Advanced Exercise Physiology

This upper-level course will provide an in-depth exploration of the physiological responses and adaptations to acute and chronic exercise. Building upon foundational knowledge, Advanced Exercise Physiology combines theoretical concepts with practical applications, emphasizing critical analysis of current research and hands-on laboratory experiences. Over the semester we'll engage in discussions intended develop a comprehensive understanding of how exercise physiology is applied in real-world contexts. Topics covered include: exercise metabolism, cardiorespiratory adaptations, neuromuscular adaptations, environmental impacts, and fitness assessment.
