Endurance Training & Exercise Science

Connect muscle fibers, biomechanics, energy systems, heart rate, VO2 max, and resistance-training variables into one exercise-science framework.

Understand ATP and the major energy pathways that support explosive power, high-intensity exercise, endurance, and recovery.

Learn how resting heart rate, maximum heart rate, heart-rate reserve, and training zones can help organize recovery, endurance, tempo, and high-intensity workouts.

Learn how ATP powers muscle contraction and how the phosphagen, glycolytic, and oxidative pathways overlap to meet changing exercise demands.

Learn what VO2 max measures, how oxygen intake, transport, and utilization work together, and how aerobic-power training can improve performance.
