INTRODUCTION
 
This module is designed to help you understand the anatomy and physiology related to exercise and health. It is important that you learn how the body reacts to exercise and how physical activity is linked to the different risk factors of cardiovascular disease, as it is the core of the knowledge on which exercise prescription will be based.
 
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 

THE LEARNER WILL BE ABLE TO:

  • Have a basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system.
  • Understand the central and peripheral adaptations to exercise.
  • Understand the beneficial relationship of exercise to cardiovascular risk factors.
