Exercise Physiology

Catalog description

This course in Exercise Physiology aims to provide an understanding of the physiological responses and adaptations that occur in the body during and in response to exercise. The course covers acute responses to exercise, such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and ventilation, as well as chronic adaptations with regular exercise, including improvements in muscle mass, strength, and cardiovascular function. Additionally, students will learn about different training programs used to elicit these adaptations and apply their knowledge through laboratory exercises measuring aerobic and anaerobic fitness, muscle function, and metabolic responses to exercise.
