EHR202 Human Exercise Physiology (8)
Abstract
The aim of this subject is to understand the principles by which exercise and human movement affect human physiology and the influence that human physiology has on exercise and movement capacity. Students will engage in practical work involving measuring and evaluating physiological capacities.
This subject includes a compulsory residential school if the subject is undertaken by Distance Education. |
