Exercise physiology – or  how do fish swim?

In this module you will learn more about exercise physiology, especially fish exercise. This will tie together what you’ve learned in the activities Respiration and Circulation since the cardiovascular (circulation) and respiratory (respiration) systems are very important during exercise.

Assignment – questions to answer
