Course programme

What you'll study

Our Exercise Physiology MSc programme is designed to provide you with laboratory and field based research experience during the in-depth study of relevant areas of exercise physiology.

Modules

This programme covers a wide range of topics; to give you a taster we have expanded on some of the core modules affiliated with this programme and the specific assessment methods associated with each module.

  • Compulsory
  • Optional

Compulsory

Physiology of Endurance Performance

Physiology of Endurance Performance

Learn to understand the physiology of the body systems that underpin the capacity for exercise including the basis of intervention/training strategies to enhance endurance performance, the basis of fatigue and determinants of performance in events requiring endurance and repetitive high intensity work and to understand the physiological characteristics of elite athletes in particular sports.

Current Research in Exercise Physiology

Current Research in Exercise Physiology

Gain a critical understanding of the most recent research in the physiology of exercise and sport and its possible application to the performance, recovery or health of the athlete.

Laboratory Techniques in Exercise Physiology

Laboratory Techniques in Exercise Physiology

Develop competency in a wide range of research techniques (exercise tests, biochemistry, calibration, data handling) for the study of human physiology during exercise to prepare students to undertake laboratory-based research in these areas.

Quantitative Research Methods

Quantitative Research Methods

Gain a critical understanding and appreciation of statistical theory and its application in sport, exercise and health sciences;

Gain a working knowledge of common statistical procedures in sport, exercise and health sciences research.

Research Project

Research Project

Plan and carry out an original research study utilising knowledge gained from other modules on the MSc programme.

Optional

Exercise and immunology

Exercise and immunology

Evaluate the evidence concerning the influence of exercise on immune function and infection risk.

Study the relationship between training and respiratory infection risk, how exercise affects immune defence mechanisms, how nutritional interventions may help to reduce infection risks in athletes and how this relationship can be applied to the health of the general population.

Vocational Skills in Exercise Physiology

Vocational Skills in Exercise Physiology

Develop a systematic understanding of the framework within which the exercise physiology operates within a sport-science or clinical setting;

Critically appreciate professional issues and the role of the exercise physiologist.

Neuromuscular Function

Neuromuscular Function

Develop understanding of neuromuscular function from the micro to applied whole human body level using principles of biomechanics and muscle physiology, and gain practical skills in investigating neuromuscular function at the whole body level.

Sport and Exercise Nutrition

Sport and Exercise Nutrition

Examine the fundamental principles of human nutrition and metabolism and how exercise and sport influence nutrient needs and eating strategies
