PEP 326: Fundamentals of Exercise Physiology
Division of Physical Performance and Development
Instructor: Len Kravitz, Ph.D.
Semester: Spring 2002
Meeting Times: MWF 11:00 am – 11:50 am, 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: Mon. 2:00 – 4:30 pm; Wed. 2:00 – 4:30 pm and by appointment
Prerequisites: Biology 237-247L is REQUIRED, (Biology 238-248L is recommended)
Course Description:
Exercise physiology is an evaluation of the acute responses 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.

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 secretaries to check out a CD ROM
You will have to provide a current student ID to check out the CD ROM
We use the Macintosh Computer for these self-paced learning sessions

Quizzes: Daily quizzes. This is support for formative evaluation, which has been shown to improve final student outcomes. You must stay for class to get quiz credit.
Note: No make-ups on exams, quizzes or labs without WRITTEN medical (or equivalent, such as athletic team away game, scheduled wedding) 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)

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 support 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 and of course, DO YOUR OWN WORK! 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.
Laboratory Reports Extra Inf.: 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.
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.
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 introduce important concepts of exercise physiology that may or may not be covered in the lecture or text. Students are responsible for all material presented in lecture.
