HLTH SC 3100 - Exercise, Nutrition & Metabolism

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2014

This course concerns analysis of normal diet and the effects of modification nutrient consumption and how this impacts on skeletal muscle metabolism during exercise of different types (resistance vs endurance training), length and severity (intensity). Changes in diet have a profound influence on performance during exercise as well as the physiological adaptations that occur due to longer term exercise training. This course will outline these responses and adaptations to endurance and resistance exercise training. Macronutrient 9fat and carbohydrate) intake will effect fuel utilisation during exercise. This course will encourage students to explore these concepts enabling a better understanding of muscle function during exercise. This course will define skeletal miuscle fatigue together with the effects of a variety of nutritional supplements and ergogenic aids on fatigue and performance during exercise. Furthermore, fundamental aspects of human thermoregulation, fluid and electrolyte balance in exercise and sport will be a module in this course. During this course, students will be able to apply this knowledge by designing basic nutritional plans and advice to enhance human exercise performance. Students will be provided with basic counselling skills to provide appropriate practical dietary and nutritional therapeutic advice.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment Task Assessment Type Weighting Learning Outcome(s) being addressed
    Quiz Formative 10% 1
    Report Summative 20% 2-3
    Project Summative 30% 4
    Final Exam Summative 40% 1-4
    Assessment Detail
    Quiz
    Six quiz will offered via articulate storyline productions. The quiz will be used to support face to face practical and tutorial experiences and for formative assessment.


    Report
    Students will be required to obtain data concerning the nutrient intake/physical characteristics of an athletic or non athletic person. They will use this data to compile a written report outlining the data and offering recommendations to the client using an evidence based approach. The composition of the assignments will be guided throughout the semester with feedback offered in the initial stages of the semester and upon completion of the first case report.

    Project
    Students will be required to produce and present (document and presentation in week 12 or 13) a small group discovery project. Students will be assigned a general theme related to exercise, nutrition and metabolism they will be guided on developing an appropriate research question and produce a comprehensive literature review and research proposal in the area of choice. Specific discovery project sessions will be held in week 4,6 and 9.The project will completed in groups of 5 and be presented to the class as a 20 min presentation where formative assessment will be made. Students will then submit a 4000 word report for assessment.

    Final exam
    Final exam will cover all lecture and practical material. The exam will focus very much on applied and practical aspects of the course. Questions will be based around formative quiz delivered throughout the semester.
    Submission
    All written assignments (report and project) will be submitted and outcome relased via turnitin. Students will be unable to submit any report via turnitin after the due date has closed. Penalties for late submission of assignments – In cases where an extension has NOT been granted, the following penalties will apply:
    • For assignments submitted after the due date, a penalty of 50% of the maximum marks available for that assignment will be incurred.
    • Assignments received two (2) or more days after the due time/date will not be allocated a mark, however, these assignments must still be submitted to pass the unit.

    Supplementary examinations in Exercise, nutrition and metabolism are ORAL exams conducted by a panel of at least two assessors. NO written examination is available. They will only be conducted during the formal supplementary examination period.
  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
