ADVANCED EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY

EXS3AEP

2021

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject you will investigate the influence of individual variation, environmental stress, nutritional supplementation and ergogenic aids on exercise training, performance and recovery. You will evaluate normal and abnormal, acute and chronic responses to exercise, with reference to individual determinants of the participant and environmental stress. In addition, you will evaluate nutritional interventions and ergogenic aids to enhance physiological adaptation, exercise capacity and performance.
