Human Biology IB - Bioenergetics

Overview

Key facts

Learn about energy and movement within the human body. What are the factors that makes us move better? By understanding these factors you can better manage people’s capacity to move, and to manage optimum levels of energy within their body. 

This Human Biology IB - Bioenergetics course from Warnborough College gives you the tools to manage energy levels in people. Learn what is energy, how to increase people’s energy levels and maintain them in different situations, when rest is the perfect recovery tool and how to perform exercises for better energy management.

Aims

• Explain how energy is used in the human body to create work and power.
