HSCI-225 Exercise Physiology
Fall only
This course will provide a comprehensive study of the human body using exercise as the principal paradigm. Both anaerobic and aerobic exercise provide extensive benefits for the human body at multiple levels. The class is designed to integrate the biochemical, cellular, and systemic processes in response to exercise. We will examine numerous physiological systems including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, nervous, psychological, and immune function during short and long-term exercise scenarios. Important biochemical pathways, i.e., glycolysis, the Kreb’s Cycle, lipid and free fatty acid mobilization and utilization, will be studied within the context of the body’s needs during or after exercise. The study of specified cells, such as skeletal muscle fibers, will be highlighted. We will also examine how the body recovers from exercise or injury induced by exercise.
