This document discusses how exercise physiology relates to daily sport and life. It examines the nervous system and how understanding the brain is important for sport. It also looks at how exercise physiology applies to everyday life, the effects of COVID-19 lockdown on physiology, and considerations for female athletes, including how the menstrual cycle can impact performance. Videos are referenced on topics like neuroplasticity, the brain-changing benefits of exercise, managing exam stress, lockdown's effects on the body, and how the menstrual cycle influences thermoregulation and athletic performance.
