LFYS1000 Acute physiological responses and chronic adaptations to physical training (5 cr)

• Musculoskeletal system responses and adaptations

• Cardiorespiratory responses and adaptations

• Metabolic responses and adaptations

• Neuromuscular responses and adaptations

• Hormonal and immunological responses and adaptations

• Recovery form training

• Over-reaching and over-training

Upon completion of the course, the student is able to:

• demonstrate a deep understanding of acute and chronic responses to physical training

• describe mechanisms contributing to training-induced adaptations

• criticially read topic-specific literature

• apply their learning to practice in various relevant fields
