Reference is made to studies of both human and animal models. Strong emphasis on laboratory experiences. Students will receive instruction in basic laboratory techniques pertinent to Exercise Physiology. Students will be required to review and discuss a variety of current topics in exercise physiology. Interpretation of published literature related to exercise will be studied through the utilization of both oral and written presentations.
Emphasis is placed upon independent study under the guidance of a selected faculty member.
Student will propose a research problem, a methodological approach to solving the problem, and a comprehensive literature review. A presentation will be made to the entire Exercise Physiology faculty as part of the grading procedure. Special emphasis will be placed on the neuromuscular, circulatory, respiratory and endocrine systems. Basic interpretation of the ECG signal is an expected outcome. Students will perform resting and exercise ECG's.
