Description

This course covers the critical principles of Physiology, emphasizing how human systems respond and adapt to physical activity. Beginning with an overview of Anatomy and physiology, students will study the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems in the context of exercise. The course then delves into applied Physiology topics, including energy systems, exercise metabolism, and the physiological effects of training.

Learners will examine how Physiology informs the creation of exercise prescriptions tailored to individuals with different needs, including those in clinical and rehabilitative Healthcare settings. The Anatomy and physiology sections ensure learners understand how internal body systems interrelate and how physiological responses can be monitored and measured for both performance and therapeutic outcomes.

This program also explores the role of the exercise physiologist within multidisciplinary Healthcare teams, focusing on the integration of physiological data with patient care strategies. As Physiology is a cornerstone of health science, this course reinforces its application through evidence-based scenarios drawn from real-world Healthcare contexts.

Throughout the course, students will build proficiency in core Physiology concepts, gaining insight into exercise testing, health screening, and chronic disease management through the lens of Anatomy and physiology. The integration of Physiology with Healthcare protocols helps learners appreciate the full scope of responsibilities in clinical and athletic environments.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for:

  • Individuals looking to begin a career in Healthcare with a focus on exercise and rehabilitation.

  • Fitness professionals seeking to expand their knowledge of Physiology and Anatomy and physiology.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
