Student Learning Outcomes Describe the processes of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and how these processes support physical activity.
Describe muscle anatomy and physiology as it relates to muscle contraction and function.
Describe the body’s acute responses and long-term adaptations to cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training in varying environmental conditions.
Distinguish between fatigue, soreness, and overtraining and identify their effect on physical performance.
Describe cardiovascular and respiratory system anatomy and physiology as it relates to cardiorespiratory fitness.
Evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various nutritional strategies and ergogenic aids as they relate to fitness and physical performance.
