8. Course Description
Applied physiology dealing with human and animal responses to physical activities;
mechanisms of regulation of organ systems integration and adaptation that occur during short- and
long-term exercise; impact of changes in the external environment on physical performance and the
associated physiological responses as well as with the interaction between nutrition and physical
activity.
9.
Course objectives
After completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. understand how the background knowledge of physiology could be applied to the
study of mechanisms that control the organ systems during acute and chronic exercise
(training).
2. describe and explain how different organ functions are regulated and integrated under
exercise stress.
3. gain an insight into the influence of environment, genetics, and gender on physical
performance and its related physiological functions.

11. Teaching Methods
Students should view the practicum/internship experience as the opportunity to
determine if the experience at the specific site might represent a desirable career route. Students
may propose other practicum sites, but students should select sites which will allow them to
develop and enhance skills required in settings in which they are interested. The selection of the
practicum/internship site must be approved by the program committee.
12. Teaching Media
13. Measurement and Evaluation of Student Achievement
Student achievement is based on the successful completion of assignments and evaluation
by the supervisor at the practicum site using the university’s standard symbols: A, B+, B, C+ and C.
14. Course Evaluation
14.1 Evaluate as indicated in number 13 above.
14.2 Evaluate student’ satisfaction towards teaching and learning of the
course using a questionnaire.
