    This is a module where the students at the end of it will be able to explain the underlying mechanisms of the physiological adaptations taking place when the human organism is exposed to extreme environments and apply the principles of exercise physiology in adverse environmental conditions. Furthermore, students will understand how the human organism adapt safely to extreme environments and perform exercise/work. Finally, they will be able to promote safe exercise and physical activity in harsh environmental conditions in order to protect the health of their colleagues when exposed to adverse environmental conditions.

They will acquire knowledge that allows for a critical view in contemporary exercise and performance psychology issues and understand how psychological principles are applied within the exercise and performance contexts. Finally, they will be able to design and implement programs to improve psychological skills
  • 614 – Nutrition and Supplements

    614 – Nutrition and Supplements

    The students after completing this course they should be able to discuss basic topics in human nutrition and how nutritional status could affect health and performance. They will also be able to describe methods used to assess nutrition status and explain how dietary recommendations are formulated and understand the quantity and quality of food available to individuals in military professionals, as well as develop an understanding of normal and therapeutic/modified diets. Finally they will be able to discuss issues related to nutritional supplements and how those could enhance human performance and survival.
