Course Description
This course will provide the skills and knowledge for a range of accreditation standards required by Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA).
It will present an introduction to exercise physiology through the topics of: the metabolic power systems; the process of muscle contraction; the responses of the body to bouts of aerobic exercise and the adaptations of the body to aerobic exercise training; the physiological aspects of strength and anaerobic power, and adaptations related to strength and anaerobic power training. It will also consider the limitations to exercise performance for different individuals, including the impact of ageing.
