Title
Muscle Soreness, Damage, and Repair
Learning Outcome
Be able to provide a detailed explanation of causes, concepts and theories associated with muscle soreness, damage and repair.
Title
Excitation-Contraction Coupling Process
Learning Outcome
Be able to explain the excitation-contraction coupling process.
Title
Muscle Anatomy and Structure
Learning Outcome
Understand muscle anatomy and structure from a cellular to whole-muscle level and relate these characteristics to whole-muscle function.
Title
Muscle Contraction
Learning Outcome
Understand the history, theory and mechanisms of muscle contraction at the level of the sarcomere, and how variations in contractile proteins may influence this process.
Title
Muscle Adaptation
Learning Outcome
Describe the whole-muscle adaptations that occur in response to mechanical overload and the cellular mechanisms that account for these adaptations.
Title
Muscle Inactivity and Unloading
Learning Outcome
Describe the whole-muscle adaptations that occur in response to inactivity and unloading and the cellular mechanisms that account for these adaptations.
