Course: Exercise Physiology (EXPH 2115) – Lecture Description: Protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in relation to energy production including anaerobic and oxidative pathways with an emphasis on exercise and health. A study of the effects of exercise on the major systems of the human body, including the cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular systems.Course: Exercise Physiology (EXPH 2116) – Laboratory Description: Provides an experiential overview of human exercise physiology. Topics include basic laboratory procedures and interpretation, bioenergetics and energy expenditure dynamics, lactate threshold, ergometers and power output, field and stress testing, mechanical efficiency, muscular strength assessment, cardiovascular dynamics, body composition and respiratory dynamics.Course: Clinical Exercise Physiology (EXPH 3200) – LaboratoryDescription: Provides theory and practical experience in clinical exercise physiology. Content includes Electrocardiography, Arrhythmia Recognition, Basic Clinical Assessment, Exercise Testing, Health and Fitness Assessment, Foundations of Clinical Exercise Prescription, and Disease Specific Exercise Recommendations. Students are prepared to sit for certification exams in the American College of Sports Medicine, American Society of Exercise Physiology and National Athletic Trainers’ Association.
