LABORATORY TECHNIQUES IN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY

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 555

In-depth look at how technology is changing the way we assess physical activity, help people return from injury, and increase physical performance. Topics include field-based testing, athlete monitoring, and movement screenings. Exposure to the most popular technologies in the field of human performance. Upper level elective in Kinesiology that builds on concepts acquired in the Kinesiology core curriculum. Offers real-world application of these concepts to students.
