Exercise Physiology.

Catalog description

This course is designed to introduce Health and Exercise Science students to core physiological concepts relevant to acute and long-term adaptations to the stress of exercise. An overview of metabolic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and skeletal muscle adaptations will be discussed along with special topics such as environmental stressors, obesity, and nutrition. Outside laboratory assignments are carried out for the purpose of applying lecture to practice and providing “hands on” opportunities to develop basic competencies in the interpretation of laboratory testing in exercise physiology. Lab fee required.
