Exercise Metabolism

Critically evaluate the regulatory steps in the metabolic control of carbohydrate, lipid and amino acid metabolism.

Critically evaluate the regulatory mechanisms underpinning energy production during endurance, high-intensity (intermittent) and resistance exercise, and the influence of training and nutritional status on modulating these responses and preventing fatigue.

Critically evaluate the molecular mechanisms underpinning muscle adaptation to endurance and resistance exercise training
