Rationale

The response of body systems to exercise is a focus of this course. A variety of physical activities and exercise undertaken by different populations will be examined and their physiological effects on the body assessed. A number of theoretical and practical issues related to exercise physiology will be outlined. The course will also present relevant information from a number of discipline areas as it relates to the effect of exercise on the body.

Synopsis

This course provides a review of the physiology of the body systems of the human body. Theoretical knowledge from various disciplines and from research within exercise physiology will be examined. The course will provide the opportunity to undertake practical physiological testing and asses how the data can improve exercise programs for clients. The effect of exercise on clients with a range of medical and other conditions will be reviewed . A range of theoretical and practical issues will be outlined.

This course contains a mandatory residential school for external students at the Ipswich Campus and mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes for on-campus students.

Objectives

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. Articulate a proficient level of knowledge of the physiological effects of exercise on the various human physiological systems (individually to collectively).
  2. Analyse the role of physiological factors in exercise based on examples from variety of physical activities and in different populations.
  3. Select from and apply a variety of physiological testing procedures to measure a number of physiological parameters.
  4. Apply and integrate knowledge from various discipline areas to develop evidence based research projects to improve exercise programs for specific clients.
  5. Evaluate how knowledge and skills on exercise physiology can influence the nature and type of exercise programs required to meet the goals of clients from different population groups and with various conditions.

Important assessment information

  1. Attendance requirements:
    External students must attend the mandatory residential school and on-campus students must attend the mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes. It is the students responsibility to study all material provided to them or required to be accessed by them, including discussion forums, to maximise their chance of meeting the objectives of the course and to be informed of course-related activities and administration. On-campus students should attend and participate in all activities (such as lectures and tutorials) scheduled for them. Students enrolled in this course via on campus delivery are required to attend a minimum of 80% of practical sessions throughout the semester. External students are required to attend a minimum of 80% of residential school sessions during the designated residential school period.

  2. Requirements for students to complete each assessment item satisfactorily:
    Due to COVID-19 the requirements for S1 2020 are: To satisfactorily complete an individual assessment item a student must achieve at least 50% of the marks for that item. To satisfactorily complete the course a student must attend and participate at least 80% of the laboratories for on campus students and 80% attendance of residential school sessions for externally enrolled students.

    Requirements after S1 2020:
    To satisfactorily complete an individual assessment item a student must achieve at least 50% of the marks for that item. To satisfactorily complete the course a student must attend and participate at least 80% of the laboratories for on campus students and 80% attendance of residential school sessions for externally enrolled students. To satisfactorily complete assessment items 3 and 4 a student must achieve at least 40% of the marks available for each of the multiple choice and written sections of the final exam.

  3. Penalties for late submission of required work:
    Students should refer to the Assessment Procedure (point 4.2.4).

  4. Requirements for student to be awarded a passing grade in the course:
    Due to COVID-19 the requirements for S1 2020 are: To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must obtain at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course (i.e. the Primary Hurdle). Students must also attend 80% of practical sessions throughout the semester (Proficiency).

    Requirements after S1 2020:
    To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must obtain at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course (i.e. the Primary Hurdle), and have satisfied the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised), i.e. the end of semester examination by achieving at least 40% of the marks available for that assessment item. Students must also attend 80% of practical sessions throughout the semester (Proficiency).

    Supplementary assessment may be offered where a student has undertaken all of the required summative assessment items and has passed the Primary Hurdle but failed to satisfy the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised), or has satisfied the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised) but failed to achieve a passing Final Grade by 5% or less of the total weighted Marks.

    To be awarded a passing grade for a supplementary assessment item (if applicable), a student must achieve at least 50% of the available marks for the supplementary assessment item as per the Assessment Procedure (point 4.4.2).

  5. Method used to combine assessment results to attain final grade:
    The final grades for students will be assigned on the basis of the aggregate of the weighted marks obtained for each of the summative assessment items in the course.

  6. Examination information:
    Due to COVID-19 the requirements for S1 2020 are: An Open Examination is one in which candidates may have access to any printed or written material and a calculator during the examination.

    Due to COVID-19 the requirements for S1 2020 are: The details regarding deferred/supplementary examinations will be communicated at a later date.

    Requirements after S1 2020:
    Any Deferred or Supplementary examinations for this course will be held during the next examination period.

  8. University Student Policies:
    Students should read the USQ policies: Definitions, Assessment and Student Academic Misconduct to avoid actions which might contravene University policies and practices. These policies can be found at .

Assessment notes

  2. If electronic submission is specified for a course assessment, students will be notified of this on the Course Study Desk. The due date for an electronically submitted assessment is the date by which a student must electronically submit the assignment irrespective of holidays. The assignment files must be submitted by 11.55pm on the due date using USQ time (as displayed on the clock on the course home page; that is, Australian Eastern Standard Time).

  3. If hardcopy submission is specified for a course assessment students will be notified of this on the Course Study Desk. The due date for a hardcopy assignment is the date by which a student must submit at USQ or despatch the assignment to USQ irrespective of holidays.

  4. USQ will NOT accept submission of assignments by facsimile or email unless expressly requested by the course examiner.

  5. Referencing in Assignments must comply with the APA referencing system. This system should be used by students to format details of the information sources they have cited in their work. The APA style to be used is defined by the USQ library's referencing guide. These policies can be found at

  6. As part of the mandatory residential school, students may be expected to complete a combination of laboratories, practical classes and assessment as advised by the course examiner.
