Course Title
PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTION AND NUTRITION IN STRENGTH
AND CONDITIONING
Credit 3
Course Learning At the end this course, students are able to:
Outcomes
1. Relate the function of the physiological system and nutrition to
strength training and conditioning.
2. Explain the physiological response and adaptation to strength
training and conditioning
3. Explain the energy requirement and nutritional strategies in
strength training and conditioning.
Synopsis This course will focus on the physiological system and nutrition on
strength training and conditioning. This involves various
physiological responses and adaptation to different phases of
training. Nutrition required for strength and conditioning will also be
discussed. In addition, other issues related to physiological systems
and nutrition concerning strength training and conditioning will also
be addressed in this course.
