SE 304 - Exercise Physiology


Credits: (4 credits)

Provides an understanding of the principles of muscular activity with an emphasis on the integration of the physiology of muscular contraction with the role of the circulatory and respiratory systems during exercise. Includes the physiological adjustments and changes occurring in the human organism as a result of physical activity.

Prerequisite/Corequisite
Prerequisites:  BI210, BI211

Learning Outcomes
Upon Completion of this course, the student will be able to do the following: 

  1. Identify the structure of and describe the function of skeletal muscle and to describe how muscle contraction is dependent on the structure and functioning of the nervous system;
  2. Explain how the cardiovascular and respiratory systems function to provide oxygen and nutrients for the activation of muscle cells (muscle contraction);
  3. Identify and explain the acute responses and chronic adaptations that occur in the neuromuscular, metabolic and cardiorespiratory systems due to physical exercise training;
  4. Identify the various energy systems that allow for muscle contraction (action) to do work and the roles that the various hormones of the body play in metabolism.
