Introduction to Sports Physiology Science | Grades 9–12 | Elective
What happens inside the body when you push it to its limits? Introduction to Sports Physiology explores the science of human performance, examining how the body responds and adapts to exercise — with a particular focus on resistance training as a vehicle for understanding physical fitness. Students investigate the mechanics of muscle function, the metabolic and physiological demands of different training methods, and the measurable dimensions of athletic performance. Rather than offering generic fitness instruction, the course asks students to apply what they learn directly to their own athletic lives: each student develops an individualized training plan grounded in the specific demands of their sport and their current fitness needs. Through readings, presentations, and knowledge assessments, students build the scientific vocabulary and analytical framework to understand their bodies as athletes and to make informed, evidence- based decisions about how they train.
