CM2005 Sports and Exercise Physiology

Course Description

The course covers studies in the following thematic areas:

• metabolism,
• circulation and respiration,
• fatigue, performance and training,
• environmental physiology, nutrition, dietary supplements and oxidative stress,
• physical activity and health,
• physiological and biochemical test methodology. At the center of the course is the connection to the research situation, the use of test methods, the theory connection, and the connection between theory and practical sport. A literature study (in-depth study) within a self-chosen sports physiological area (comprising about 5 credits) is included in the course.

Intended Learning Outcomes

The student shall:

• have a thorough knowledge of the methods used in sports physiology and be able to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different test methods,
• be able to integrate and use their knowledge to handle complex sports physiological issues,
• be able to discuss different theories in the field of sports physiological problems,
• independently be able to carry out their own in-depth work within sports physiology.
