| HHP 537 - ADVANCED EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY |
|
This is an advanced exercise physiology course aimed at graduate students that possess a basic understanding of human exercise physiology. The primary goal of this class is to acquaint the students with knowledge, understanding, and value of the relationship of contributing metabolic factors, temperature regulation, and fatigue to physical exercise as they apply to athletic performance, fitness and extreme environments. Particular attention will be placed upon an understanding of muscle bioenergetics and metabolism as well as the cardiopulmonary responses to both acute and chronic exercise. Special topics to be addressed include exercise-induced oxidative stress, mechanisms of inactivity-induced muscle atrophy, performance at altitude, and hydration during exercise. Finally, this course will incorporate a problem-based learning approach and will emphasize the importance of critical thinking skills in exercise physiology.
