Content
The aim of the Ph.D. course is to gain in-depth knowledge about adaptations induced by various types of training and their implications for exercise performance. The course focuses on muscle ion transport, metabolism and cardiac adaptations, and how these are influenced by training and ergogenic aids. In addition, part of the course focuses on how to improve performance of elite athletes separated in two themes within endurance athletes and intense exercise performance.

Topics:
- Influence of training and ergogenic aids on muscle ion transport, metabolism and cardiac adaptations in trained athletes
- Muscle signaling, fatigue development and implications of changes in muscle homeostasis for central and peripheral adaptations.
- Physiological testing of elite athletes and performance
- Integrative approach to understanding training physiology in the elite population
- In depth discussions of specific scientific literature and optimal study design

Learning outcome
The learning outcomes of the course are to provide the participants with a physiological understanding of adaptations to training specifically related to ion handling, metabolism and cardiac adaptations, as well as practical application of the scientific knowledge for training of the elite athlete.

Literature
Reading material and presentations will be supplied by the lecturers.
