Course objectiveAim of this course is to enable student to comprehend the cell physiology, cell signaling; energy systems, substrates for different types of exercise, regulation of metabolism, factors influencing fuel selection; skeletal muscle structure, function and its adaptations to training; neural control of human movemen,; neural and hormonal control of metabolism; mechanisms of hormonal effects, hormonal adaptations to acute and chronic exercise.  
Learning outcomes
  1. 1. Explain the structure and function of eukaryotic cell
  2. 2. Explain the major cell signaling pathways
  3. 3. Discuss the biochemical pathways involved in aerobic and anaerobic ATP production; explain how metabolism is regulated; list and discuss the factors that regulate fuel selection during different types of exercise;
  4. 4. Discuss macro and micro structure of skeletal muscle and explain the functions of each part; explain the sliding filament theory and the steps leading to muscle shortening
  5. 5. Discuss the major biochemical and mechanical properties of human skeletal muscle fiber types, and discuss the relationship between muscle fiber types and performance
