Understanding skeletal muscle to enhance exercise program designDescription
At the end of this course you will have a greater understanding of the structure and function of skeletal muscles. Particular attention will be paid to using this knowledge to create of better evidence based exercise programs to enhance performance and fitness. This course is for anyone looking to design better programs for themselves, clients or athletes. We will consider topics such as the sliding filament model of muscle contraction, muscle energy systems and muscle fiber types and examine how exercise can improve these aspects of muscle anatomy and physiology.
