Physiological Factors Affecting Performance

Applied Anatomy and Physiology
Exercise Physiology

Morning 1 – 10.00-11.30

AS and A level – focus on ‘the new bits’

Applied Anatomy and Physiology:

• Skeletal and muscular systems
  • planes of movement
  • skeletal muscle contraction
• Environmental effects on body systems (A level only)
  • exercise in the heat

Exercise Physiology:

• Diet and nutrition and their effect on physical activity and performance
  • ergogenic aids

Coffee – 11.30-11.45

Morning 2 – 11.45-1.00  

AS and A level – an overhaul of ‘the old favourites’

Applied Anatomy and Physiology:

• Skeletal and muscular systems
  • joints movements and muscles
  • functional roles of muscles and types of contraction
• Cardiovascular and Respiratory systems
  • cardiovascular system at rest, during exercise of differing intensities and during recovery
  • respiratory system at rest, during exercise of differing intensities and during recovery

Exercise Physiology:

• Energy for exercise (*GCE/A level only)

Lunch – 1.00-1.45

Afternoon – 1.45-3.30 (with short break during session)  

AS and A level – focus back on ‘the new bits’

Exercise Physiology

• Preparation and training methods in relation to improving and maintaining physical

activity and performance

• aerobic training

• Injury prevention and the rehabilitation of injury (*GCE/A level only)
  • acute and chronic injuries
  • injury prevention
  • responding to injuries and medical conditions in a sporting context
  • rehabilitation of injury
