HK330 - Exercise Physiology

Examination of cellular bioenergetics and the adaptation of the nervous, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, and endocrine systems to acute and chronic physical activity. Special topics such as temperature regulation during physical activity, physical activity at altitude, acid/base balance during physical activity, and fatigue thresholds may be discussed. Laboratory sessions may include body composition assessment techniques, anaerobic power and capacity assessment, oxygen consumption, caloric expenditure and pulmonary measurement and estimation during submaximal and maximal activity, and/or muscular endurance, strength, and power assessment. Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World lab or field requirement. Meets the Critical Perspectives: Quantitative Reasoning requirement.

Prerequisite: Human Biology and Kinesiology 321.
