EXS 3311 - Exercise Physiology I with Integrated Lab

Credits: 4

Formerly: SME3311
This educational experience will provide students with an opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of human physiology and the responses and adaptations that occur during exercise. This course will review concepts related to energy and force including metabolism and bioenergetics, pulmonary physiology, cardiovascular physiology, neuromuscular physiology, environmental physiology, and training responses to acute and chronic exercise. The course will also introduce research methods in exercise and rehabilitation science. The integrated laboratory experience will provide students with opportunities to assess, evaluate, and demonstrate some of the physiological concepts discussed in class. Students will apply acquired knowledge and skills to develop a research question, design a research study, perform data collection, interpret and analyze the data collected, and present results.
Prerequisite(s): HSC 1122, HSC 1123 both with a grade of C or better.
