Understanding Movement: Exercise Physiology
Energy Systems and Cardiorespiratory Response
to Training
$150 + HST
Description:
This course is part of our Understanding Movement series. Physiology is a branch of biology relating to the function of organs and organ systems, how they work and respond to stimuli. Exercise physiology is the physiology of physical exercise. This course focuses on the acute responses and chronic adaptation of the energy systems and the cardiorespiratory system to exercise.
The purpose of this course is to introduce Manual Therapists, Kinesiologists, and Personal Trainers to the biochemistry of the human body associated with exercise. The aim to assist the healthcare professional to obtain a clearer understanding of movement and exericse, a tool often prescribed or used as therapeutic intervention with patients.

Great review of energy systems and exercise adaptation. I will be going back to school next year and this course has refreshed my memory and allowed me to get on track for studying.
