Exclusions
Description This module examines the metabolic events that occur during and in response to exercise, from the whole body to the molecular level. You will learn the mechanisms that activate fuel mobilisation, transport and oxidation during exercise. You will discover the metabolic interactions of different organs and the mechanisms for the response to exercise and adaptations to exercise training. You will also explore the health benefits of regular activity and the underlying mechanisms.
Learning Outcomes By the end of the module students should be able to:
  • Discuss the biochemical pathways involved in metabolism and the regulation of exercise metabolism
  • Explain the integration of metabolism in different organs in response to exercise
  • Evaluate the metabolic adaptations to exercise training
  • Discuss the health benefits of regular physical activity and the underlying mechanisms
  • Appraise the design and methodology of research articles and be able to critically evaluate scientific papers
