CG • Section 8WK • 11/08/2019 to 04/16/2020 • Modified 02/01/2024
Course Description
For information regarding prerequisites for this course, please refer to the Academic Course Catalog.
Rationale
The purpose of this course is to allow the student the opportunity to further understand the responses and adaptations of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems as well as skeletal muscles to exercise and training. Furthermore, the student will be exposed to the primary physiological factors that determine anaerobic and endurance performance in athletes. This will provide the student with the necessary background information for the majority of his/her cognate classes in the human performance, clinical, nutrition, and community physical activity cognate areas. This critical core course emphasizes both acute and chronic physiological adaptations associated with human physical activity and their influence upon performance.
Course Assignment
Textbook readings and lecture presentations
Course Requirements Checklist
After reading the Course Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview.
Discussions (2)
Discussion assignments are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to create a thread in response to the provided prompt.
