EHS 386: Exercise Physiology I Laboratory

This course utilizes laboratory experiences to illustrate topics taught in EHS 385 - Exercise Physiology I. Specific labs include: 1) measuring work and power, 2) field tests of aerobic and anaerobic capacity, 3) muscle fatigue and relationships between muscle force, velocity and power, 4) the measurement of oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production and the respiratory exchange ratio, 5) Oxygen deficit and excess post exercise oxygen consumption, 6) direct test of maximal aerobic power, 7) heart rate and blood pressure response to exercise, 8) the ventilator response to exercise, 9) body temperature and exercise, and 10) substrate utilization during exercise.
