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.
