This course focuses on responses and its mechanisms in skeletal muscle after various stimulations (exercise, aging).
Students will be able to explain the significance of the adaptation of skeletal muscle and this age-related changes (sarcopenia)
skeletal muscle, physiology, biochemistry, aging
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
The class is mainly lecture, while students measure their own circulation in non-invasive manner and analyze the data in some classes.
Attendance is taken in every class.
Course schedule | Required learning | |

Class 6 | Sarcopenia and its attenuating approaches | Explain the molecular mechanism and the atenuating approaches of sarcopenia |
Class 7 | Discussion on the report and summay | Have presentation on own report and discuss. |
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
None
Some books are recommended during class.
Students' course scores are based on quiz (30%), report (40%) and commitment to discussion (30)
No prerequisites are necessary, but enrollment in the Graduate Lecture in Education, Welfare and Health S1 is desirable.
