Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

This course provides a further overview of the physiology of exercise. It builds on the students' knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, and further focuses on the acute and chronic physiological adaptations of exercise on the human body. Various responses of functional systems, different populations, ergogenic aids, chronic diseases, physical activity, health and wellness, and environmental conditions will also be described from a physiological perspective. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Explain how each of the major organ systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal) responds to an acute bout of exercise. 2. Explain the adaptations that occur in each of the major organ systems to exercise training. 3. Explain the influence of environmental conditions and ergogenic factors on exercise physiology. 4. Interpret research topics in the field of exercise physiology and its application to exercise performance. Prerequisites: BIOL 2320 and BIOL 2325 (Grade C- or higher); and BIOL 2420 and BIOL 2425 (Grade C- or higher). Corequisite: XSCI 3705. FA, SP
