KN 381 - Exercise Physiology (3)

An in-depth study of exercising muscle, cardiorespiratory function, exercise testing and training principles, and environmental influences on human performance. This course reinforces the foundational concepts of homeostasis, cell-cell communication, flow down gradients, structure and function, and energy to study acute responses and chronic adaptations to physical challenges. Understanding how the body responds to physical stressors is essential to individualizing exercise prescription for health and fitness, program design for team performance, and modifying training according to environmental influences. Prerequisites: BI 220  with a “C” or higher and Junior standing. FA.
