On successful completion of the course, students will be able to demonstrate:
1. An understanding of the physiological systems necessary for exercise
2. An understanding of the physiological responses to a bout of physical activity
3. An understanding of the principles of exercise training and the different types of exercise training programs
4. An understanding of the physiological adaptations to regular exercise training
5. An understanding of the need for specific types and levels of fitness for different sports
6. An understanding of the role of physical activity in the maintenance of health and physical fitness
7. Skills in conducting basic exercise tests

Major topics include:
1. Structure and function of skeletal muscle
2. Neural control of muscle
3. Energy systems
4. Sports nutrition
5. Cardiovascular responses to exercise
6. Respiratory responses to exercise
7. exercise at altitude and underwater
8. Thermoregulation
9. Body composition
