• Identify the structure of and describe the function of skeletal muscle and to describe how muscle contraction is dependent on the structure and functioning of the nervous system.
• Explain how the cardiovascular and respiratory systems function to provide oxygen and nutrients for the activation of muscle cells (muscle contraction).
• Identify and explain the acute responses and chronic adaptations that occur in the neuromuscular, metabolic and cardiorespiratory systems due to physical exercise training.
• Identify the various energy systems that allow for muscle contraction (action) to do work and the roles that the various hormones of the body play in metabolism.
