Exercise Physiology for Coaches and Athletes

The human body undergoes MASSIVE changes in response to acute and chronic exercise training. Understanding HOW the body responds gives us the ability to understand WHY exercise training is so important and WHAT we can do to maximize adaptations.

This course will teach you just that! I am looking for AT LEAST 15 interested Coaches and Athletes to attend this 6 week course (live zoom classes once per week for 2 hours), starting the first week of July.

Exercise Physiology Tailored to YOU!

I love exercise physiology! And every coach and athlete who wants to start to optimize their training should have a deeper understanding of what happens to our body when we exercise acutely and when we train. Over the past 4 years I have taught over 300+ university students college level exercise physiology. Now I want to bring that learning environment to you!

One of the major differences between this course and a university course is that this course takes classic university exercise physiology but tailors it directly to endurance coaches and athletes with one of the main goals being teaching you how to TRANSLATE everything you learn directly to your coaching or training approach.

This course synthesizes everything I learned from my education and teaching experience and presents the theoretical AND applied physiological knowledge that will help you understand how the body responds to an acute training session and chronic endurance training!

Learning Objectives!

Objective #1
Acute stress response to endurance exercise.

Upon completion of this course you will be able to detail the various physiological responses the body undergoes in response to an ACUTE endurance training session.

Objective #2
Chronic adaptations to endurance training.

You will also be able to describe how your physiological systems adapt to CHRONIC (continued) endurance training, and what interventions favor distinct adaptations.

Objective #3
Translating your learning to coaching and training.

Finally, through various assignments completed during the course you will be able to describe the various physiological responses and adaptations within the context of YOUR SPORT!

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED LIVE LECTURES - This course was recorded live over 6-weeks, if you missed out on the live lectures, that is not a big deal, you can watch ALL of the lectures, see all of the slides, read all the articles, and engage in all of the assignments!

Google Classroom – The course is hosted on Google Classroom (link sent after you enroll). Each week’s lecture was recorded and posted on the google classroom site so you can review as needed.

The google classroom acts as a forum to ask question, turn in assignments (all of them are optional but will greatly help your ability to talk about these topics) and communicate with me. This is also where I make announcements and communicate with the class.
