Resit booking
Exam booking for a test in current academic year (resit)
You will be booked automatically for the resit in one of our resit periods. You may check our calenders to find out which modules can be retaken and when: https://intranet.maastrichtuniversity.nl/nl/fhml-studenten/studieverloop/wanneer-wat
As of one week before the resit test takes place, you can check in Student Portal if you are booked correctly: Student Portal > My Courses > More actions. The test will also be visible in your time table.
Exam booking for a test from a previous academic year (exam only)
All students who have not passed the test for this module in a previous academic year, will be booked automatically for the test during the regular block period. You will be enrolled in the new course in Canvas but not scheduled for a tutorial group and other educational activities.
If you do not wish to participate in this test at the end of the regular block period please de-register via askFHML.
Resit date: 10-7-2024

Description:
|
EN:
Various forms of exericse challenge the functions of our body. The fact that we usually cope well with those circumstances, sometimes under extreme conditions, shows that the body is capable of extensive adaptations. Studying of how our body handles exercise is an excellent way to understand the physiology as a whole. Moreover, the systems that allow us to perform well during exericse are the same that help us to survive diseases. Also, it is becoming increasingly clear that physical exercise is of primary importance for keeping a good health, such as preventing obesitas, diabetes, cardiovascular disease. This teaching block aims to study physiology of the human body until the most extreme situations and hope that future physicians will recognise exercise training as a pivotal treatment option.
