Exercise Physiology in Special Population

Synopsis

Special populations may have may different physiology which require additional attention and consideration regarding exercise. This course will cover the fundamental knowledge about exercise physiology among children, women, and aging populations.

Objective

The objective of this course is to provide essential knowledge on the physiological responses to exercise among children, women, and aging populations.

Learning Outcome

At the end of the course student will be able to:

1. Describe the physiological aspect of growth and the physiological responses to exercise among children as well as the precautions and the factors that should be taken for children during exercise.

2. Describe the effects of exercise on female and special consideration of exercise for female.

3. Describe the major age-associated changes in human physiology.

The topics will be covered in this module
- Growth and exercise
- Children's cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular responses to exercise
- Menstrual cycle
- Pregnancy
