Health and Wellness
UCPWT127 · 1.0 credits · 4 topics · official syllabus ↗
Module 1: Body Systems, Physical Activity and Fitness · 4 hrs
What happens in your body when you exercise, how activity is measured in METs, and the FITT principle for designing a programme that actually fits your life rather than one you abandon in a fortnight.
Module 2: Health, Wellness, Sports and Nutrition · 2 hrs
The difference between health and wellness, what actually affects mental health, and enough nutrition to read a food label critically — macronutrients, the glycaemic index, and what a balanced diet means in practice.
Module 3: Hypokinetic Disorders, Yoga and Substance Abuse · 4 hrs
The diseases caused by not moving enough — which are now the leading causes of death in India — and two things that address them: yoga as a practice, and an honest account of what psychoactive substances do.
Module 4: First Aid and Sports Injuries · 2 hrs
The two hours of this course most likely to matter outside it. CPR, the Heimlich manoeuvre, and what to do about cuts, burns, sprains and fractures before help arrives.
