Physiology of Exercise Lab

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to gain an understanding of the physiology (neuromuscular, metabolic, and cardiopulmonary) of exercise, including the physiology of training (i.e., the acute responses and chronic adaptations that occur due to exercise). This course will reinforce the basic exercise physiology concepts via application, increase awareness of and proficiency in performing selected laboratory tests and measurements commonly used in exercise physiology studies of humans, and provide practice in the process of data collection, evaluation and reporting. Prerequisites: BI 255 ; must be taken concurrently with KN 326 .
