Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student:
- knows the neuromuscular basis of physical exercise;
- knows the metabolic, cardiovascular, and respiratory responses before, during and after exercise (acute responses) and the role of the nervous and endocrine systems in regulating them;
- knows the morphological, neuromuscular, metabolic, cardiovascular, respiratory and endocrine adaptations induced by training and physical de-conditioning (chronic responses);
- is able to evaluate the quantitative parameters of such responses and relate them to the normal field of variability
- knows the influence of age, gender, environmental conditions and health status on these responses;
- is able to apply the aforementioned knowledge to the functional evaluation and prescription of physical exercise.
