Course Descriptions (Griffith Course Profiles are available at: http://app.griffith.edu.au/course-profile-search/index.php.)
2001AHS Physiology of Exercise
This course builds on content from previous semesters, and provides students with an in depth understanding of the physiological
responses that occur during exercise. Particular attention will be given to the responses of the cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine
and metabolic systems during exercise, their integration and regulation. The adaptations to acute and chronic exercise will be
examined in healthy and diseased populations.
2010AHS Musculoskeletal Anatomy
Musculoskeletal Anatomy has been designed to consolidate knowledge of structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. A
thorough understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy is imperative to the practice of physiotherapists and other health professionals.
Students will build on theoretical knowledge and practical skills obtained in prerequisite courses through a series of lectures,
specialised laboratory sessions and movement analysis activities.
3003AHS Biomechanics II
Biomechanics is the science that examines the internal and external forces acting on a body and the effects produced by these forces.
Biomechanics II builds upon knowledge and skills gained in Biomechanics I. Topics covered include gait analysis, tissue mechanics,
musculoskeletal biomechanics, with application to sport, work and the clinical and rehabilitation settings.
3026AHS Neuroscience II
Neuroscience II aims to expand on the student's current knowledge of Neuroscience with specific regard to the fundamental design,
organization and workings of the CNS. A key area will be the further understanding of the organisation of the CNS and how changes in
CNS capacity are characterised, with particular reference to the concepts of dysfunction, dynamical disease states, complexity and
plasticity. Emphasis will also be placed on the further developing the understanding of the role of the CNS during functional movements.
