EXS 555 - Advanced Exercise Physiology Physiological adaptations, mechanisms of change of function taking place as result of physical exercise. Physiological factors influencing human performance; environmental factors of altitude, space, temperature extremes; drugs and doping; age and gender; related problems in sport medicine. Prior knowledge of exercise physiology is expected. Not open to students with credit for EXS 465. Prerequisite: EXS 397 or equivalent. (3 cr. hr.)
Frequency code O = offered occasionally
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Explain physiological adaptations and mechanisms of change related to body functions taking place as a result of physical exercise.
- Identify physiological factors influencing human performance; environmental factors of altitude, space, temperature extremes; drugs and doping; age and gender; related problems in sport medicine.
- Describe the physiological responses to chronic exercise including: systemic and cellular adaptations to long-term aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise, and strength training.
- Appraise the principles of effective physical conditioning techniques in the apparently healthy individual.
