GMEX 1101Advanced Exercise Physiology
This course will broaden student’s understanding of exercise physiology through study of the advanced principles of exercise physiology and exploring the intricate mechanisms that govern human performance, adaptation, and health. Through a blend of theoretical discussions, lectures, and critical analysis of research, students will deepen their understanding of the physiological responses and adaptations to exercise across various populations and conditions. Topics include but are not limited to energy metabolism, muscle physiology, cardiovascular system adaptations, and environmental considerations for exercise.
Those involved will develop knowledge within a broad scope of chronic illnesses and learn how the physiological aspect of a disease is inseparable from the development of a targeted clinical exercise program. Students will understand how to adopt a healthy lifestyle in order to effectively manage disease processes, and also how to efficiently improve aerobic endurance and those aspects of programmed exercise necessary for success. After learning the process of careful evaluation, students will become knowledgeable about the benefits of whole-body strength and its place in the overall exercise programming. The ultimate importance of coordination, flexibility, agility and balance will be taught in conjunction as well. These topics, along with others, will be incorporated to enable those with, or at risk for, a chronic disease to become functioning members of our society.
This course will provide students the advanced knowledge and practical skills necessary for conducting comprehensive exercise testing protocols and designing individualized exercise programs. Through a combination of lectures, laboratory sessions, case studies, and practical experiences, students will gain expertise in assessing body composition, cardiovascular and muscular fitness, identifying cardiovascular risk factors, and developing safe and effective exercise programs for diverse populations. Protocols and procedures utilized in this course will reflect recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine.
This course is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience necessary to conduct high-quality research in the field of exercise science. Through a combination of theoretical instruction, critical analysis of research literature, and project-based learning, students will develop a deep understanding of research design, methodology, data analysis techniques, and ethical considerations specific to exercise science research.
This is one of two required research readiness courses, designed to prepare students for the application of statistical methods to problems in exercise science. The goal of the course is to teach students to understand, confidently interpret, and apply a variety of statistical methods and research designs that are essential in exercise science research. The focus is on statistical methods to measure the impact of some potential cause (e.g., an intervention, a change in training program, external conditions, or nutrition) on some outcome (e.g., athletic performance, sleep, weight, etc.).
This course provides an in-depth exploration of the role of nutrition in optimizing athletic performance, enhancing recovery, and supporting the health and well-being of athletes. Through a blend of scientific principles, practical applications, case studies, and hands-on experiences, students will delve into advanced concepts in macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, supplementation, and nutrition periodization for athletes across various sports and performance levels.
This course will explore the psychological principles, theories, and techniques that influence athletic performance, motivation, and well-being. Through a combination of theoretical lectures, practical applications, case studies, and experiential learning, students will delve into the intricacies of sport psychology, examining the psychological factors that impact athletes, teams, coaches, and sport organizations.
This seminar-style course provides an in-depth exploration of current trends, methodologies, and challenges in exercise science, while also fostering critical thinking, scholarly discussion, and the development of research skills. Additionally, this course will provide a structured review of main concepts, theories, and knowledge skill sets in the field of Exercise Science in preparation of the comprehensive exam.
