In course Summative SAQ’s and OTLA SAQ’s
Formative SAQ’s
- Explain the physiological concepts of structure and function, and homeostasis, using examples drawn from the principal body systems and functions.
- Appraise the physiological adaptions to these systems that occur during exercise and how these systems can be disturbed by disease.
- Explain the physiological responses in the context of exercise and training and how these might be tested and measured.
- Explain the psychological affects in the context of exercise and training and how these might be tested and measured
- Explain sensory and motor control of movement, and the movement and forces in the context of exercise and training and how these might be tested and measured.
- Describe how motor control functions as a mechanistic link between physiology and psychology, and the physical processes underpinning these can be described through biomechanics
- Explain how exercise and training are affected through metabolic responses and how these can be explained in mechanistic terms
- Explain how exercise and training are affected through energy balance, and nutrition and how these can be explained in mechanistic terms
- Describe how skills are developed through exercise and training and how these are affected by psychological processes
Assignment 2
Reflective Component
- Develop and reflect on research knowledge, skills & behaviours relevant both to the discipline, and for careers beyond the Biomedical and Exercise Sciences;

The students will receive formative feedback on SAQ’s throughout both semesters- peer marked and generic feedback

SAQ’s will be problem based exercises with guided questions. Practice of these individually and in groups will be done formatively and peer/generic feedback given. SAQs will test the LO’s
| Exam type | Exam duration | % of formal assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Online Time-Limited assessment | 3.0 Hrs Mins | 40 |

OTLA SAQ’s will be problem based exercises with guided questions similar to the in course ones but competed in a fixed time frame. .
