| Goals | To enable students to comprehend the principles of physiological stress caused by different environmental conditions and the responses given in terms of adaptation to it |
| Course Content | The effect of different environmental conditions (temperature, cold weather, high altitude and hypoxia) on human physiology and exercise is the general scope of the course. |
| Learning Outcomes |
- The student makes the definition of different environmental conditions - The student understands physiological stress and responses to different environmental conditions - Explains the precautions to be taken during exercise in different environmental conditions - Discusses the adaptation responses activated in the adaptation process under different environmental conditions - Explains the effect of different environmental conditions on performance |
