Course #: EHS 783
Description:
The main objective of this course is to provide an in-depth understanding of skeletal muscle structure and function and neural control of muscle contraction. Special emphasis will be focused on the effects of obesity and its relationship with metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes) and cancer on neural and muscular function and adaptations to exercise training. This course will provide a basis for in-class discussions regarding neuromuscular adaptations. to endurance training and resistance training , disuse, sarcopenic obesity, cancer-related muscle loss, and muscle injury.
