| Course description: | This course is designed as a detailed study of the structural and function of the human cardiovascular system during the stresses of exercise. The course will cover the fundamental understanding of normal physiology functions and adaptations to acute and chronic aerobic exercise in addition to resistance training. The students will learn clinical techniques for measuring cardiovascular function and potential changes associated with aging and some pathological conditions. Key information from anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical medicine is integrated into the discussions. This is an upper division/graduate course requiring an advanced understanding of several areas of science such as cardiovascular anatomy and physiology. Prior knowledge of human physiology would be useful. Prerequisites: BIOL 2210/L and BIOL 2225/L. Recommended: BIOL 424/L, HPE 313) (Even Su). |
