Exercise adaptations
Acute and chronic adaptations across neuromuscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
Sports physiology
Sports Physiology - Level 1
A three-day introduction to exercise and sports physiology for professionals who need to understand adaptation, testing, fatigue, recovery and performance data.
Course snapshot
Overview
Understand how the body responds to exercise and performance demands
Sports Physiology - Level 1 gives healthcare and sport professionals a practical foundation in the physiological systems that shape training, recovery and performance.
Case studies and practical testing sessions connect theory to clinical and sporting scenarios, including exercise prescription and interpretation of physiological data.
Curriculum
What the course covers
Bioenergetics and fatigue
Energy systems, fatigue mechanisms, recovery principles and performance-limiting factors.
Testing and exercise prescription
Physiological testing, performance-data interpretation and individualized exercise recommendations.
