OXYGENATION AND EXERCISE
BIO3OAE
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject examines the control and molecular mechanisms of muscle systems (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) with respect to normal function in terms of growth, development, maturation and exercise-induced changes. Alterations in muscle structure and function after injury or associated with disease will also be explored. The role of blood in providing oxygen and nutrients to muscle systems and how carbon dioxide and other waste products are removed from the blood will also be studied. Material covered in this unit provides a strong foundation for further study in areas such as exercise training, fitness, rehabilitation and research activities involved in muscular diseases.
