Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is; to introduce the muscle cell, to understand the muscle contraction process, muscle fibril types and the changes that will occur according to the type of exercise, to comprehend the contraction types and their relationship with exercise, energy production ways, energy production in exercise and recovery process, circulatory system, respiratory system, blood, hormones to learn the changes in chronic exercise.

Course Content

Muscle physiology and functioning during exercise, ATP production pathways in exercise and recovery, circulatory system, respiratory system, blood system, hormonal system and exercise related changes.
