Understanding metabolism the 3 systems of energy production and how they are turned on w/ the onset of exercise. Understanding the lungs how do they expand, inflate and expel air what are the muscles involved in that process how can the respiratory system adapt to training. There are a lot of good health reasons why to understand exercise physiology and we must learn this material at a level that is above the population (above the average person) We are here to learn about exercise physiology to teach people in the general public about why exercise is good for you (must educate the public competently)
