Overview

In this module, physiological mechanisms, responses and their assessments will be taught and demonstrated to enhance understanding of the topic. Moreover, the students will be introduced to the acute physiological responses to exercise and physiological assessment techniques during practicals for better understanding of human physiology and as a foundation for future modules. Lectures will contain essential physiological mechanisms and systems for understanding the human physiology.

Assessment Strategy

-threshold -Assignments (two MCQs and six practical assignments) will be performed/submitted on Blackboard; to pass the module, assignments need to achieve at least 40% of the mark in a combination of MCQ, plus practical reports which need to be submitted at least with visible successful data collection.

-excellent -To pass the module assignments with A, about 74% in total mark needs to be achieved in a combination of MCQs and with practical reports showing visible clear successful data collection, graphs and interpretation of experiments

-another level-To pass the module assignments with category C, the assignments on Blackboard have been passed with 52% of the total mark in combination of MCQ and practical reports. Practical reports contain data collection and simple interpretation.
