MSC C60212 Sport and Exercise Science,
MSC C60224 Sport and Exercise Science
Learners will consolidate understanding of physiological regulation and adaptation to exercise and develop critical understanding of research and evidence.
The aim of this module is:
- To help students provide in-depth understanding of exercise physiology; develop critical thinking and improve scientific reporting by writing an SPF.
By the end of this module, students will be expected to be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of physiological regulation.
- Explain the physiological factors that limit exercise performance.
- Describe acute changes in the cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal and endocrine systems in response to exercise.
- Describe chronic changes in the cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal and endocrine systems in response to exercise training.
- Critically evaluate research in order to develop and present coherent evidence-based arguments in written form.
No additional information available.
This Module will be delivered via:
- Lectures, Tutorials & Practicals.

Exam format definitions
- Remote, open book: Your exam will take place remotely via an online learning platform. You may refer to any physical or electronic materials during the exam.
- In-person, open book: Your exam will take place on campus under invigilation. You may refer to any physical materials such as paper study notes or a textbook during the exam. Electronic devices may not be used in the exam.
- In-person, open book (restricted): The exam will take place on campus under invigilation. You may refer only to specific physical materials such as a named textbook during the exam. Permitted materials will be specified by your department. Electronic devices may not be used in the exam.
- In-person, closed book: The exam will take place on campus under invigilation. You may not refer to any physical materials or electronic devices during the exam. There may be times when a paper dictionary,
for example, may be permitted in an otherwise closed book exam. Any exceptions will be specified by your department.
Your department will provide further guidance before your exams.

of variations to the content and method of delivery or assessment of modules and other services, to discontinue modules and other services and to merge or combine modules.
The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will also keep students informed appropriately by updating our programme specifications and module directory.
