Examine the physiological adjustments that occur in response to both a single bout of exercise and the adaptations that occur if a person exercises regularly and how these can improve fitness and reduce disease risk.
Learn what should be done to ensure someone is safe to exercise before they start a program. Study the principles involved in designing appropriate exercise programs to improve health and fitness, and the principles related to testing people to see if they are improving. Discover how the responses and adaptations that occur during exercise differ across the lifespan, between males and females, and when people exercise in extreme environments, such as at altitude, or in very hot or cold conditions.
