The aim of the course is that the student gets a
general view of body's structure and function
during exercise. The student familiarizes with
basic exercise physiology and physiological
effects of physical activity. The student knows
the physiological background of different
physical
qualities, understands the adaptational processes
in the body after physical training and knows how
exercise affects the physiological functions in
the human body. In addition, the student develops
his/her general competences by learning together
and cooperating in a group and by sharing
information and own knowledge with others.

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
- Understand the basic regulation mechanisms
(nervous system, hormonal system) in exercise
physiology
- Understand what performance development is
physiologically based on
- Execute basic measurements in exercise
physiology
- Write a report about practical measurements in
exercise physiology

- Basic principles of exercise physiology
- Function of the neuromuscular system during
exercise
- Metabolism
- Function of the cardiorespiratory system during
exercise
- Hormonal system
- Training effects
- Sports injuries
