MODULE OUTLINE FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURE Lecturer: Ms. K Frames E-mail: FramesK@unizulu.ac.za Office: A1- 46 Phone: 0359026972 Module Title: Exercise Physiology III Module Code: SHMD 339 NQF Level: 7 Credit Value: 32 Department: Biokinetics and Sport Science Faculty: Science and Agriculture Pre-requisite Modules: None Programme: National Diploma in Sport and Exercise Technology Purpose of the Module: This module is an extension of the exercise physiology II course of the second year. The functioning of the body is discussed in detail with special reference to the functioning of the different body systems during sport and exercise and their adaptations to conditioning. Module Outcomes: The Learner must gain adequate knowledge and skills related to sport and exercise with regards to: The functioning of the different body systems during exercise and sport The reactions of the different body systems to sport and physical activity and Adaptation of body systems to exercise and sport activities.
