Definition of sport and exercise physiology
• Muscle energetics and exercise physiology
• Importance of physical exercise for the immune system
• Hypertrophy, muscle hyperplasia, overcompensation and adaptation
• Definition of endurance, performance, sprint and strenght training, related adaptations induced on the organism
• Strength training: isotonic, isometric, plyometric, isokinetic muscle work
• Cardio-circulatory adaptations induced by physical exercise
• Cardio-circulatory adaptations induced by physical exercise: benefits on cardiovascular function and blood pressure control
• The trained elderly
• Cardio-circulatory adaptations induced by physical exercise in extraordinary environments: high altitude and apnea
• Cardiocirculatory adaptations induced by physical exercise: cardiac cycle, reference to the calculation of flows, definition of blood pressure and method of measurement (if lessons in the presence oranise theoretical-practical exercise)
• Sports Therapy: obesity and prescription of physical exercise, adaptations induced by physical exercise with adequate load
• Sports Therapy: diabetes mellitus and prescription of physical exercise, adaptations induced by physical exercise with adequate load
• Sports Therapy: arterial hypertension and prescription of physical exercise, adaptations induced by physical exercise with adequate load
• Importance of physical activity in developmental age
• Respiratory system and exercise physiology, exercise asthma, hints of the respiratory system and extraordinary environments
• Walking in Sport Therapy: physiological walking (hints)
• Digestion, absorption of nutrients in movement
• Anthropometric evaluations
