1 Unit 1: Applied exercise physiology - introduction Topic Learning Objectives Learning Activities Bevis and Murray Page Number Improving fitness and health explain the different concepts of health and fitness explain how the health and fitness of an individual are related explain why it is difficult to separate concepts of health and fitness in theory and in practice break down healthrelated and skillrelated fitness into individual components analyse the effect of an individual s choice of lifestyle on their health and fitness. Concepts of fitness and health Health Fitness How health and fitness are related The different components of fitness Components of healthrelated fitness Components of skillrelated fitness How lifestyle choices can affect health and fitness Diet Exercise Alcohol Smoking Lifestyle choices, fitness and health Resources 2 14 Concept Presentation The impact of aerobic capacity on heart disease Powerpoint and discussion Components of healthand skill related fitness Identification of fitness components through analysis of a hockey game situation Analysis of data on obesity in men and women

2 Nutrition understand percentage body fat/body composition and Body Mass Index (BMI) as ways of measuring whether a person s diet is nutritionally suitable for them understand definitions of obesity and the limitations in trying to define it seven classes of food and how they are used during exercise need for a balanced diet and the idea of the energy balance of food different types of diet required by endurance athletes and power athletes. Energy Basal metabolic rate Percentage body fat Obesity The seven classes of food Carbohydrates Fat Protein Fibre Minerals Vitamins Folic acid Water Balanced diet Different diets for different athletes Concept Presentation Understanding the definitions of obesity and the limitations in trying to define it. Case Study Comparison of different diets in sport Are you the right weight for your height? The seven classes of food Simulation Nutritional Content of foods Powerpoint presentation

3 Lung function vital part that the lungs and associated processes of respiration play in enabling us to stay alive and to engage in physical activity mechanics of breathing how our lungs are able to take air in and out during rest and exercise describe the different lung volumes and their capacities interpret spirometer readings, in the form of graphs, of lung volumes at rest and during exercise process of oxygen and carbon dioxide gas exchange that takes place in the lung alveoli and in the muscles process of diffusion The mechanics of breathing Lungs Lung volumes and capacities Gas exchange Diffusion in the lungs The control of breathing and the role of carbon dioxide Concept Presentation Diffusion of gases in the body Case Study The lung capacity of elite rowers Inspiration and Expiration The control of breathing

4 of oxygen and that carbon dioxide occurs within the lungs and at the muscle site understand what is meant by the concept of partial pressure and how it relates to differences of oxygen and carbon dioxide content in the alveolar air and pulmonary blood. Blood transport system circulation of the blood at rest and during exercise transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide by the blood, including the roles of haemoglobin and myoglobin in oxygen transport venous return mechanism a vo2 difference. Introduction Circulation Arteries and veins Redistribution of blood during exercise Blood pressure and velocity Venous return Transport of respiratory gases Oxygen transport Carbon dioxide transport Gaseous exchange at tissues Concept Presentation Redistribution of blood during exercise Case Study Transport of blood gases Venous return Transport of respiratory gases

5 Heart function structure of the heart and the cardiac cycle terms cardiac output, stroke volume and heart rate and the relationship between them role of blood carbon dioxide in changing heart rate, heart rate range in response to exercise and the hormonal and nervous effects on heart rate effect of exercise (Starling s law of the heart and cardiovascular drift) and training on the heart (cardiac hypertrophy leading to bradycardia/athlete s heart). How the heart contracts An analogy for understanding the regulation of heart rate Regulation of heart rate Effects of training Concept Presentation Conduction system of the heart Case Study Effects of training on heart rate and function How the heart contracts Regulating heart rate

6 Analysis of movements names of articulating bones, joint types, joint actions, planes and axes, main agonists and antagonists describe types of muscle contraction of the shoulder and elbow involved in press ups, over arm throwing and forehand racket strokes names of articulating bones, joint types, joint actions, planes and axes, main agonists and antagonists, and types of muscle contraction of the hip, knee and ankle involved in running, kicking, jumping and squats three classes of levers and provide examples from sporting actions How we move Planes of motion Analysis of specific movements Running Jumping Kicking Over arm throwing Racket strokes Squats Press ups Levers Concept Presentation Analysis of specific movements Case Study Striking a ball Identification of bones Identification of muscles Understanding levers Simulation Planes of Movement

7 relationship of levers to effective performance and the range and speed of movement concepts of mechanical advantage and disadvantage.
