EXSC 3233 - Applied Exercise Physiology

3 credits

[Meets the Core Curriculum Writing Practice Requirement] In this course students will deepen their understanding of body responses and adaptations to exercise by examining four major topics: energy metabolism and bioenergetics, cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology, neuromuscular physiology, and body composition. Course content will cover the body’s function from the cellular to systematic level during exercise with a focus on training principles and techniques as well as assessment of health and performance. Students will learn about the influence of exercise on long-term health and fitness as well as appropriate adaptations for children, adolescents, and adults, males and females, and people with chronic diseases or disabilities.
