On successful completion of this course, students will:
1. Understand strategies used to monitor training loads and physiological responses to overtraining and detraining;
2. Describe the physiological principles and biochemical pathways related to muscle fatigue and soreness during and after exercise;
3 Be able to differentiate and explain the normal and abnormal responses to exercise and why they occur;
4. Understand and describe the specific physiological adaptations to a variety of exercise training modalities;
5. Understand and describe the physiological mechanism related to thermoregulation and fluid homeostasis during exercise in either hot or cold exposure;
6. Develop a fundamental understanding of the emerging field of genetics on Exercise Physiology;
7. Demonstrate an ability to write safe and effective exercise prescription plans;
8. Understand the physiology related to valid exercise testing and prescription.
