A. Rationale/Justification for the Course
This course will examine principles of Exercise Physiology as they related to performance and will build upon
concepts presented in SPMD 550 Applied Performance Physiology I. In particular, cardiovascular, pulmonary
components of Exercise Physiology as well as performance in environmental extremes will be the foci. The course will
be presented online and will add convenience to some students, while increasing growth potential of the program by
increasing the potential student pool of students by removing geographical constraints.

Upon successful completion of the course students will:
Understand the cardiac output responses to exercise.
Understand the muscle blood flow responses to exercise.
Understand pulmonary responses to exercise
Possess an advanced knowledge of cardiovascular anatomy and physiology.
Understand the physiological responses/adaptations to various environmental
stressors (e.g. altitude, heat and cold, microgravity).
6.
Develop critical reasoning skills to interpret and design studies examining
responses or adaptations to exercise.

Plagiarism
Any act of plagiarism will result in a “0” for the relevant assignment/act on the first
offence. Any subsequent offence will result in an E for the class and notification of
university administration for appropriate sanctions. For clarification regarding what is

Student Group Presentations
The presentations will consist of presenting a paper on the topic assigned in the
syllabus. Each student will be assigned a topic (e.g. Conditions of Hypoxia). The
students will then prepare a presentation as a group related to the section of the textbook
relevant to the topic.
The presentations will consist of presenting a paper on the topic assigned in the
syllabus. Each student will be assigned a topic (e.g. Anaerobic metabolism-acute
responses). Presentation will consist of background and critique of the chosen paper
including the performance implications.
Since this is an online course, the presentations will need to be prepared in
Powerpoint format and an accompanying audio/video presentation will need to be
submitted. Tutorials for these procedures will be available on the course website. This
will not only serve to present your knowledge of the material on this subject, but will also
serve to give the student exposure/practice for online presentations, which are becoming
essentially ubiquitous in professional settings. Use this as an opportunity, not an
obstacle.

What is Plagiarism
Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone else's
original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of
the offense:
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary,
to "plagiarize" means
1. to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
2. to use (another's production) without crediting the source
3. to commit literary theft
4. to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's
work and lying about it afterward.
But can words and ideas really be stolen?
According to U.S. law, the answer is yes. The expression of original ideas is considered
intellectual property, and is protected by copyright laws, just like original inventions.
Almost all forms of expression fall under copyright protection as long as they are
recorded in some way (such as a book or a computer file).
All of the following are considered plagiarism:
turning in someone else's work as your own
copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your
work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on "fair use" rules)
Most cases of plagiarism can be avoided, however, by citing sources. Simply
acknowledging that certain material has been borrowed, and providing your audience
with the information necessary to find that source, is usually enough to prevent
plagiarism. See our section on citation for more information on how to cite sources
properly.
Course Policies and Information
1. Submission of late assignment policy: Missing the deadline for an online quiz will
result in 0 points for the quiz. The conditioning project will be deducted 10% for
each day late beyond the due date.
2. Make-up work policy: There will be no chance to make-up a missed assignment
in this class. To receive bonus points, passing both sections on the mock exam to
receive 15 extra points. Pass one section and receive 10 extra points.
3. Work missed due to sickness or family emergency policy: Any emergency
resulting in missed class expectations should be reported as soon as possible to
the course instructor. The instructor will then decide if a grade readjustment or
chance to make-up work is warranted.
4. Plagiarism policy: Students that demonstrate plagiarism or cheating in any form
will be referred to Student Judicial Services and receive an automatic ‘E’ for the
course. Please refer to the EMU Student Handbook for specific information
concerning this and related issues.
5. Special accommodations policy: If you wish to be accommodated for your
disability, EMU Board of Regents Policy 8.3 requires that you first register with
the Students with Disabilities Office (SDO) in 240 EMU Student Center. You
may contact SDO by telephone (734.487.2470). Students with disabilities are
encouraged to register with the SDO promptly as you will only be accommodated
from the date you register with them forward. No retroactive accommodations
are possible.
Current University policy recognizes the rights of students to observe religious
holidays without penalty to the student. Students will provide advance notice to
the instructor in order to make up work, including examinations, they miss as a
result of their absence from class due to observance of religious holidays. If
satisfactory arrangements cannot be made with the instructor, the student may
appeal to the school director or head(s) of department(s) in which the course(s) is
/ are offered.
Online Course Information
This course will present concepts and controversies related to Applied
Performance Physiology, in particular cardiovascular, respiratory and environmental
physiology. Because this field is “clinical” in nature, there are many controversies, and
the online course format will facilitate addressing some of these quite effectively. For
this purpose, PowerPoint presentations will be available, which will be supplemented
with audio and/or video presentations. Further, online discussion forums will be
available for each unit to facilitate student-student interaction, as well as input from the
instructor in order to “flesh out” some of these controversies. Finally, online materials,
particularly tests and quizzes, in a time-flexible fashion so that individual schedules can
be accommodated. This is one of the clearest advantages of online course presentation.
That being said, the students will need to remain on top of timelines to ensure meeting
course deadlines. At the conclusion of the course, the online approach will hopefully
promote a deeper understanding of some of the concepts related to the field than might be
achieved in a more time-constrained in person setting.
Instructor’s Responsibilities:
The course instructor will:
1. Provide timely return of exams.
2. Provide concise and specific instructions of online assignment completions and
submissions.
3. Provide 24 hour feedback concerning assignments.
4. Sample problem-solving with each assignment.
5. Tutorials with each assignment where appropriate.
6. Course discussions will be provided for students to discuss material with each
other and the professor.
7. Provide details of how each assignment will be graded.
Student’s Responsibilities:
1. Submit assignments complete and on the date and time due
2. Submit assignments in the required style and format.
3. The importance of accuracy and clarity in written materials
4. The importance of maintaining accurate records of all work completed and in
progress.
5. Grade and point maintenance
