COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1. Evaluate the source and credibility of reports of scientific experiments in exercise physiology and related topics.
2. Recognize the principles that govern the development of muscular strength and endurance.
3. Comprehend the role of metabolism, bioenergetics, and energy expenditure in varying levels of exercise intensity and at rest.
4. Describe the structure and function of the nervous system as it relates to neural control of human movement.
5. Define body composition and its relationship to recommended weight and sport and exercise participation.
6. Assess cardiorespiratory responses in aerobic and anaerobic exercise for sport and exercise participation.
7. Relate general principles and adaptations of aerobic, anaerobic, and resistance training to exercise training regimens.
8. Identify the physiological responses to various environmental conditions (i.e. higher altitude, heat, and cold).
9. Identify and analyze the various ergogenic agents used that can physiologically affect exercise and sport performance.
