the use of physiology testing within exercise and sports physiology. * Understand the functioning of the body through an integrated systems approach. |
