Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Molecular exercise physiology is an important new sub-field in sports science and especially in sports and exercise physiology. Spurway & Wackerhage (2006) define the topic as followed: "Molecular exercise physiology is the study of genetics and signal transduction in relation to exercise. Molecular exercise physiologists aim to identify the genetic determinants of human performance on a molecular level and characterize the mechanisms responsible for the adaptation of cells and organs to exercise."

Within this Research Seminar we will treat the following topics:
-) Mechanisms of adaptation to training and exercise
-) Skeletal muscle atrophy and hypertrophy
-) Immunology and Exercise
-) Nutrition and Exercise
-) Basic molecular and cellular biology techniques

Basic knowledge in sports and exercise physiology as well as basic ability to read English texts is regarded to be a pre-requisite.

Assessment and permitted materials

There is a continuous assessment of course work including writing short essays about selected topics, giving an oral presentation, taking part in the discussions, and writing a final seminar work.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In order to follow the rapid developments in this discipline, it is important to know about the basic molecular and cell biological techniques such as Western blotting, PCR, ELISA, ... and their applications in the field of sports sciences. This seminar aims to provide basic knowledge which can be extended during the research practicum or the diploma thesis.

Examination topics

A reader containing basic literature according to the single topics will be provided. The reading of these articles is mandatory. The students will work on these topics together with the lecturer during the lessons by summarizing and discussing the articles. Finally, a practical lesson will take place in the Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory (USZ1, ground floor).
