The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the function of the human body during exercise. Specifically, how the human organism responds, adjusts, and adapts to both acute and chronic exercise. Emphasis is placed on bioenergetics, as well as cardiorespiratory, neuromuscular, and endocrine responses to the stresses of exercise. Also discussed are the effects of environmental factors and ergogenic aids and the impact both have on the physiological capacity of humans to perform exercise. Must be concurrently enrolled in EDPE 377L. Spring.
