■ HMB171 FITNESS HEALTH & WELLNESS
The dimensions and interrelationships of health, physical activity
and wellness are studied; basic principles of conditioning
and exercise prescription necessary to demonstrate the
impact of physical activity on lifestyle diseases, health behaviours
and wellness are examined; principles and theory of
behaviour change are employed.

■ HMB172 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, NUTRITION &
WEIGHT CONTROL
An introduction to the essential physical growth concepts and
an overview of nutritional principles as they apply to physical
activity and weight control.
Courses: ED50, HM42, IF73
Credit Points: 12 Contact Hours: 4 per week
■ HMB271 MOTOR CONTROL & LEARNING 1
This is an introductory unit which provides an overview of
relevant theories and research in motor learning and control.
This is a multidisciplinary perspective which draws on research
from psychology, neurophysiology, biomechanics and medicine.
The overall orientation of the course is towards understanding
how we learn different skills and control different
actions in both everyday and highly skilled behaviours. This
course also examines how damage to the nervous system, either
through injury or disease, affects these capabilities. Laboratory
work and tutorials complement the lectures and provide
an understanding of testing and analytical procedures
used in this area.

■ HMB272 BIOMECHANICS
The application of mechanics as they apply to Human Movement
including: kinematics and dynamics of human body
models; quantitative analysis; impact; work and power; fluid
dynamics; material properties.
Courses: ED50, ED51, HM42, IF73
Credit Points: 12 Contact Hours: 4 per week
■ HMB273 BIOENERGETICS & MUSCLE
PHYSIOLOGY IN EXERCISE
This unit, together with its companion (HMB381), addresses
central theory and practice in exercise physiology. This unit
is integrated around the theme of energy supply and utilisation
and deals with the relationship between metabolism (aero-
692
bic and anaerobic) and muscle power during exercise. The
theory is addressed within the contexts of age, health, disease
and athletic performance. Practice complements theory and
involves the measurement of mechanical work and power,
muscle strength and endurance, energy expenditure during
exercise, as well as aerobic and anaerobic capacities.
