Course description: Human physiological response and adaptation to the effects of physical activity, conditioning, and training programs. Exercise implications for both health and human performance. Prerequisites Biology 234, 235, & 236.

Objectives: To develop an understanding of how the body responds to acute and chronic exercise. Specifically the student will: a) describe the various systems and anatomical structures of the body and discuss the effects of exercise and rest on each; b) describe both athletes and non-athletes in physiological terms, and recognize the limitations and potential of training programs for each group; c) write training programs for the development of each physiological system, list and evaluate the equipment used to train these systems; d) evaluate basic physiological functions related to performance, and use these data to modify training programs and predict performance; e) discuss current controversies in ergogenic aids, diet, food supplements, gender differences, aging, altitude, environment, etc. in terms of athletic performance.

Study Instructions: Read assignments ahead of discussion. Extensive notes should be taken. Power Point Presentations are available prior to each lecture in the ‘PE 473’ class folder on the "K drive" after logging-on, on campus, using your campus user-name and password.

Evaluation: A mid-term and final examination over the lecture and text will comprise 60% of the grade. Additional quizzes may be added to this total. The final exam will be given at the approved University time and date only; no early or late tests will be administered. 30% of the grading total will come from lab assignments. Classroom participation is worth 10% of your grade in this course. To receive full participation credit you must attend class having prepared by becoming familiar with the materials relevant to the days topic. Your questions and comments should reflect that preparation. All work handed in late will be discounted at the rate of 10% each day (no late labs accepted after they have been graded and returned to the class).

This class will follow standard University procedures for grading, issuing of incompletes, and academic integrity. Academic dishonesty is defined as the intentional act of deception in one of the following areas: cheating, fabrication, assisting, tampering, and plagiarism.

Grading Scale

100-93% = A	92-90% = A-	89-88% = B+	87-83% = B	82-80% = B-	79-78% = C+
77-73% = C	72-70% = C-	69-68% = D+	67-63% = D	62-60 = D-	59-0% = F
