Scenario
You are a ‘gifted and talented’ athlete who is taking part in some training and your coach has insisted that you understand more about HOW your body works during exercise to maximise your training and ultimately your performance.
You will participate in some practical activities and look at readings to interpret what the body systems do in response to becoming active. How we physiologically change from being at rest to being active.
