Anatomy & Physiology

An insight into the human body and how the anatomical and physiological systems adapt to exercise

What you'll learn
Gain an understanding of key physiological systems of the body
Learn how the systems work independently as well as part of the holistic body
Identify the key structures of the human body and how they work
Answer some key questions about the various systems of the human body
Requirements
No experience needed. Just a passion for the human body and how it works!
Description
In this course we are excited to share some fascinating insights into the various anatomical and physiological structures and systems of the human body. We discuss the Cardiovascular structures, Respiratory system, Energy pathways, the Nervous system, skeletal structures and much more!An understanding of how these systems not only work as standalone entities, but how they also interact with each other is useful when you are seeking to gain a deeper understanding.This course is really useful for those who are studying to become fitness professionals, those who already are qualified in the fitness field, and also those people who simply want to learn more about how the body works.We have tried as hard as we can to make a complex topic easy to understand, and fun to learn!You will be guided through the content by Stu, a fitness professional from the UK who has worked in lots of different areas of the fitness industry. Each topic of study features a video lecture as well asa downloadable PDF to help in your learning. At the end of each topic you will have a short multiple-choice quiz to complete.Have a fantastic time learning all about the structures and functions of these fascinating systems of the human body.
