Part I : Physiology of physical effort

1. General introduction; neuromuscular adaptations to strength training. 2. Bases energy of muscular exercise. 3. Hormonal regulations in the exercise. 4. Metabolic adaptations to training. 5. Cardio-respiratory function and exercise. 6. Effects of training on cardiorespiratory adaptation to exercise. 7. Responses to resistance training. 8. Physiological basis of overtraining. 9. Immunology of the effort. 10. Environmental influences on performance. 11. The different components of fatigue. 12. Physiology applied to the study of sports.

Part II : Special biochemistry of physical effort

The eight chapters of this lecture are: 1. Biochemistry of sport and exercise 2. Energy release from nutrients 3. Methods and technics of energy metabolism study during exercise. 4. Energy transfer during exercise. 5. Energy expenditure during rest or exercise. 6. Energy expenditure during walking, running and swimming.7. Measurement of individual energy capacity 8. Best nutrition before exercise.

Learning outcomes of the course :  
Part I : Physiology of physical effort

The course of physical exercise physiology proposes to provide the basis for understanding the human active (physical activity and sport, recreational activity or professional), they assume prior knowledge of general human physiology. In terms of physical activity, maintaining health is to respect the physiology. So knowing all the mechanisms of regulation and adaptation of the major functions of the human body but also their limitations. Describe the basics of sports physiology implies some inroads in the field of pathology.

Part II : Special biochemistry of physical effort

1. Being able to integrate various informations from energy biochemistry and from exercise physiology.
2. Being able to explain the several pathways of energy release in a muscular cell at rest or during maximal exercise. 3. To understand methods to study energy metabolism. To known the various methods, their advantages and their disadvantages. 4. To be able to advice an occasional or confirmed athlete on various aspect of nutrition at rest, during recovery, during training periods or before an exercise.

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Part I : Physiology of physical effort

Of course: general background knowledge of human physiology.

Part II : Special biochemistry of physical effort

Chemistry, Biology, Histology, General and Human Biochemistry and Physiology.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
Part I : Physiology of physical effort

The theoretical course comprises 10-12 sessions of 1h.30. A pdf version of the slides proposed during lectures is posted on the website myUlg. When a practical course is proposed, students must attend to the sessions. Their presence is controlled at the beginning of each lessons.

Part II : Special biochemistry of physical effort

No laboratory works
