Description
This unit examines the physiological adaptations that occur in response to anaerobic, aerobic, and concurrent training. Specifically, the acute and chronic endocrinological, biochemical, immunological, molecular and biological responses and adaptations that occur as a result of training will be analysed. Additionally, the acute and chronic physiological responses that occur during periods of detraining will be explored.
Equivalent Rule
Unit was previously coded SPS4101
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
- Assess the role of genetics in mediating physiological adaptations and performance outcomes.
- Critically analyse activities to determine the utilisation of the energy systems during various types of exercise.
- Define the responses and functions of the cardio-respiratory system during rest and exercise.
- Demonstrate advanced knowledge of the theoretical basis for selection of strength and conditioning activities.
- Evaluate the effects of manipulating training variables on the acute and chronic physiological and biochemical responses to training.
- Explain the responses of the endocrine system during exercise.
- Select activities of sufficient intensity and duration to bring about measurable improvements in health and/or fitness.
Unit Content
- Biochemical adaptations to acute and chronic exercise.
- Concurrent strength and endurance training.
- Genetics and their relationship to performance.
- Hormonal adaptations to acute and chronic exercise.
- Methods of training for anaerobic and aerobic fitness.
- Neuromuscular responses to acute and chronic exercise.
- Theoretical bases of exercise programing including peaking, overtraining and detraining.
- Utilisation of energy systems during exercise and recovery.
Additional Learning Experience Information
This unit incorporates online lectures, tutorials, discussion groups, and other e-learning activities.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)
For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Academic Misconduct
Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
- plagiarism;
- unauthorised collaboration;
- cheating in examinations;
- theft of other students' work;
Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
