FIT400 Exercise Physiology
This course is the advanced study of anatomy, physiology, and the mechanics of body movement. The course integrates physiological bases of exercise with application to exercising individuals. The effects of exercise on the major physiological systems (cellular, cardiovascular, thermoregulatory, pulmonary, renal, body fluids, hormonal) are discussed. Topics include energy expenditure, fuel substrate metabolism, and hydration. Includes laboratory component with practice of techniques for collection of and analyses of physiological data (i.e., basal metabolism, body composition, pulmonary functions, VO2 measurements, strength testing).Pre-requisite Anatomy and Physiology.
