performance and their physiological foundation
in the human body. The student understands how
different types of exercises and training
methods affect the functions in the human body
and understands how the human body adapts to
physical training. The student gets both a
theoretical and practical view into the world of
fitness testing and test physiology by conducting
the tests practically by herself/himself. The
student can utilize his/her knowledge and learn
to plan training appropriately in order to be
able to promote health, well-being and physical
activity for different target groups as well as
to
develop physical performance and in order
