HHP-443 Physiology of Exercise II

This course will build on HHP-343 and will examine the physiological changes that occur with exercise at the molecular and cellular level with particular emphasis on the autonomic nervous system, receptor physiology, and cellular metabolism. Students will learn how energy is converted from food into useable energy in the cell and which food group is primarily used for every level of exercise, from resting through extreme intensity. They will also learn the ergogenic effect of drugs and stimulants and how these products affect performance, especially on the endocrine and renal systems. Prerequisite: HHP-343, Corequisite: HHP-443L
