Highly recommend to learn foundation of exercise physiology
Wow. Great read! Well structured content builds up your understanding of the relevant physiological processes, then covers in detail the changes that accompany exercise in the body. Information is well cited, with example studies, and it's clearly pointed out when research has been inconclusive on a point.

KPE264: Exercise Physiology
Learned about bioenergetics, non-oxidative and oxidative metabolism during exercise, respiratory and cardiovascular function in exercise and cardiorespiratory integration and adaptations to exercise.
