Chapter 1 Structure and Function of Body Systems
Describe both the macronutrient and microstructure of muscle and bone
Describe the sliding filament theory of muscular action
Describe the specific morphological and physiological characteristics of different muscle fibers types and predict their relative involvement in different sports events
Describe the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems
Predict the cardiorespiratory responses to different type of exercise
What is the musculoskeletal system?
