课程简介

课程名称:运动科学 课程概述:完成《运动科学》课程的学习者将深入了解身体对运动的生理反应,并能够识别影响健康和训练的行为、选择和环境。课程将探讨身体为适应运动带来的生理调整,包括碳水化合物、脂肪和蛋白质的代谢变化、营养考量、肌肉酸痛与疲劳的原因,以及增强运动表现药物的有效性和危害。通过营养日志、心率监测、每日总热量消耗及身体质量指数(BMI)的计算等实践评估,学习者将应用所学知识。最后,课程将考察运动对健康的科学证据,包括预防和治疗心脏病、糖尿病、癌症、肥胖(减肥)、抑郁症和痴呆症的益处。 课程大纲: 1. **运动能量学**:学习肌肉在运动中所需的能量的多种代谢途径(碳水化合物、脂肪和蛋白质),以及这些途径的调节方式、评估特定燃料使用程度的方法和代谢率的总体估计。 2. **运动期间的生理系统**:了解运动期间如何调节肌肉、呼吸、心血管、内分泌和免疫系统,以维持体内平衡,这是持续运动所必需的。包括呼吸系统如何确保氧气供应和二氧化碳排除,心血管系统如何保证对各个器官的充足血流,内分泌系统在运动中的生化和生理反应调节中所起的关键作用,以及运动对免疫系统和抵抗感染能力的影响。 3. **运动与健身及表现**:掌握优化耐力和力量适应性的训练指导方针,以及耐力和力量训练所需的重要营养需求,解释肌肉酸痛和疲劳的原因,探讨增强运动表现药物的有效性及其作用机制。 4. **运动在健康、福利与疾病中的作用**:研究运动作为药物在预防和治疗各种疾病中的作用,包括饮食和运动在控制体重中的贡献(预防和治疗肥胖)及参与定期运动的健康益处,涉及心脏病、糖尿病和癌症的主要风险因素,并讨论运动对健康衰老和脑功能的益处。

课程大纲

Name:The Energetics of Exercise

Description:In this module you will learn about the various metabolic pathways (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) that are activated in order to supply the necessary energy required for the mechanical work of skeletal muscles during exercise. How these pathways are regulated, the methods for assessing the extent to which specific fuels are being utilized and the overall estimation of your metabolic rate will be addressed. Additionally, the importance of the chemical energy stored in ATP and its requirement for muscular work will be discussed.

Name:Physiological Systems During Exercise

Description:In this module you will learn how a number of key physiological systems (muscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine and immune systems) are regulated during exercise to help maintain homeostasis. These adjustments are critical for exercise to continue for any significant duration. This will include: how the respiratory system adjusts during exercise to ensure proper oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal from active muscles; how the cardiovascular system responds to ensure adequate blood flow to various organs, including muscle, during exercise; how the endocrine system plays a major role in regulating key biochemical and physiological responses to exercise and; how exercise influences the immune system and your ability to fight infections.

Name:Exercise for Fitness & Performance

Description:This module will teach you about the training guidelines needed to optimize your endurance and strength adaptations associated with a regular exercise program. Important nutritional requirements for both endurance and strength training will be addressed. The causes of both muscle soreness and fatigue will be explained. Finally, the effectiveness and mechanisms whereby performance enhancing drugs exert their effect will be covered.

Name:Exercise in Health, Wellness and Disease

Description:In this module you will learn about the role of exercise as medicine in both the prevention and treatment of various diseases. This will include: the contribution of diet and exercise in weight control including the prevention and treatment of obesity; the many health benefits from participation in a regular exercise program related to major risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and cancer will be addressed. Finally, the benefits of exercise associated with healthy aging and brain function will be discussed.

课程详情

Learners who complete Science of Exercise will have an improved physiological understanding of how your body responds to exercise, and will be able to identify behaviors, choices, and environments that impact your health and training. You will explore a number of significant adjustments required by your body in order to properly respond to the physical stress of exercise, including changes in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, nutritional considerations, causes of muscle soreness & fatigue, and the effectiveness and dangers of performance enhancing drugs. Active learning assessments will challenge you to apply this new knowledge via nutrition logs, heart rate monitoring, calculations of your total daily caloric expenditure and body mass index (BMI). Finally, learners will examine the scientific evidence for the health benefits of exercise including the prevention and treatment of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity (weight loss), depression, and dementia.
