Learning Outcomes
Outcome
Examine cardiovascular, muscular, and respiratory systems and how they are neurologically and hormonally controlled.
Outcome
Summarize basic events and products of glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and beta-oxidation as they relate to the synthesis of ATP.
Outcome
Describe how metabolic pathways are impacted during exercise.
Outcome
Desribe events of contraction and relaxation of cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle.
Outcome
Explain the mechanisms behid the regulation of blood pressure as it relates to the heart and circulatory system.
Outcome
Recognize mechanisms underlying acute and chronic responses to aerobic exercise with emphasis on cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, metabolic, endocrine, and immune systems in trained and untrained individuals.
Outcome
Identify causes of muscle fatigue and how it relates to mode, intensity, duration, and the accumulative effects of exercise.
Outcome
Summarize the phases and events that take place during the cardiac cycle.
Outcome
Compare and contrast acute, chronic, static, and dynamic responses to the following variables: heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, pulmonary ventilation, tidal volume, and arteiovenous oxygen difference.
Outcome
Describe physiological events that result in delayed onset muscles soreness and its impact on performance.
