Course Search
Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:
- Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
- Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
- Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
- Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)
If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.
PED 463: Physiology Of Exercise
( Lecture )
3 credits
An analysis of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems provides the basis for understanding human movements and, in particular, movement in various sports skills and dance forms. Mechanical principles underlying movement and their relationship to the performance of skills. (Distribution Reqs:Natural Sciences)
Learning Goals
Scholarship: 1. Through laboratory reports students will demonstrate various methods of scholarly inquiry. 2. Through laboratory reports students will refine their ability to express themselves both in writing and orally across a range of metabolic,cardiovascular, muscle function, and body composition topics. 3. Through examinations, students will demonstrate an understanding of: a. energy metabolism as applied to exercise, weight control, and nutrition. b. the human physiological response to acute and chronic exercise. c. the health related aspects of exercise participation. d. the physiological response to environmental constraints and precautions to permit safe athletic participation. e. the development of exercise training program to enhance health and/or human performance.Reflective Practice:1. Through the application of physiological principles, students will demonstrate background information for use in both in the classroom and the gymnasium.Wellness:1. Through class discussions and examinations, students will demonstrate the understanding of principles of safe and effective exercise programming for health and performance. 2. Through class discussions and examinations, students will demonstrate an understanding of genetic limitations and the propensity for improvement relative to age and sex.
