Introduction
Exercise physiology has its origins in the fundamental disciplines of anatomy and physiology, which investigate the structure and function of the human body. Studying the specific challenges to the body’s interrelated systems as experienced through the stress of an acute bout of exercise and because of chronic physical training are the central principles of exercise physiology.

The Skeletal System
The skeletal system is the foundation on which all our movement is based. Knowledge of its structure and function will, therefore, allow a greater understanding of exercise programming and prescription.
This presentation will address the following areas:
• The physiology of bone tissue
• The classification and structure of bones
• The anatomy of the skeleton
• The vertebral column
