Course description and aims

Various scientific fields contribute to the development of sports performance. This course deals with basic concepts in exercise physiology and biomechanics.
Findings in biomechanics have contributed to a decrease in energy output from our body through developing efficient skills of exercise.
Findings in exercise physiology have contributed to an increase in maximal energy output from our body through efficient training.
We will look at these two fields.

Student learning outcomes

Students wirll be able to;
Explain fundamental concepts in exercise physiology and biomechanics,
Measure relatively easy indexes during exercise.
Consider and look at sports from various scientific viewpoints.
Imagine how to apply scientific findings to practical sports fields.

Keywords

Sports, exercise physiology, biomechanics, measurements

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Prof. Hayashi is in charge of classes of Tue, and Prof. Maruyama is of Fri.
Most classes are lectures. In some classes in the second half of the course students measure their physiological responses and movements.
Attendance is taken in every class.
