Course Description

Learners who complete Science of Exercise will have an improved physiological understanding of how your body responds to exercise, and will be able to identify behaviors, choices, and environments that impact your health and training. You will explore a number of significant adjustments required by your body in order to properly respond to the physical stress of exercise, including changes in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, nutritional considerations, causes of muscle soreness & fatigue, and the effectiveness and dangers of performance enhancing drugs. Active learning assessments will challenge you to apply this new knowledge via nutrition logs, heart rate monitoring, calculations of your total daily caloric expenditure and body mass index (BMI). Finally, learners will examine the scientific evidence for the health benefits of exercise including the prevention and treatment of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity (weight loss), depression, and dementia.

I really enjoyed the course on the Science of Exercise - https://www.coursera.org/learn/science-exercise.

I always wondered if there was a comprehensive way to understand how different fitness regimes and diets actually help or don't help. This course was amazing and helped my understand the fundamentals. A bit technical - goes into the basics of biology, but even without that information, this was a great course. The instructor is Dr. Robert S. Mazzeo, who has been studying, researching and teaching in the field of exercise science for over 40 years.

I have actually applied several of the principles in my workout regime and started to see the effects over the last few months. I highly recommend this one.

Not sure if I'll follow through on this but this was a great recommendation as I had no clue of its existence. Thank you very much for taking the time to recommend this and exercise science is a budding interest for me.
