This module explores the science behind the structure and function of systems within the human body. Specifically, you will learn about the nervous, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems and discover their role in the contexts of sport, exercise and health. Taught sessions involve lectures that provide the fundamental principles, and interactive workshops and practicals that enable students to develop skills in problem solving and applied practice. This blend of theory and application will support learning on other modules across the programme.
The assessment comprises an applied movement analysis, requiring the use of information from a variety of resources. You will also complete weekly online tests, which will help you to consolidate learning, and an exam covering all aspects of the module at the end of the year.
