Oral Assessment

<p>Children and adolescents are not simply ‘mini-adults’, thus physiological responses to exercise are different from adults. This module aims to describe, understand and critically evaluate the processes of growth and development in children and adolescents, and the potential impact of these on health and performance. The module will explore physiological function, the benefits and risks (e.g. common injuries) of participating in sport and exercise, and development models. </p>
