The course aims to help students understand and apply fundamentals of exercise metabolism, hormonal adaptation and stress during physical exercise, sport and training. Human energy expenditure during rest and physical exercise are examined in detail. This facilitates greater detail study in training for anaerobic and aerobic power, physiological basis of fatigue, post exercise recovery and the endocrine system, hormonal response to exercise or sports training, exercise at altitudes and thermal stress. Study topics also include adaptation to exercise and influence on pulmonary ventilation, cardiovascular regulation, neuronal and hormonal control systems.
