Course Objective

With the professionalization of sports, an approach that pushes the limits of athletic performance is increasing. Athletes are helped to push their potential with materials and training technology and nutritional support. However, human performance has its limits. But what are these limits and mechanisms Can it be explained by the physiological mechanisms of the fatigue phenomenon and its effect on skeletal muscle This course will examine current scientific research to understand the limits of athletic performance based on exercise physiology.
