Module JXH-1017:
Human Physiology

Module Facts

Run by School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences

20.000 Credits or 10.000 ECTS Credits

Semester 1 & 2

Organiser: Dr Hans-Peter Kubis

Overall aims and purpose

The aim of this module is to provide the students with core knowledge in human physiology necessary to understand the physiological aspects of exercise and sport covered in subsequent modules (SHES).

Course content

In this module, physiological mechanisms, responses and assessments will be taught and demonstrated to enhance understanding of the topic. 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 and response to exercise.

Assessment Criteria

threshold

Assignments (5) on Blackboard will be MCQs; to pass the module assignments (D), a combination of about 40% of the MCQ questions need to be answered correctly, plus practical reports need to be submitted at least with visible successful data collection.

good

To pass the module assignments with category C, the assignments (5) on Blackboard have been answered with 52% of the questions correctly and practical reports contain data collection and simple interpretation are confirmed by the supervisor of the practicals.

excellent

To pass the module assignments (5) with A, about 70% of MCQs on Blackboard need to be answered correctly with practical reports showing visible clear successful data collection, graphs and interpretation of experiments

Learning outcomes

  1. Explain selected principles in human physiology

  2. Discuss some of the body’s acute physiological responses to exercise

  3. Demonstrate that they can solve physiological problems

  4. Record and analyse physiological data

  5. Describe and explain fundamental human physiological processes

  6. Use of equipment for measurement of physiological parameters
