Modules in Physical Education - Fitness Training Principles and Methods
On completion of this course you will have a good understanding of muscle architecture and muscle groups such as the motor unit, muscular force, muscle fibres, joint actions, microsopic muscle structure, muscle contractions and much more. This will be extremely beneficial for involvement in fitness activities.You will gain a knowledge of your heart rate and ATP-PC, lactic acid and aerobic energy systems. You will know all about food conversion for energy which is so important to understand for effective training. This course will teach you the four training principles: overload, specificity, reversibility and individual differences. You will have a great understanding of the importance of maximum volume of oxygen consumed by the body, acute responses, fatigue, recovery and glycogen restoration.

Course Module: Basic muscle physiology
Course Topic: The motor unit
Comment: For example- your rectus femoris(one of the 4 quadriceps muscle) might contain 1million muscle fibre controlled motor nerve. so, on average each motor until will consit entirely of either slow twich or fast or fast twich. the compoistion of slow and fast motor units.
