This course focuses on the effects of exercise on human physiology and bioenergetics. The physiological changes and adaptations to exercise on the cardiovascular, pulmonary, neuromuscular, and endocrine systems are investigated in detail. The relationship between nutrition, body composition, and exercise are discussed. The laboratory component explores the assessment of resting metabolic rate, energy expenditure, body composition, cardio-respiratory function, maximum oxygen uptake, lactate threshold, strength and flexibility, and other physiological responses to exercise. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 115, or BIOL 250 and 251 (Lab fee required.)
