Syllabus

This subject will cover the following topics:

• Introduction to the field of exercise physiology;
• Ergometry, energy, work and power;
• Overview of energy transfer and bioenergetics;
• Phosphagen system and ATP regeneration;
• Glycolytic-lactate system and ATP regeneration;
• Mitochondrial respiration and ATP regeneration;
• Neuromuscular function during and after exercise;
• Pulmonary function during and after exercise;
• Cardiovascular function during and after exercise;
• Maximal oxygen uptake and metabolic thresholds;
• Endocrine function during and after exercise;
• Exercise training adaptations for performance and health;

Residential School

This subject contains a 5-day Compulsory Residential School. Distance Education students are required to attend a five (5) day Residential School scheduled during the Residential School period.

Special Resources

Distance Education students are required to attend a Residential School scheduled during the Residential School period to access laboratory facilities. This will require students to arrange and finance their own travel and accommodation.
