Exercise Science examines theories of the biological, physiological, biomechanical, and psychological aspects, and their interrelationships and influences on performance and participation in physical activity. Unit 1: Anatomy and Physiology for Exercise. Students will examine and explore the structure and function of the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems and analyse how these systems adapt and adjust to the demands of physical activity. Unit 2: Preparation for Training for Performance Students investigate the factors that influence sports performance. Students will critically analyse the effectiveness of training and nutritional guidelines and their contribution to improving athletic performance.
