FUNDAMENTALS OF EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY (BASIC + ADVANCED)
Details:
Discover how the human body generates and utilizes energy during physical activity, bridging foundational principles with advanced insights. This comprehensive course covers everything from ATP's vital role to the intricacies of overtraining, equipping you with evidence-based strategies for designing and optimizing exercise regimens.
Through case studies and real-world scenarios, you'll learn how to apply these concepts in both clinical and athletic settings. Exercise physiology is the science behind every effective training program, rehabilitation protocol, and performance optimization strategy. This course takes you on a complete journey from cellular energy production through system-wide adaptations, giving you the physiological literacy to design intelligent, individualized exercise prescriptions that achieve results while managing fatigue and recovery.
