To provide the student with the fundamental knowledge of clinical exercise physiology as a variant of normal exercise physiology, which will enable the student to apply this knowledge in preventive and rehabilitative exercise programs.
Course Description
Basic didactic information and laboratory experiences of the effect of pathophysiologic conditions on human energy metabolism and health. The focus will be on organ systems and their linkage to ATP generating pathways and on how this influences skeletal muscle performance. The application is to the use of exercise both diagnostically and as a therapeutic tool. After this course the student will have the fundamental knowledge and skills to use exercise in different patient populations, such as patients with cardiopulmonary/metabolic disease and to work cooperatively with health care providers.
