EHR411 Fundamentals of Exercise Physiology (8)
Abstract|
The aim of this subject is to support student learning of 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 during the Residential School. |

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- be able to demonstrate knowledge of the metabolic, muscular, hormonal and cardiorespiratory responses to exercise and adaptations to training;
- be able to list the physiological changes and adaptations during exercise in different environmental conditions;
- be able to diagrammatical link and present the multiple energy systems of skeletal muscle;
- be able to demonstrate and explain the application of the various techniques used in exercise physiology research and physical fitness testing;
- be able to detail the various physiological changes and limitations associated with ageing;
- be able to explain the differences in physiological capacities and training adaptations between males and females.

Residential School| This subject contains a compulsory 1 day residential school.
Distance education students are required to attend a Residential School scheduled during the mid-Session Residential School period to access laboratory facilities. This Residential School will run consecutively with Schools for the subjects EHR412, EHR414, EHR420 and EHR423.
Each distance education student will be required for three (3) days, which will include laboratory classes on each day for each student.
