Course Overview

Exercise has already been found to alleviate levels of depression, stress and anxiety, as well as aid in the management of a variety of diseases; yet, only one in every four Americans meets the required levels of physical fitness. The Exercise Physiology online course examines the foundations of physiology and expands on them to create a comprehensive, scientific understanding of exercise and well-being.

Journal of Clinical Oncology states that There are seven cancers that have a demonstrated risk decrease when prescribed physical activity levels are followed. Exercise Physiology training teaches participants about exercise science and the role that regular exercise plays in reducing the aging process and enhancing overall health.

The BMJ study says that Exercise at a moderate level reduces the risk of premature death. Throughout the Exercise Physiology syllabus, students will learn how to criticize training programs and recommend modifications to different physical contexts, such as schools, workplaces and cities, in order to promote health and wellbeing.
