Functional Medicine and Nutrition Virtual Classroom 215

Course overview

Hour 1 Define and explain the different terms that identify exercise intensity and their relationship to maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max). Discuss the history of exercise physiology and how technology influenced research and ultimately, exercise guidelines. Differentiate the physiological responses to sprint interval training and to low-to-moderate intensity continuous training. Reconstruct a lay explanation to patients and/or clients of why sprint interval training is an extremely effective strategy for improving overall health and fitness. Summarize key research studies that support sprint interval training. Hour 2 Recognize additional research that supports sprint interval training. Identify key physiological benefits of sprint interval training. Recall important case study benefits. Outline effective overall strategies for implementing sprint interval training. Distinguish appropriate sprint interval exercises for differing populations.
