KINE 2130U – Exercise Physiology

This course will be an introduction to the basic components of physiology as they apply to health, fitness and exercise. Short and long‐term adaptations to acute and chronic bouts of exercise will be examined relative to health and human movement. An emphasis will be placed on the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems with special attention to the application of physiological principles of training. The course uses a combination of didactic classroom lecturing and hands‐on laboratories where students collect and analyze physiological data during and post‐exercise to provide problem‐based learning opportunities.
