PURPOSE OF THE MODULE:
This module is an extension of the exercise physiology II course of the second year. The
functioning of the body is discussed in detail with special reference to the functioning of the
different body systems during sport and exercise and their adaptations to conditioning.
MODULE OUTCOMES:
The Learner must gain adequate knowledge and skills related to sport and exercise with
regards to:
 The functioning of the different body systems during exercise and sport
 The reactions of the different body systems to sport and physical activity
 Adaptation of body systems to exercise and sport activities
CROSS CRITICAL FIELD OUTCOMES
 Identify and solve problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using
critical and creative thinking have been made.
 Work effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation, community.
 Organise and manage oneself and one’s activities responsibly and effectively.
 Collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information.
 Communicate effectively using visual, logical and/or language skills in the modes of oral
and/or written presentation.
 Use science and technology effectively and critically, showing responsibility
towards the human body.
 Demonstrate an understanding of the body as a set of related systems by recognising that
problem-solving contexts do not exist in isolation

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON OUTCOMES BASED EDUCATION
The ultimate objective of outcomes-based education is to produce graduates who, on completion
of their training, are competent to enter the workplace in the level in which they have been
trained. In other words, they must be able to apply (in the working environment) what they have
learnt. The ability to do so is assessed on the basis of outcomes. Outcomes give direction as to
what must be assessed and the competence which learners need to demonstrate at the end of the
module i.e. the competence of a learner to apply acquired knowledge, skills and values.

ASSIGNMENTS
Full details of the requirements for each assignment will be given in class. Please follow these
guidelines when completing assignments:
1.
All assignments must have an attached declaration of plagiarism.
2.
All assignments must be typed.
3.
Use 12 Times New Roman font, and 1.5 line spacing.
4.
The front page should reflect your personal information.
5.
Make provision for table of contents.
6.
Reference all outside sources that you use.

NB:
Assignments turned in late are deducted by 15% per day; assignments submitted more than 1
week late are given a zero unless prior arrangements have been made with the lecturer.
Any assignment that contains any plagiarism will be sent to the HOD, as well as the Dean of
Science to be further investigated. Students found guilty of plagiarism will receive zeros for
the assignment and will face suspension or exclusion from the University.
PRACTICALS
Full details of the requirements for each practical will be given in class. Students are required to
attend practical in practical (sports) clothes. Students who are not in practicals clothes will not be

ATTENDANCE
A minimum attendance of 80% is required for this module and will be monitored by the lecturer

medical certificates or other acceptable documentation to the lecturer within 2 weeks of the
absence. Medical documentation will only be accepted for serious medical illnesses (headaches,
cramps, stomach bugs etc. will NOT be accepted).
LECTURE NOTES
All lecture material, as well as additional readings and information will be posted onto the
website: http://www.exercisephysiology3.yolasite.com
No additional lecture notes will be printed on request for any student who did not attend class or
for any other reason.
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarizing is taking someone else’s work or idea and pretends it is your own.
Be warned students who submit copied text will obtain a mark of zero for the assignment and
disciplinary steps may be taken by the Department, Faculty and /or University. It is also
unacceptable to do somebody else’s work, to lend your work to them or to make your work
available to them to copy.
