Justification
Through advanced study of the human body during exposure to high levels of acute and
chronic physical stress, students will develop knowledge of the bioenergetic and
neuromuscular aspects of exercise. This knowledge is necessary for advanced exercise
practitioners and researchers who work with individuals under conditions where the
human body encounters physical stress under various conditions. This course offers an
option for students who are interested in pursuing a career in clinical exercise science
research and practice.

Prerequisites: EHS 6675 (Advanced Exercise Physiology) and Admission to
Graduate Program
Objectives:
The graduate students will acquire advanced and current knowledge of the bioenergetic
and neuromuscular aspects of exercise by demonstrating their ability to:
1. describe mechanisms of bioenergetic and neuromuscular dynamics at rest and during
exercise including anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the metabolic and
neuromuscular systems.
2. explain biochemistry associated with metabolic pathways of energy production and
utilization at rest and during exercise, as well as acute and chronic adaptations to
exercise.
3. describe the neuromuscular mechanisms allowing the performance of work,
phenomenon associated with neuromuscular function, as well as acute and chronic
neuromuscular adaptations to exercise.
4. examine the interrelationships of the metabolic and neuromuscular systems at rest,
during exercise, and in response to chronic training, including assessment of
metabolic and neuromuscular measures.
5. read and interpret original scholarly and review articles in metabolic and
neuromuscular physiology and to appropriately utilize and disseminate the
information.
Instructional Method
This course will utilize hands-on activities as well as lecture and class discussion.
This course will have a laboratory component; therefore, students will be exposed
to the maintenance, calibration, and operation of various pieces of laboratory
equipment. Students will collect data from various tests, and using higher order
thinking skills, students will analyze and interpret the data.
Method of Evaluation
The evaluation will consist of written exams, a paper, critiques of articles, laboratory
reports, and a class skill grade related to use of the various laboratory techniques.

PURPOSE/RATIONALE:
Through advanced study of the human body during exposure to high levels of acute and
chronic physical stress, students will develop knowledge of bioenergetic and
neuromuscular aspects of exercise. This knowledge is necessary for advanced exercise
practitioners and researchers who work with individuals under conditions where the
human body encounters physical stress under various conditions.
Knowledge Base: The content of this course is based on over 100 years of basic and
applied research on the physiological principles of exercise. The study of human
performance is dynamic with an ever-changing knowledge base consequent to new
research and advanced technological procedures. This course is designed to provide and
in-depth understanding of the physiological basis of training and the factors limiting
human performance. A hands-on approach to learning through the use of a variety of
laboratory activities will be employed.
Use of Technology: Technology is integrally important to the study of exercise
physiology. Within the Human Performance Laboratory, students will participate in the
operation and calibration of many instruments such as ergometers, electrocardiograph,
gas analysis system, and hydrostatic weighing. To facilitate data reduction, all students
will be using computers. Students will have access to the instructor through e-mail for a
quick response to questions.
Diversity: It is our vision to create a strong multicultural and diverse educational
environment at KSU in order to increase student satisfaction and to promote an
understanding and awareness of people from various backgrounds upon graduation. In
this way, KSU students will be educated for, and can effectively compete in the global
society.

COURSE GOALS/OBJECTIVES:
The graduate students will acquire advanced and current knowledge of the bioenergetic
and neuromuscular aspects of exercise by demonstrating their ability to:
1. describe mechanisms of bioenergetic and neuromuscular dynamics at rest and during
exercise including anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the metabolic and
neuromuscular systems.
2. explain biochemistry associated with metabolic pathways of energy production and
utilization at rest and during exercise, as well as acute and chronic adaptations to
exercise.
3. describe the neuromuscular mechanisms allowing the performance of work,
phenomenon associated with neuromuscular function, as well as acute and chronic
neuromuscular adaptations to exercise.
4. examine the interrelationships of the metabolic and neuromuscular systems at rest,
during exercise, and in response to chronic training, including assessment of
metabolic and neuromuscular measures.
5. read and interpret original scholarly and review articles in metabolic and
neuromuscular physiology and to appropriately utilize and disseminate the
information.

VIII. COURSE REQUIREMENTS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Lab grades will be based on participation and written laboratory reports. Written laboratory
reports are to follow the format of journal articles. Lab reports will be turned in the NEXT class
day. Because lab is based on participation, there are no opportunities to make up laboratory
experiences. Supplemental readings and assignments will be given throughout the semester.
Exam, Lab, and Readings/Assignments dates will be announced as necessary. Due dates for
course work will be given at the time of assignment. All assignments are to be turned
in/discussed on the given due date.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of
Conduct, as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Section II of the
Student Code of Conduct addresses the University's policy on academic honesty,
including provisions regarding plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to
University materials, misrepresentation/ falsification of University records or academic
work, malicious removal, retention, or destruction of library materials, malicious/
intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse of student
identification cards. Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through
the established procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which includes either an
"informal" resolution by a faculty member, resulting in a grade adjustment, or a formal
hearing procedure, which may subject a student to the Code of Conduct's minimum one
semester suspension requirement.
XI.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
To fulfill the basic objectives of the course, students should consider themselves to be
professional scholars and be present at all class meetings and for the entire class period.
Students are also expected to participate in all class/lab activities. Therefore, the
following policies are in effect:
1) There is no make-up of lab work for this course (e.g., exams, labs, projects, readings,
etc.).
2) Assignments will not be accepted late.
3) Each student is responsible for having a colleague record notes, get an extra
handout/lab if absent from class.
4) The professor will not provide information/materials a 2nd time.
5) Failure to attend/participate in a lab session results in a “0” for the grade. Failure to
participate in an entire lab session results in a grade reduction (the extent of which is
at the discretion of the professor) for the assignment (Waivers may be granted at the
discretion of The professor, if notified prior to the lab; voice mail or e-mail is
acceptable). Waivers will not be granted after the fact.
6) Classes, and therefore exams, begin and end at the designated times. Therefore,
tardiness for an exam will result in an abbreviated examination period.
7) It is the responsibility of the student to make necessary arrangements with the
professor for a make-up exam. Students will not be allowed to take a make-up exam
unless a legitimate (at the discretion of the professor) and verifiable written excuse is
provided and prior arrangements are made. A make-up exam may be different from
the original exam. Only one make-up exam is allowed.
