Course
Objectives
A primary objective of this course
is to further your understanding of exercise physiology. A second but equally important objective is
to enhance cognitive abilities with regards to exercise physiology. This will require use of the scientific
process, which includes formation of a research question, hypothesis, designing
an experiment, and inferring conclusions from data. Secondary objectives include improving
technology skills to assist collecting and analyzing data, and writing and oral
communication skills for demonstrating understanding of the physiological
principles.
Pre-/Co-requisites
ENS 304 or a comparable
course.
Crashing Policy
Preference will be given, in
this order, to: 1) students preparing to enter an ENS graduate program, 2)
graduating seniors, 3) seniors, and 4) all other students.
Lab Policies
- Because this lab is involved with blood and the
potential for contamination, eating, drinking, applying cosmetics or lip
balm and handling contact lenses are prohibited.
- Attendance is required for the first six lab
sessions and the first day of each of the two lab projects. Afterwards,
attendance is required only as warranted by your project and group needs.
- Legitimate excuses are accepted, although your
lab instructor may require documentation. However, you remain responsible
for all lab assignments. If you have an excused absence or plan to be out
of town, please see your instructor regarding making up the lab.
- Dress appropriately for an exercise setting
(sneakers, shorts, sportsbras, T-shirts, etc.).
