The course specifically prepares students with the knowledge and skills essential for working in clinical settings related to health and healthcare professions. It intricately examines the interrelationship between physical activity and the consequential human physiological response. It prepares students to assess the physiology of the human body during acute responses and chronic adaptations to exercise and physical activity as a result of the training and conditioning process. Laboratory experiences will allow students to apply theoretical concepts to the health and health care professions in the areas of cardiovascular, metabolic, neuromuscular, pulmonary diseases, body composition, and exercise in thermal stress environments.
