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
General Competences

  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Adapt to new situations
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Generate new research ideas
  • Advance free, creative and causative thinking
