This module provides students with an opportunity to develop their understanding of exercise physiology by applying various principles and knowledge of exercise physiology to field rather than laboratory settings. Students will gain experience in conducting accurate assessments of physical fitness and physiological response, both as a subject and as a practitioner, using equipment and skills that are used in a range of contemporary occupational settings.Students will complete 22 hours of lectures and 18 hours of practicals (field based). The assessed coursework encourages students to engage with broad aspects of data collection and interpretation, while developing relevant practical skills in sport and exercise physiology. Students will be taught standard assessment techniques in exercise and sport physiology and will also be introduced to recent technological advances in sport and exercise physiology.
