Extreme Exercise Physiology 15 credits
About the course
The course covers physiological adaptations to high physical demands in sports and exercise. It also examines the effects of exposure and physical exertion in extreme environments, particularly in Arctic conditions. Topics include physiological adaptations in the cardiorespiratory system, nervous system, immune system, musculature, and energy metabolism. The consequences of exposure to extreme environmental factors (e.g., cold, heat, high altitude, wind, and water) and prolonged physical exertion, such as ultradistance events, are discussed, including the impact of age, gender, and nutritional status.
