printer friendly pageHUMBIO 135: Exercise Physiology
How body systems respond to the stress of acute exercise and adapt to chronic exercise training. How the cardiovascular system adapts to optimize oxygen delivery and utilization, how muscles generate force and hypertrophy in response to training, how metabolic/biochemical pathways are regulated to support the increased energy demand of exercise. Theories on the causes of fatigue and muscle soreness, and on what limits human performance. Applied topics such as the effects of aging, gender, and environmental conditions (high altitude, heat, cold, microgravity) on exercise capacity will also be discussed. Portions of the class will be flipped with some lectures online and others in class. Heavy emphasis on practical physiology in the second half of the course. Prerequisite: Human Biology core, Biology core, or equivalent, or consent of instructor.

HUMBIO 135S: Applied Topics in Exercise Physiology and Metabolism
Discussions of controversial topics related to exercise physiology, sports performance, impacts of aging and environmental physiology. Special focus on how to get science out of the lab via novel training programs, medical device development, and science communication. Students will learn the fundamentals of science storytelling and mixed media presentation of ideas. A requirement of this class is participation in blogs, participation in discussions of physiology research, and creation of a science-based story to share with the class. Enrollment limited to 10. Prerequisites: HB135 or consent of instructor.
