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.
