Amcanion cyffredinol

The human body is a fascinating biological machine. How this machine is functioning has puzzled scientists for centuries. In many career paths that are related to sport, health, and medicine, an intricate knowledge of Physiology is essential to be a professional. This module will introduce you in the principles of human physiology. Additionally, the module covers the basic physiological aspects of exercise and sport which will be further developed in subsequent modules.

Cynnwys cwrs

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.
