Learning outcome

Knowledge

The candidate

  • can demonstrate advanced knowledge of limitations for oxygen transport and effective training regimes for improved circulation and aerobic endurance performance

  • can thoroughly understand and describe the beneficial effects of endurance training for athletic performance, successful aging, disease treatment, disease prevention and prescribe effective training programs
  • have advanced knowledge of strength training on endurance performance in athletes and patients

Skills

The candidate

  • can apply and adopt experimental methods such as maximal oxygen uptake, lactate threshold and work economy and have practical skills relevant to perform the tests
  • can present outcomes of research in a written report, evaluate and discuss scientific results
  • can describe biological adaptations following physical activity and exercise training on the heart, arteries and skeletal muscles in our bodies both for health and performance
  • can identify and prescribe effective endurance training programs, and to study their effect in top sports performance and patient populations
