PHY3072: Exercise physiology and metabolism - Semester Notes

Description

These notes were compiled by a small group of authors. Created by a small group of learners and authors, the notes have been further edited to accommodate for different kinds of learners from day 1, mid-semester exams and SWOTVAC, to help with study and training. The notes contain comprehensive summaries and explanations for each lecture to assist with understanding and revision. With due diligence, the use of these notes will almost guarantee a HD. Authors attained a HD grade and the utilisation of these notes aided our study significantly. Topics Covered: Lecture 1: Introduction to exercise physiology Lecture 2: Introduction to Exercise Metabolism Lecture 3: Muscle Activation, fatigue and fiber types Lecture 4: Mechanisms of Muscle Damage and Adaptation Lecture 5: Metabolism & Muscle Biochemistry 1: Carbohydrate Metabolism Lecture 6: Metabolism & Muscle Biochemistry 2: Lipid Metabolism Lecture 7: Exercise, hormones and metabolism Lecture 8: Inter‐tissue communication: 'metabolic cross‐talk' Lecture 9: Molecular adaptions to exercise training Lecture 10: Molecular adaptations to exercise 2 Lecture 11: Optimal nutrition for training for exercise Lecture 12: Exercise and metabolic disease Lecture 13: Pulmonary responses to exercise - limits to human performance Lecture 14: Pulmonary responses to exercise - limitation of lung disease Lecture 15: CVS responses to exercise Lecture 16: CVS and renal responses to exercise Lecture 17: CVS disease and exercise Lecture 18: Doping and athletic performance Lecture 19: Exercise in extreme environments - temperature and heat adaptation Lecture 20: Exercise in extreme environments - altitude and hypoxia training Lecture 21: Exercise-induced GI syndrome
