The aim of this module is to develop the students' understanding of the structure, function and homeostatic regulation of the human body with reference to integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, immune, endocrine and reproductive systems.

The aims of this module are:

• To support students' transition into and progression through university education by developing the core academic and vocational knowledge and skills required for their programme and future careers.
• To introduce the use of basic research methods relevant to students disciplines.
• To enable students to become aware of and develop their academic, professional, social and personal skills through the Loughborough University Personal Best development programme.

The aims of this module are for students to:

• be introduced to topics, concepts and ways of thinking that require an integration of knowledge from different areas of sport and exercise science;
• have an opportunity to work on topics of personal interest, allowing prior knowledge to be recognised and contributing to contextual learning across modules;
• develop curiosity and enthusiasm to discover how knowledge can be applied to real-world issues;
• cultivate a questioning and problem-solving mind-set, which they can apply across modules;
• develop an awareness of the career routes available to the sport and exercise scientist, and the role and needs of industry across the profession;

The aims of this module are to develop students' theoretical and practical understanding of the mechanics of human motion, especially as related to sporting performance; and the anatomical structures of the body and the ways that the muscular and skeletal systems interact during motion.

The aim of this module is to further student understanding of the fundamental aspects of biochemistry and cell biology that underpin the wider study of human biology.

The aim of this module is to develop students' understanding of some of the key concepts underpinning the psychology of sport and exercise participation and performance.

The aim of this module is to build on basic research design and statistical skills learnt in PSA701, to understand basic quantitative research design and statistical analysis principles for human biologists, bio-scientists and sports scientists.

The aim of this module is for students to develop knowledge, critical understanding and skills relating to physical activity, sedentary behaviour and health.

The aims of this module are for the student to:

• Acquire knowledge on the principles of human nutrition, including the the concept of energy (calorie) requirements and energy balance, and the main functions of macronutrients and their metabolic and physiological roles.
• Appraise human nutrient requirements, including the use of dietary reference values and government recommendations for population health.
• Acquire knowledge on the effects of macronutrients on cellular and whole-body metabolism.
• Understand how exercise affects metabolism from a whole-body level to a tissue, cellular and molecular level.

The aim of this module is to further students' understanding of the acute physiological responses to exercise and chronic physiological adaptations to exercise and training in humans and how these responses are regulated. The influence of environmental factors and fatigue on physiological processes are also examined. A further aim is to develop students' practical laboratory/experimental skills in human and exercise physiology.

The aims of this module are for the student to:

• develop an understanding of the mechanical principles governing human movement
• be introduced to the mathematical modelling of sports movements
• be introduced to biomechanical data acquisition techniques and their use in mechanical analysis of sports movements

The aim of this module is to develop students' understanding of key theoretical and practical factors governing the acquisition and performance of human movement skills.

The aim of this module is to further students' understanding of the major psychological determinants and perceptual-cognitive factors underpinning sport expertise.

The aim of this module is to develop students understanding of key theoretical and empirical perspectives that explain contemporary sport and exercise psychology topics.

The aim of this module is to provide students with the knowledge, understanding, skills and opportunity to select, organise and conduct an enquiry-based project in a topic relevant to their development and programme.

The aim of this module is for students to demonstrate a more advanced and critical understanding of the physiological and metabolic underpinnings of exercise as a therapy to prevent and manage chronic metabolic disease.

The aim of this module is for students to demonstrate a more advanced and critical understanding of the impact of diet and nutritional supplements on human performance and health.

The aim of this module is for students to demonstrate a more advance and critical understanding of the physiological limitations to performance in sport and the characteristics that determine elite sport performance.

The aim of this module is for the student to develop an understanding of theoretical and experimental approaches to biomechanical analyses underpinned by the relationships between forces, motion, and the human musculoskeletal system during dynamic activities in sport.

The aim of this module is for students to demonstrate a more advanced and critical understanding of the theoretical and practical approaches to the study of human movement control with particular reference to sports movements.

The aim of this module is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the multi-disciplinary intersection between sport, climate action, and nature. It explores the impact of climate change on sport, the impact of sport on climate change, and the interdisciplinary approaches required to address the challenges stemming from these impacts.

The aim of this module is for students to demonstrate a more advanced and critical understanding of the theories, strategies and interventions which underpin the real-world application of exercise psychology.

The aims of this module are for students to demonstrate a more advanced and critical understanding of the psychological approaches, issues, strategies, and skills that are relevant in applied practice; and to explore the professional characteristics and vocational skills required of an effective sport and exercise psychologist.
