This online course consists of the following units and learning objectives:
|
Unit 1 -- Introduction
|
|
Learning Objectives
|
|
|
Recognize the basic concepts of specificity of training, acute responses versus
training adaptations, and reversibility of training adaptations.
|
|
|
Apply these concepts to prescribing exercise/physical activity for fitness, health, and sport-specific goals.
|
|
|
|
|
Unit 2 -- Energy Systems
|
|
Learning Objectives
|
|
|
Recognize when different substrates and energy systems are used to
produce ATP
during exercise.
|
|
|
Indicate the role of metabolic factors in causing fatigue during exercise.
|
|
|
Explain energy systems' training adaptations.
|
|
|
|
|
Unit 3 -- Neuromuscular System
|
|
Learning Objectives
|
|
|
Recognize different metabolic, structural, and physiological properties
of the three human skeletal muscle fiber types and how differences relate to exercise capacity.
|
|
|
Describe various factors influencing muscular strength and the causes of neuromuscular
fatigue during exercise.
|
|
|
Indicate the causes of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
|
|
|
|
|
Unit 4 -- Neuromuscular System Adaptations
|
|
Learning Objectives
|
|
|
Explain the metabolic and structural adaptations of the neuromuscular system to strength and other forms of
high-intensity training.
|
|
|
Recognize the differences between muscular strength, endurance, and power, and use this knowledge to identify
appropriate tests of muscular fitness.
|
|
|
Apply these principles to prescribing resistance training for various fitness, sport, and health-related needs.
|
|
|
|
|
Unit 5 -- Cardiorespiratory System
|
|
Learning Objectives
|
|
|
Explain O2 uptake during exercise
of varying intensity and mode.
|
|
|
Describe the circulatory and respiratory responses during and after exercise.
|
|
|
Recognize the cardiorespiratory limitations to exercise capacity and performance.
|
|
|
|
|
Unit 6 -- Cardiorespiratory System Adaptations
|
|
Learning Objectives
|
|
|
Recognize that training adaptations are specific to exercise mode, intensity, and duration.
|
|
|
Explain cardiorespiratory system structural and physiological adaptations to endurance exercise training.
|
|
|
Apply these principles to prescribing exercise for enhancing sport performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, and
health.
