    Duquesne University

    This course, utilizing both lecture and lab format, prepares students to comprehend the physiological changes occurring in the body when undergoing the stress of exercise and physical activity. The content of this course includes an emphasis on the measurement of normal physiological functions, as well as the recognition and measurement of both normal and abnormal adaptations that may occur in the cardiorespiratory and muscular systems of the body as a result of exercise. Students will learn the interrelationship between body composition and metabolism during the body’s response to exercise, and discuss the correlation of nutrition, hydration, and altitude, as influenced by the body’s metabolic responses to exercise as well as temperature. Students will be introduced to evolving complementary and alternative medical practices, along with an overview of the requirements of a periodization plan for regular exercise. Students will learn information concerning nutrition and wellness concepts, as it relates to the general population and special needs populations. In addition, general fitness concepts will be discussed as it relates to wellness, relaxation techniques, general nutrition and dietary supplements.

  • PHYT 510: Clinical Education I

    4.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    Clinical Education I is the first of five full-time clinical experiences. Each student is assigned a clinical instructor (CI) who serves as their clinical supervisor. In addition, each clinical site has a Center Coordinator for Clinical Education (CCCE) who is responsible for overseeing the student’s clinical education experience. Students are expected to apply current professional knowledge base to develop problem solving strategies for managing clinical problems; integrate academic knowledge and skills into the clinical setting; demonstrate professional behavior, and participate as a member of the health care team. This includes participating in clinical examinations, evaluations, and implementation of physical therapy interventions; discharge planning; educating patients, family members and caregivers; participation in team meetings; on-site continuing education; patient rounds and formal patient reporting; and other learning experiences as determined by the CI/CCCE. Supplemental learning experiences such as observing surgery and working with members of the interdisciplinary health care team are encouraged when available.

  • PHYT 530: Topics in Research

    2.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    This course will apply the principles learned in the prerequisite course to three aspects of the research process. First, all students will participate in small research projects to be performed in class. These projects will cover a broad spectrum of potential research designs so that students will be exposed to data acquisition in multiple research formats. Secondly, the product of these student research projects will be written in an abstract format typical of submission for presentation at a national conference. Thus, students will learn the process of presenting acquired data. Thirdly, students will learn to critique the finished product of the research process through evaluation of seven separate published manuscripts that likewise represent a broad spectrum of research designs. The papers will be evaluated for their validity and usefulness to practice (i.e. evidence-based practice). The same skill will then be used to perform an independent evidence-based project. Prerequisite: HLTS 430.
