This document provides notes on the cardiovascular system and its response to exercise, detailing physiological cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling, the Frank-Starling mechanism, and factors affecting blood return to the heart.   It covers the differences between endurance and strength athletes, heart failure, including systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and the systemic responses to heart failure.   Additionally, the notes discuss the heart cycle, pressure-volume loops, and the impa...

This provides a detailed overview of the pathophysiological, metabolic, and lifestyle factors contributing to cardiovascular disease, particularly atherosclerosis, and its close association with diabetes. It explains the development of atherosclerotic plaques as a slow, chronic process driven by lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. The role of lipoproteins like LDL and HDL in cholesterol transport and plaque formation is emphasized, alongside key risk ...

The document offers an in-depth yet structured overview of energy metabolism and energy balance, highlighting how the body regulates, consumes, and expends energy. It begins with foundational concepts such as the First Law of Thermodynamics and the components of total energy expenditure—resting energy expenditure, activity-related expenditure, and the thermic effect of food. Various methods for measuring energy expenditure are detailed, including direct and indirect calorimetry, the doubly lab...

Lecture Notes for Professor Collins lectures including: Principles of Skeletal Muscle Adaptations, Development of skeletal muscle during embryogenesis, Strength and Endurance Training, Necrosis, regeneration and fibrosis, and a block to draw your summary of exercise-induced muscle damage
