Instructor (s)Suleyman BULUT, PhD 
Course objectiveThe aim of this course is to examine the human body composition and its acute or chronic changes that occur in the context of exercise and nutritional metabolism. 
Learning outcomes
  1. Can interpret human body composition biology.
  2. Understand body weight body composition relationship.
  3. Can establish the connection between nutritional intake and exercise and body composition.
  4. Interpret the adipose tissue, nutrition and exercise interactions.
  5. Interprets muscle tissue, nutrition and exercise interactions.
  6. Learn the effects of obesity on body composition.
Course ContentWithin the scope of this course, the development and change of human body composition in different periods will be discussed depending on exercise and nutrition metabolism. In addition, current information on adipose and muscle tissue exercise-nutrition relationship will be explained. The relationship between obesity and body composition will be discussed as well.
