Athletic Training Physiology

Course Description: Familiarity with specialized knowledge and recognition of the functions of different body systems and their roles. It covers the normal and balanced growth of various body systems. It addresses essential information about the response and adaptation of the human body systems to physical exertion and training under normal conditions and different environmental circumstances. Students will gain knowledge of the physiological changes associated with sports practice. It covers the physiological limits of physical performance and sports training. Recognition of fundamental principles in energy production systems is also included. Familiarity with some tests and measurements of exercise physiology in physical education and athletic training will be provided.

Credit hours: 3
