Arviointikriteerit, kiitettävä (5)

Students have a detailed understanding of the effects of exercise on basic bodily functions. They are aware of the regulation of force production by the neuromuscular system, functions of energy metabolism and thermoregulation as well as the basic measurement methods, analyses and
interpretation of results and are able to fully utilize them in exercise programming.

Arviointikriteerit, tyydyttävä (1)

The students have a basic understanding of the effects of exercise on basic bodily functions,especially on the locomotor and cardiovascular systems. They are aware of the regulation of force production by the neuromuscular and thermoregulatory systems and energy metabolism in general as well as basic measurement methods but their analyses and interpretation of results concerning exercise programming are somewhat poor.
