Courses
BBS 5060 Neuromuscular Responses and Adaptation to Exercise
A review of the physiology of muscle contraction in addition to in-depth discussion of topics related to the field which include: the relationship between muscle activation and respiration during exercise, muscle fatigue, eccentric versus concentric contractions and adaptation to strength training. Prerequisite: BBS 5068
BBSR 4054 Human Anatomy and Physiology (This will change to BBS4054)
This is an introductory survey course of the human physiology with content in anatomy of major organ systems. Suitable for a wide variety of professionals in fields that involve science, movement sciences, kinesiology, nursing, health, nutrition, and the arts.
BBSR 4095 Applied Physiology I
Recommended: previous coursework in human physiology. This course is the first of a two-semester sequence of the study of the physiological bases of exercise. Lectures concerning the effects of acute and chronic exercise on the major physiological systems (cellular, cardiovascular, thermoregulatory, pulmonary, renal, body fluids, hormonal) with a focus on application to practice.
BBSR 4195 Applied Physiology Lab I
This course will provide students with the theoretical background and practical laboratory and field-based skills to collect data related to human physiology and performance. This course will help students learn to identify appropriate tests to address specific needs of various participants. The emphasis of the course is on hands-on laboratory experience. Topics include body composition, risk assessment, and hemodynamics.
BBSR 5194 Applied Physiology Laboratory II
This course will provide students with the theoretical background and practical laboratory and field-based skills to collect data related to human physiology and performance. This course will help students learn to identify appropriate tests to address specific needs of various participants. The emphasis of the course is on hands-on laboratory experience. Topics include cardiorespiratory fitness, metabolic testing, anaerobic testing, and field tests.
BBSR 5195 Advanced Applied Physiology Laboratory
Prerequisite: BBSR 5194. Introduction of advanced physiologic measurement techniques and concepts. Included are indirect calorimetry, spectrophotometry, vascular volume dynamics, autonomic reflexes, thermoregulation, noninvasive cardiac output, computer data plethysmography, tonometry, acquisition, and post-acquisition analyses. Lab fee: $100.
BBSR 5595 Research Seminar in Applied Physiology
Research training for students in Applied Physiology (PhD, EDD, EDM, and M.A.) carrying out research projects. Content includes presentations, research writing, ethics, and other topics that may vary from semester to semester.
