Human Response to Physical Activity

Description

This course examines the human response to physical activity from physiological, psychological and sociological perspectives. Students will examine what constitutes physical activity, and how a human responds to a range of activities across the exercise vs. intensity continuum. This will include an examination of the physiological and psychological responses to physical activity and the placement of such in a sociological context. The implications of growth and development, across the lifespan, for the human response to physical activity will also be examined, as will the predominant energy system for differing exercise intensities and durations.
