The material covered, in lectures, seminars and practical classes will provide a foundation for more advanced study
of Exercise Physiology.
This module will enable students to complete the Focus Awards Certificate in Fitness Instruction (GYM) and is at level 2 on the Qualifications and Credit Framework. This module is a combined module taught to both the Sports Performance and Coaching and Sports Therapy courses.
The aims of this module are:
- To provide knowledge on the fundamental concepts of human anatomy and physiology which underpin the biological sciences
- To provide a sound knowledge of the mechanisms associated with the control and regulation of the major systems of the body
By the end of this module, students will be expected to be able to:
- Demonstrate basic anatomical knowledge of the human being with particular detail in the musculoskeletal, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems.
- Demonstrate understanding of systems physiology with particular detail in muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems.
- Develop key skills related to ICT, numeracy, problem solving, working with others and self-directed learning.
- Develop learner’s knowledge of anatomy and physiology and how it relates to exercise and fitness.
- Develop learner's ability to plan and deliver safe and effective gym sessions.
- Provide learners with the knowledge to develop good customer service and the personal qualities required by the exercise and fitness industry.
- Provide learners with an awareness of health and safety in an exercise and fitness environment.
- Provide learners with the opportunity to progress to further qualifications in the exercise and fitness industry.
No additional information available.
This module will be delivered via:
- Lectures: You will be taught through a mixture of lectures and interactive seminars, online virtual learning and self-directed study.
- Lectures and seminars will introduce core material, whilst self-directed study will reinforce this information.
You will be encouraged to consolidate and extend lecture material from recommended textbooks.
Moodle will be used for:
- A repository of module information
- A repository of lecture recordings
- To provide links to internal and external learning resources
- To facilitate assessment and learning activities
- To encourage learner autonomy
- To facilitate feedback information on assessment for learning and other activities
Independent study will include online practical sessions and MCQ tests delivered via Moodle.
The instant feedback provided will allow students to identify and address strengths and weaknesses in your knowledge.
