About the course
Course content
The course provides an introduction of the basic physiological processes and regulatory mechanisms involved in metabolism, circulation, respiration, and muscle work and related to physical activity and exercise. In addition to the lectures, assignments and demonstrations (such as measurement and evaluation of physiological responses during physical activity) both individually and in groups, will be used to illustrate the theoretical perspectives.
