PHYSIOLOGY OF EXERCISE

KINES 115

Humans are capable of achieving astonishing performances in athletics, in work and in other extraordinary situations. These extraordinary performances often provide important insights into physiological processes and their limits. This course integrates information from biology, chemistry, psychology, mechanics, etc., to understand the factors that determine and limit human performance from the molecular level all the way up to whole body movement. The emphasis in the class is on using case studies to investigate physiological processes underlying movement, exercise, and performance.

KINES 121

Introduction to physical education teaching, movement education, and an operational understanding of the scientific study of human movement. Lecture and lab.

KINES 308

Provides a comprehensive study of biomechanical foundations and principles underlying physical activity. Topics include musculoskeletal determinants of human movement, analysis of sports skills, feedback, and cueing techniques. Includes descriptions and applications of biomechanical concepts related to skillful movement, physical activity, and fitness.

KINES 614

Explore the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms of the body's response to both acute and chronic exercise. Examine the body's physiological responses to environmental stressors such as heat, cold, and hypoxia. Gain an in-depth understanding of advanced exercise physiology concepts through the analysis of research publications.

KINES 350

Emphasis on the psychological foundations of exercise with motivational techniques, perception of effort, personality dynamics, and mental health serving as the focal points.
