Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Discuss the function, regulation and interaction of physiological systems relating to exercise.
02. Evaluate and describe the individual and integrated physiological responses and adaptations to acute and chronic exercise.
03. Apply knowledge of the physiological responses to acute exercise and the adaptations to chronic exercise to inform exercise programming.
04. Analyse and interpret physiological data obtained during acute exercise, and compare such data between time points, individuals and populations.
05. Safely monitor and evaluate physiological responses at rest and during exercise.
