SES-360 ESSENTIALS IN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
This is an entry-level course in exercise physiology, which is the study of how the body (subcell, cell, tissue, organ, system) responds in function and structure to: 1) acute exercise stress, and 2) chronic physical activity. Aspects of chemistry, biology, and physics are integrated to explain biological events and their sites of occurrence in the human body as they affect exercise and training. The course includes the energy systems, neuromuscular concepts as applied to sports and functions of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems during rest, steady state, and exhaustive physical activity. This course satisfies a general education "distribution" requirement in Science and is required for Applied Sport & Exercise Sciences (SESA) majors. Laboratory to be taken concurrently with lecture. Laboratory fee required. Prerequisite: BIO 220 Human Anatomy. Corequisite: SES360L Essentials of Exercise Physiology Lab.
