CourseDetails
• Advanced Exercise Physiology: Understanding the acute and chronic responses to exercise on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscular systems. This unit will delve into the underlying mechanisms and adaptations that occur with regular physical activity.
• Cognitive Function and Exercise: Examining the relationship between exercise and cognitive function, including the impact of acute and chronic exercise on brain structure, function, and cognition. This unit will also explore the potential mechanisms underlying these effects.
• Neurophysiology of Exercise: Investigating the neural control of movement during exercise, including the role of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This unit will also cover the effects of fatigue on neural function and the potential implications for exercise performance.
• Exercise Prescription for Cognitive Function: Learning how to design and implement safe and effective exercise programs to improve cognitive function in healthy and clinical populations. This unit will cover the latest evidence-based recommendations and guidelines for exercise prescription.
• Exercise and Brain Plasticity: Exploring the concept of brain plasticity, or the ability of the brain to change and adapt in response to experience. This unit will examine the effects of exercise on brain plasticity, including the potential for exercise to promote neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and improve cognitive function.
• Exercise and Mental Health: Examining the relationship between exercise and mental health, including the impact of exercise on mood, anxiety, and stress. This unit will also cover the potential mechanisms underlying these effects and the role of exercise in the prevention and treatment of mental health disorders.
• Exercise and Neurodegenerative Disorders: Investigating the role of exercise in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. This unit will cover the latest research and evidence-based recommendations for exercise in these populations.
• Exercise and Cognitive Impairment: Examining the impact of exercise on cognitive impairment, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. This unit will cover the latest research and evidence-based recommendations for exercise in these populations.
