EXSS3061: Exercise Responses and Programming

2027 unit information

This unit examines the acute and chronic responses of the ventilatory, cardiovascular, and metabolic systems to endurance training (also known as aerobic training) in healthy adults. To understand these adaptations, fundamental responses to a single bout of exercise are first examined, with an emphasis on oxygen delivery and consumption, and determinants of submaximal and maximal oxygen uptake. Building on this foundation, the unit examines the chronic adaptations to endurance training across the three systems. The effects of detraining on these adaptations are also examined, with relevance to populations who may experience periods of inactivity. The unit combines this physiology with an evidence-based framework for exercise screening, testing and prescription. Exercise prescription considerations are explored across selected clinical populations. Students develop practical skills in exercise testing through hands-on sessions and apply these, together with their physiological knowledge, to the development of individualised endurance training programs.

Learning outcomes

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. Understand considerations for safe cardiorespiratory fitness assessment for a variety of client groups
LO2. Describe and explain the individual and integrated physiological responses of the cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic systems to acute exercise of differing intensities
LO3. Describe and explain combinations of dosage variable for effective exercise prescription to increase endurance capacity
LO4. Describe and explain the adaptations in cardiovascular and metabolic systems responsible for increased endurance capacity, and associated health benefits, following exercise training in young adult and elderly healthy individuals and in individuals with a variety of chronic medical conditions.
LO5. Describe and explain the adaptations in cardiovascular and metabolic systems responsible for decreased endurance capacity following disuse, bed rest and aging.
LO6. Perform cardiorespiratory fitness assessments and interpret the physiological responses of an individual during exercise
LO7. Evaluate the evidence-base for endurance training for clinical populations in terms of positive performance and health outcomes through review of published randomised-controlled trials and meta-analyses.
