Course Format:
The class format includes lectures, class discussions, laboratory assignments and a student generated review paper.
The evaluation process includes exams, quizzes, laboratory assignments and a review paper. Student should bring
note-taking material to lectures and labs and wear clothing appropriate for exercising for every laboratory session.
Course Content:
Introduction to exercise and sports physiology
Muscular control of movement
Neurological control of movement
Neuromuscular Adaptations to Resistance Training
Metabolism and basic energy systems
Hormonal regulation of exercise
Metabolic Adaptations to training
Cardiovascular control during exercise
Respiratory regulation during exercise
Cardiorespiratory adaptations during exercise
Thermoregulation and exercise

Growth, development, and the young athlete
Aging and the older athlete
Cardiovascular disease and physical activity
Course Requirements:
1. Assigned Readings: Read the assigned material from the text. Participate in the class discussion
2. Laboratory Activities: Participate in each laboratory activity as they relate to assigned readings and course
material. Turn in the laboratory assignments on time.
3. Demonstrate knowledge on written quizzes and exams relative to course work assigned.
4. The student will review four articles form the field of exercise physiology; articles will be thematically related
and selected from a professional journal. The article review will be introduced by a two to three page discussion
that ties together the four articles. Such discussion should include a summary and evaluation of the reviewed
literature. Copies of the four journal articles must be turned in with their respective reviews. The paper will be
typed, double spaced with font no bigger than 12. One point penalty a day will apply to all late assignments. The
paper will be presented to the class in a 10 -15 minute power point presentation format.

Expectations:
All work submitted should be legible and grammatically correct, and computer generated/typed when applicable.
Make-up exams and quizzes will only occur for extreme illness or excused absence and should be cleared ahead of
time with the instructor whenever possible. Laboratory assignments are due the following week.
Absences:
According to the University policy, you may not miss more than 20% of all class sessions or your resulting grade
will be Failure. More than 6 absences will result in an automatic F. Excused absences are for University-sponsored
functions, extreme illness, other situations approved by the instructor.

Tardiness:
Students are expected to arrive to class on time and will be dismissed on time. Tardiness in excess of 10 minutes
will be counted as an absence.
Disability Statement:
Students with a disability that affects their academic performance are expected to arrange for a conference with the
instructor in order that appropriate strategies can be considered to ensure that participation and achievement
opportunities are not impaired. Students should contact Director of Learning Skills, Barbi Rouse in the Student Life
