Physiology of Exercise

Catalog description

Students will investigate the relationship between human energy and physical activity, inclusive of energy transfer and expenditure, at rest and during exercise. The roles of the pulmonary, cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems will be studied as support systems to physical training and its application to the athletic training, fitness, sports performance, and health science field. Exercise training and functional capacity will be addressed in relation to the muscles, and the anaerobic and aerobic energy systems. Laboratory experiences exploring neuromuscular, metabolic, and cardiorespiratory responses to acute exercise will be introduced.
