Aim and content The purpose of the PhD course is to present and discuss the most recent research in the area of basal regulation of blood flow and angiogenesis in skeletal muscle and the role of lifestyle related disease and physical training. The course will cover: - Anatomy and function of the microcirculation - Control of blood flow and vascular function in skeletal muscle - Regulation of angiogenesis in skeletal muscle - The effect of lifestyle related disease and aging on angiogenesis and vascular function - The effect of physical training on angiogenesis and vascular function The final program is announced in September 2018. Questions regarding the course should be directed to Peter Piil (pep@nexs.ku.dk). Learning outcome The students are expected to obtain: - a solid insight into the latest knowledge regarding physical activity, vascular function and blood vessel growth in skeletal muscle - theoretical and practical insight into methods in cardiovascular physiology - an improved ability to critically evaluate scientific articles - an improved ability to present and discuss science Literature Research articles. Teaching and learning methods The course will be a combination of lectures, article discussion, workshops, and practical work/demonstrations sessions including data treatment, and oral student presentation of own project.
