Applied Physiology of Exercise

Catalog description

This course focuses on biologic system responses at rest, during exercise, and as the result of training. Major emphasis is placed on bridging gaps between introductory concepts of exercise physiology and the contemporary research evidence that further advances the field of exercise science. The effect of environmental systems and factors on the regulatory response to exercise is addressed. The history and major milestones associated with the development of the science of exercise physiology are presented. Future developments in the field of exercise physiology, such as the role of genetics and genomics are integrated into the course. Laboratory and field experiences provide students with opportunities to apply theory to practice.
