Description (or Proposed Degree Requirements)
Examination of the mechanisms of cardiovascular dynamics and metabolic function at
rest and during exercise in healthy and associated diseased populations.
III.
Justification
Through advanced study of the human body during exposure to high levels of acute and
chronic physical stress, students will develop knowledge of cardiovascular and clinical
physiology. 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 student will be able to demonstrate advanced and current knowledge of
cardiovascular and clinical physiology by being able to:
1. describe mechanisms of cardiovascular dynamics at rest and during exercise
including anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system.
2. perform and interpret electrocardiography at rest and during exercise.
3. examine the relationships between cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies and
associated clinical conditions.
4. discuss the impact of clinical disorders and associated pharmacological treatment
upon physiological response and exercise programming.
5. read and interpret original scholarly and review articles in cardiovascular and clinical
physiology and to appropriately utilize and disseminate the information.
Instructional Method
This course will incorporate hands-on activities combined with 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. 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 cardiovascular and clinical
physiology. 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 an
in-depth understanding of the physiological basis of training and the factors limiting
human performance. There is a hands-on approach to learning through the use of a
variety of laboratory activities.
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. In addition students are encouraged to have an e-mail address.
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.

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. Failure to participate in classroom discussion of
Readings/Assignments will result in a grade of 0 being assigned.

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.
