SLIDE 2 Content
It’s all about YOU! What do we mean by physiological measurement? ‘Real life’ example: endurance performance
– How do we assess it? – What do the results mean? – What difference can it make to me?

- 1. The biological study of the functions of living organisms
and their parts.
– 2. All the functions of a living organism or any of its parts.
meas·ure·ment
– 1. The act of measuring or the process of being measured.
