About this Course
Course Description
This course provides student with the knowledge on biochemical processes that are related to physiological functions during exercise. As such, it emphasizes understanding on the relationship between different energy systems with different types of exercise. It also highlights critical processes that are associated with exercise performance and fatigue, i.e. buffering system and antioxidants. At the end of the course, apart from the above-mentioned aspects, students will also be able to appreciate the roles of enzymes and hormones in exercise biochemistry.
Course Learning Outcomes
1 ) Understand journal articles related to enzymes, hormones, fatigue or biomarkers in the context of physical exercise
2 ) Describe the energy metabolism triggered in the context of different physical exercises.
3 ) Understand the biochemical concepts and theories underlying movement and metabolism of carbohydrate, lipid and protein in the context of physical exercise.
