Keywords:
Sports Physiology, Athletic Performance, Energy Systems, Muscle Physiology, Cardiovascular Adaptations, Nutrition, HydrationAbstract
Sports physiology is the study of the body's responses and adaptations to physical activity. Understanding these responses is crucial for enhancing athletic performance, preventing injuries, and promoting recovery. This article reviews the key principles of sports physiology, including energy systems, muscle physiology, cardiovascular adaptations, and the role of nutrition and hydration. Emphasis is placed on how these physiological factors influence performance in different sports and the practical applications for athletes and coaches.
