The study of acute and chronic physiological responses to exercise and sport. Emphasis will be placed on informing students about bioenergetics, exercise metabolism, energy expenditure, neuromuscular and endocrine response, and cardiovascular and pulmonary adaptations to training. Accompanying laboratory activities will enable students to practice a deeper understanding of heart function (sphygmomanometry), lung function (spirometry), blood lactate accumulation (lactate threshold), anaerobic fitness (Wingate), and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Lab required. Requisites: BIO-115 (Human Biology) or BIO-155 (Human Anatomy & Physiology I) with a grade of C- or higher - Must be taken either prior to or at the same time as this course.
