Physiology of Exercise Lab

Catalog description

Prerequisites: BIO 268/BIO 269, or HSC 422/HSC 450, or HSC 475/HSC 457, or HSC 476/HSC 478. Corequisite: EXS 325. Physiology of Exercise is the study of the physiological function during physical activity and the effects of exercise training programs. The functional basis for physical activity and fitness, including metabolic energy sources, cardiorespiratory function, muscle contraction, temperature regulation, and gender comparisons are studied. Laboratory activities focus on the application and measurement of physiological function during exercise.
