EXSCI4000 Exercise Physiology and Fitness
In this unit students will develop an understanding of the concept of fitness and the various methods used to develop the components of fitness. Students will study and apply the physiological processes and systems involved with exercise, exploring how these systems respond, interact and ultimately enable the body to engage in exercise. Students will also explore the methods used to train these systems to improve performance and capability in youth and develop a fitness training program to compliment these methods.
