    This 3 credit course introduces students to exercise physiology and the body's physiological response and adaptation to exercise. The course covers topics like energy systems, cardiorespiratory and muscular adaptations to training, nutrition, body composition, and thermoregulation. Upon completing the course, students will understand the relationship between physical activity and health, be able to apply exercise prescription principles, and recognize the body's response to exercise at varying intensities and environments. Student learning will be assessed through exams, assignments, participation, and practical lab activities.

    Common Course Outline for: EXSC 2305 Exercise Physiology

    A. Course Description
    1. Number of credits: 3
    2. Lecture hours per week: 3 hours
    Lab hours per week: None
    3. Prerequisites: Recommended eligible for READ 1106 and ENGC 1101
    4. Co-requisites: None

    This course introduces students to the scientific basis of exercise and/or athletic performance. Specifically,
    students will study the human body's physiological adaptation to external stressors such as work, exercise and
    environmental conditions. This information will be directly related to the basis of health and fitness conditioning
    for athletes, non-athletes and special populations, and to a greater understanding of athletic performance
    limitations.

    D. Course Learning Outcomes


    Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
    1. Recognize the important role of exercise physiology in physical education and health status.
    2. Identify the relationship of physical inactivity to specific illnesses and diseases. Students will
    apply this information to make appropriate, preventative exercise recommendations.
    3. Explain metabolic energy pathways as they apply to varying intensities of exercise.
    4. Recognize the cellular-to-organ biological responses of the cardiorespiratory and ventilatory
    systems during exercise.
    5. Demonstrate knowledge of the neuromuscular response to exercise during various physical
    activities.
    6. Determine limitations of the metabolic, neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory and ventilatory
    systems during exercise at varying intensities and with various environmental conditions.
    7. Describe the concepts of energy, work, and power and the methods for measuring each concept.
    8. Measure body composition and recognize healthy body composition values.
    9. Describe the impact of body composition on health status and athletic performance.
    10. Understand the hormone endocrine system and its role in exercise metabolism and fluid
    balance.
    11. Recognize and experience the relationship of environmental conditions to athletic performance
    at altitude and below sea level in an underwater environment.
    12. Demonstrate an understanding of the components of physical fitness as measured through
    practical in-class assignments.

    E. Methods for Assessing Student Learning


    At the discretion of the Instructor, students will be evaluated on daily attendance and participation in
    lecture and group activities; literary research skills and written professional journal critiques; written exams;
    practical lab activities and written reports.
