Learning outcomes

The lectures will present selected topics of integrative physiology applied to exercise and sports. By focusing on specific aspects of human physiology and a quantitative approach the course aims at fostering the understanding of the control mechanisms, the integrated function of organs and systems towards the maintenance of the body homeostasis. The course will focus on the acute responses to exercise and the adaptive responses to training.

Program

• Introduction to exercise physiology: concept of homeostasis, interpretation of graphs, concept of threshold and sensitivity / gain, concept of steady state
• Characterization of the ventilatory response, integrated ventilation control, VO2max concept, notes on measurement methods
• Integrated pH control; Bicarbonate
• Acute cardiovascular responses to different types of exercise
• Adaptive acute cardiovascular responses to different types of exercise
• Cardiorespiratory fitness indexes: definitions, measurement methods, use for monitoring and exercise prescription
• Quantification of workloads, equivalent load concept
• Temperature control
