Syllabus: | Major functions of the muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems and their interaction in human physical performance. Particular emphasis will be focused on the function of the neuromusculolocomotor system during exercise and after training. Application of the principles of exercise physiology and rehabilitation assessment of the injured athlete. |
