This course teaches a cellular and physiology-based view of exercise metabolism, using energy-sensing pathways to explain how the body adapts to training stress over time. You’ll learn how mitochondria and redox balance (helpful stress signals versus excessive oxidative damage) are framed in recovery, metabolic flexibility, and training response. Sessions also connect exercise to circadian timing, autonomic recovery markers (such as heart rate variability), immune signaling from muscle, and the gut–muscle axis. Clinicians can use these concepts to strengthen clinical reasoning around exercise selection, intensity progression, and within-person monitoring using fitness thresholds and wearable data. The aim is to support more individualized care planning and follow-up by linking symptoms, function, and objective metrics to the biology of adaptation, which is relevant across cardiometabolic, fatigue, aging, and oncology-adjacent contexts.

The course is organized as a multi-session recording that builds from core cellular signaling in exercise to applied discussions on recovery, immune and gut interactions, and measurement-based personalization. It emphasizes mechanism-informed clinical reasoning and practical monitoring concepts that can be revisited as you work through complex training tolerance and adaptation patterns.
