OXYGENATION AND EXERCISE
BIO3OAE
2017
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject examines the control and molecular mechanisms of muscle systems (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) with respect to normal function in terms of growth, development, maturation and exercise-induced changes. Alterations in muscle structure and function after injury or associated with disease will also be explored. The role of blood in providing oxygen and nutrients to muscle systems and how carbon dioxide and other waste products are removed from the blood will also be studied. Material covered in this unit provides a strong foundation for further study in areas such as exercise training, fitness, rehabilitation and research activities involved in muscular diseases.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes
01. Explain current concepts of muscle structure and metabolism and how this meets needs, both at rest and in activity.
- Activities:
- Muscle structure and metabolism at rest and in activity are discussed in lectures and further explored in practical classes. In discussion groups, students explore novel exercise training methods and their impact on muscle physiology. Assessment will be by examination and group presentation.

02. Discuss the adaptive responses of the muscular, respiratory and cardiovascular systems during exercise, after injury, or in a disease state.
- Activities:
- The responses of muscular, respiratory and cardiovascular systems to exercise, injury and disease are discussed in lectures and discussion groups. Students will explore these in practical classes. A selection of scenarios are made available for students to explore and discuss. Assessment will be by examination, essay and group presentation.

03. Discuss how muscle function alters throughout a lifespan which impacts on exercise tolerance.
- Activities:
- Students will learn about, research and discuss changes in muscle function with aging and its impact on exercise tolerance in lectures, seminars and discussion groups. A range of research papers is made available for students to review , critique and discuss. Assessment will be by examination, essay and group presentation.

04. Integrate the physiology associated with the respiratory and circulatory systems with respect to maintaining sufficient oxygenation and nutrition to muscle tissues under resting conditions and in exercise or disease.
- Activities:
- Oxygen and nutritional delivery to muscle tissue at rest, during exercise and in diseased conditions is explored in lectures, seminars, and practical classes. In disscussion groups, students explore novel exercise training methods and their impact on respiratory physiology. Assessment will be by examination, essay and group presentation.
