Course Objectives:	The aim of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of cell physiology, signal transmission, energy systems, energy sources in different types of exercise, and the regulation of metabolism. It also covers skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise, neural control of movement, and the acute and chronic responses of the endocrine system to exercise, supported by up-to-date literature.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
Can define the structure and functions of the cell.
Can describe the cell signaling pathways.
Can explain biochemical energy systems, regulation of metabolism, energy sources in different exercises, factors affecting fuel selection, and the relationships between them.
Can define the macro and microstructure, functions, sliding filament theory, and stages of muscle contraction in skeletal muscle.
Can discuss the relationship between the main biochemical and mechanical properties of skeletal muscle, muscle fiber type, and sports performance.
Can explain the fundamentals of skeletal muscle adaptations to training.
Can explain the neural and hormonal control of metabolism.
Can explain the hormonal responses to acute and chronic exercise.

Course Content

This course covers cell physiology, signal transmission, energy systems, energy sources in different types of exercise, and the regulation of metabolism; skeletal muscle and its adaptations to exercise; neural control of movement; and the acute and chronic responses of the endocrine system to exercise.
