FSS 234 - Fundamentals of Exercise Science

1. Identify major muscle structures and how they adapt to exercise.
2. Explain how the body metabolizes nutrients to fuel exercise at various intensities.
3. Explain how the different body systems (e.g., cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic) adapt to training.
4. Identify essential hormones of the endocrine system and discuss their role in regulating physiological processes that accompany exercise.
