4.00 Credits
Advanced study in special topics or current issues. The specific topic will vary each time the course is offered. May be repeated for credit with a different topic. A. Nutrition and Bioenergetics. An investigation of the many specific aspects of nutrition in health and exercise. Students will acquire an understanding of the biochemical and physiological adaptations following nutritional manipulation and supplementation. Primary focus will be on recent research examining nutrient metabolism in exercise and disease prevention. Prerequisites: EX111, 126, 127, and 242. P. Arciero B. Cardiorespiratory Aspects of Human Performance. Advanced study of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic aspects of human physical performance and fitness. Students will acquire an understanding of both the acute and chronic adaptations of the cardiorespiratory system to exercise stress and will explore the neural control mechanisms responsible for regulating the cardiorespiratory response to static and dynamic exercise. Prerequisites: EX111, 126, 127, and CPR certifications. D. Smith C. Applied Anatomy and Kinesiology. Advanced study of the anatomical and mechanical principles of human movement. Emphasis will be placed on the analysis of health-related movements, i.e., sitting, standing, and transitional postures, walking and running gaits and low-back problems. Students will learn to apply these kinesiological principles to special populations including children, aged, and injured. Prerequisites: EX126, 127. P. Fehling D. Advanced Sports Medicine and Athletic Training. Exploration of the current issues and research in sports medicine and the application of this research to athletic training. Students will study a variety of topics, which may include rehabilitation, preventative measures, the effects of ingesta, and controversial training practices. Prerequisites: EX212 and CPR certification. M. Garcia E. Neuromuscular Aspects of Human Performance. Advanced exploration of the neural, muscular, and skeletal aspects of human physical performance and fitness. Students will acquire an understanding of both the exercise response and training adaptations of the neuromuscular systems to exercise stress, and will explore ways of enhancing performance via structured resistance training and the usefulness of various nutritional supplements. Prerequisites: EX111, 126, 127. T.H. Reynolds F. Chronic Disease Epidemiology. Focuses on the epidemiologic methods for examining lifestyle-related factors and their impact on health in populations. Covers basic epidemiological study design and methods issues pertinent to the study of chronic diseases; students will learn to analyze and critique the epidemiological methods used in scientific research studies. Primarily focused on the role of physical activity and nutrition in preventing and treating chronic disease, but also touches on the role of other lifestyle factors in this process. Prerequisites: EX111, 126, 127. J. Burden G. Body Composition. Advanced study of the human body composition. Students will study the various constituents of the body, as well as the assumptions and violations of assumptions associated with various methodologies of determining body composition. Additionally students will analyze the changes that occur in body composition with aging, weight-reduction or weight-gaining programs, and certain disease states. Prerequisites: EX111, 126, 127. P. Fehling

Advanced research under guidance of a faculty member. A student may receive liberal arts credit at the discretion of both the department chair and the registrar. Prerequisite: Permission of the department; CPR certification may be required depending upon the nature of the research. The Department
-
1.00 Credits
An opportunity for students to engage in research under the guidance of a faculty member. Students will work on a specialized topic within Exercise Science chosen in consultation with a member of the department who agrees to serve as an advisor. Students meet weekly for one hour of discussion but work individually with faculty mentors to complete their research throughout the semester. Students will present their results in the form of a written thesis and an oral presentation. Prerequisite: agreement by a faculty member to serve as a thesis advisor, completion of EX241 and EX311. EX375 may be repeated once for all-college credit. Not for liberal arts credit. The Department
