Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
-understand exercise-induced biological adaptations and underlying biological mechanisms to maximize human performance
-recognize the synthetic analysis and interdisciplinary approach of exercise biology
-highlight the dialectical relationship between the biological sciences of exercise (molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, physiology, nutrition, statistics)
-develop a critical attitude towards current issues of exercise biology, for example the limits of biological information derived from blood tests
-design/evaluate studies, measurements and experimental protocols to address research questions and hypotheses in the exercise biological sciences
