EXNS 5133 - Laboratory Techniques in Exercise Physiology (3) Summer

This course will introduce students to laboratory techniques common in a graduate Exercise Physiology Human Performance Laboratory. Students will engage in laboratory sessions designed to analyze cardiovascular function (metabolic and EKG), strength and power performance (isokinetic, Wingate and EMG) and body composition assessment (BIA, Air Displacement Plethysmography-Bod Pod, skin fold). Laboratory principles will be problem based, meaning students will be presented with research questions and then guided to problem solve using appropriate laboratory equipment. Course assignments may be required prior to and after the scheduled class meeting times.
