Description

This course provides the foundation for the study of movement sciences. It introduces anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and exercise nutrition

This compulsory course provides the foundation for the study of movement sciences. It introduces fundamental principals of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and exercise nutrition.

The movement sciences are fundamental building blocks of the study of human movement. Knowledge of the structure and function of the human body and the principles governing human movement is crucial for all students who have chosen to specialise in the discipline of sport coaching.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to:
Identify the levels of organisation in the body.
Identify different chemical classes important to the body.
Describe how cells produce the energy required to function.
Outline how homeostatic control mechanisms function.
Describe the functional anatomy and physiology of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastro-intestinal, renal and blood systems
Determine how the body maintains a constant temperature and regulates water balance during exercise.
Introduction to the energy systems.
