BIOS 4460 - Physiology of Exercise Laboratory


The purpose of this laboratory course is to provide the student with an opportunity to obtain hands on experiences in the methodologies and techniques used in studying exercise physiology and to learn skills and to practice many of the techniques used by exercise physiologists.

Requisites: C or better in (BIOS 4450 or EXPH 4140) or concurrent and WARNING: No credit for both this course and EXPH 4145 and WARNING: No credit for this course if BIOS 4455 is taken
Credit Hours: 2
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 1.0 lecture, 2.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Students will be able to describe and explain changes in metabolic, endocrine, neural, muscular, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems during an acute bout of exercise
  • Students will be able to describe and explain changes in metabolic, endocrine, neural, muscular, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems in response to chronic exercise (training)
  • Students will be able to describe how the physiological responses to exercise are different in patients with chronic diseases and be able to explain why these responses are different.
  • Students will be able to describe procedures and experiments that we perform in each lab
  • Students will be able to explain how each experiment we perform relates to specific aspects of cellular, organ, and organ system physiology
  • Students will be able to perform calculations related to each experiment and understand how these formulas relate to specific aspects of cellular, organ, and organ systems physiology
  • Students will be able to evaluate and interpret data from all experiments/lab activities performed in this course
