The aim of the course is that you understand the
structure and function of the human body during
exercise as well as the physiological effects and
adaptation processes of physical activity and
training. You know the physiological background
of different physical qualities and can take into
account the importance of physical activity for
health. In addition, you can explain and argue
over how exercise affects the physiological
functions
in the human body and its importance for the
functional capacity and performance. You master
flexibly different measurement methods in
exercise
physiology and can critically choose and use
them.
You understand the meaning of physical activity
and
exercise training as a resource for the
development
of human health, functional capacity and
performance.
You can learn and cooperate together with your
peers
and share information with them.

At the end of the course the student is
expected to be able to

• Explain the basic concepts in exercise
  physiology
• Understand and describe metabolism in
  different exercise performances
• Describe body's acute physiological responses
  and chronic adaptations to different kind of
  physical activity
• Describe how the body's regulation mechanisms
  function during exercise
• Compare different exercises and physical
  qualities and their effects on the body
• Describe what performance development is
  physiologically based on
• Execute basic measurements in exercise
  physiology both at rest and during exercise and
  interpret the measurement results
• Take into account the importance of physical
  activity and training for different people

In the course we discuss physiology in healthy
individuals during acute and chronic exercise.

We concentrate on

• Basic principles of exercise physiology
• Function of the neuromuscular system during
  exercise
• Metabolism
• Function of the cardiorespiratory system
  during exercise
• Hormonal system
• Training effects
