Exercise Physiology

Description

The lecture, laboratory experience and supplementary readings are designed to promote an understanding o the physiological responses to acute and chronic exercise. Successful completion of the course requirements will enable one to understand the basic function of various physiological systems; describe the various physiological changes that occur during acute exercise and the various adaptations to different forms of exercise training and environmental influence; understand the basic ergometry and other laboratory instrumentation for evaluating physiological responses to exercise; and experience exercise stress in a laboratory setting as a participant and tester.
