Physiology of physical exertion

Course Description: This course provides an integrated study of the acute physiological responses and chronic adaptations that occur in the body as a result of engaging in physical activity in its various forms. The course focuses on understanding the cellular and systemic mechanisms that control physical performance, highlighting the impact of environmental conditions, individual differences, and the needs of special populations such as professional athletes, children, the elderly, and individuals with chronic diseases. The course integrates theoretical foundations with practical applications, utilizing the latest technologies such as wearable devices, motion analysis systems, and artificial intelligence tools for analyzing sports performance. It also covers current topics like training in extreme environments, such as training at high altitudes or in heat, and the role of personalized nutrition and the microbiome in enhancing sports performance. The course aims to develop scientific research skills in students, including experimental design and physiological data analysis, while preparing them to design innovative training programs that support public health, improve physical performance, and contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases.
