2. Describe the functioning of fundamental energy systems andunderstand their relative contribution as a function of the characteristics of physical exercise.
3. Understand and explain the processes of acute and chronic adaptation to different types of physical exercise.
4. Describe and interpret the structure and function of the neuromuscular system, as well as its acute and chronic physiological changes resulting from physical exertion.
5. Understand the role of the hormonal system in regulating metabolism during exercise and its effect on acute and chronic adaptations to exercise.
