| PEP 326: Fundamentals of Exercise Physiology Division of Physical Performance and Development Instructor: Len Kravitz, Ph.D. Graduate Assistant: Chris Frankel, M.S. Semester: Summer 2003 Meeting Times: MTWRF 11:40 am – 1:40 pm: Room B100 Office: Johnson Center 1160, Phone 277-4136, Messages 277-5151 Email: lkravitz@unm.edu Web Site: www.unm.edu/~lkravitz (go to UNM then to Exercise Phys 326) Office Hrs: M 1:40 pm - 2:40 pm and by appointment Prerequisites: Biology 237-247L, Biology 238-248L Course Description: Exercise physiology is an evaluation of the acute and chronic adaptations of the body to the stresses of exercise. Rationale: The initial study of exercise physiology requires the student to have prior competency in basic human anatomy and physiology. Emphasis in this course utilizes this information to focus on how the body (and its systems) responds to the differing types of intensities of exercise. For students who wish to pursue further studies in exercise physiology, a thorough mastery of this fundamental information is extremely important and provides the foundation for more advanced study in exercise bioenergetics, biochemistry and physiology. This course is closely associated with the College of Education Mission in "the study and practice of education through teaching, research, and service." It is the goal of the Exercise Science Program and College of Education to "prepare students for participation in a complex and challenging society." The mission of the college of education is posted at: www.unm.edu/~educ/mission.htm Course Objectives: To acquire, 1. Knowledge of the acute and chronic physiological changes that occur in the body in response to exercise stress. 2. Knowledge in the performance, understanding and interpretation of basic physiological assessment such as indirect calorimetry, muscular fitness and cardiovascular analyses. 3. An appreciation of research in exercise physiology. Textbook Wilmore, J.H, & Costill, D. L. (1999). Physiology of Sport and Exercise (2nd Ed.) Human Kinetics. Instructional Strategies The instructor will use the following strategies during the course of instruction: Computerized/digital lecture presentations Computerized/digital oral/written quizzes Web-based study Class discussion Demonstrations and laboratory experiences CD ROM self-paced learning ••The CD ROMs are available in Johnson Center’s Main Office ••Go to any one of the office secretarys to check out a CD ROM ••You will have to provide a current student ID to check out the CD ROM Evaluation: Exam I 20 pts Exam II 20 pts Exam III 20 pts Exam IV Final Exam 20 pts NOTE: Final Exam (IV) is Last Day of Class Quizzes 15 pts Lab Reports (3 ) 5 pts Quizzes: Daily quizzes. This is support for formative evaluation which has been shown to improve final student outcomes. Note: No make-ups on exams, quizzes or labs without written medical (or similar) excuse. Extra Credit: Throughout the semester several opportunities will be made available for students to attain extra credit (such as the participation in research activities, class projects, special assignments and viewing of Interactive Physiology CD modules) Grading Scale
Academic Integrity: Academic dishonesty defined from the UNM Student Code of Conduct: “dishonesty in quizzes, tests or assignments; claiming credit for work not done or done by others; hindering the academic work of other students; misrepresenting academic or professional qualifications within or without the University; and nondisclosure or misrepresentation in filling out applications or other University records." The Exercise Science faculty supports the importance of academic integrity. A student violating academic dishonesty guidelines will receive an “F” for the course. A second violation will result in the student being withdrawn from the Exercise Science program. Lab Reports: For each lab report, students will turn in a lab report. Please BULLET each section. More instructional guidelines for the lab will be introduced with the actual laboratory. Introduction: Up to 150 words describing the physiological component of the lab. Methods: Describe in detail what went on in the lab. Conclusions: Up to 150 words discussing the findings and outcome of the lab. Special Needs: Qualified students with special needs should see the instructor as soon as possible. Professional Courtesy: Please make sure you turn off all cellular phones and audio-activated pagers in class. Students are expected to be on time for class and stay till the end of class. Laboratory Attire: All students should bring comfortable workout gear for the laboratory experiences. Laboratory Reports: Laboratory reports are due on the date specified. No late papers will be accepted. Students must be present at labs to receive credit for the report. Scholarly Questions, Analytical Thinking, and Interactive Quizzes: Daily study questions and quizzes will be posted on the web site that are intended to help students prepare for the exams. www.unm.edu/~lkravitz (go to UNM then go to Exercise Phys 326). The scholarly questions and analytical thinking section is directly from lecture. The interactive quizzes are directly from assigned readings in the text.
