Scheduled Learning and Teaching Activities: (50)

Guided Independent Study: (100)

A range of formative and summative assessment methods will be used which are appropriate to the teaching and learning delivery method, mode of attendance and proposed weighting criteria used for this module, and as reflected within the Scheme and Award specifications.
A contextualised and approved assessment strategy and schedule will be published to students by award.
With regards to the HREF students, the Module will be split into two assessments (identified below). Methods include practical workshop assessments. These have been chosen to show the students underpinning knowledge of anatomical terminology, athrology and myology. The written review assessments have been chosen to demonstrate a level of critical discussion and debate with regards to pertinent research articles.
The assessment methods will enable the student to work effectively both under their own initiative and as a member of a team during group-based projects to provide evidence which clearly satisfies the Learning Outcomes for this module.

1. Practical (addressing LO's 1, 2, 3 and 4)

2. Written Report (1800 words) (addressing LO's 1, 2, 3, and 4)

All learning outcomes are covered by the 2 assessment methods. Students must attempt all assessments and achieve an overall pass grade for the module

Additional Assessment Details (include formative feedback / assessment):
Formative feedback will be provided in a variety of forms, including written feedback on proposed titles, outline assignment plans and full drafts

Feedback may take place via full-class, group and individual tutorials

- Investigate and describe using appropriate technical terms the basic anatomical structure of the human body i.e. skeletal system, articular and muscular systems.
- Investigate the functions and relationships between the cardiovascular, blood and the respiratory systems during exercise.
- Investigate and evaluate the metabolic processes of major organs associated to energy production and fuel supply during exercise.
- Investigate and identify the role of the liver, digestive and urinary systems during exercise and the maintenance of homeostasis
- Explain and investigate the processes associated with the development of scar tissue and reduction of inflammation during injury and disease.
- Physiological process in relation to prevention, management and treatment of a range of injury and health conditions
- Investigate and evaluate the possible effects, both positive and negative of physical activity upon the skeletal, articular, muscular, respiratory, digestive and urinary systems.
