Exercise Physiology Biology 412; Undergraduate 3 Credit Hours Fall 2021 Professor: Robert H. Coker, PhD, FACSM, FTOS Office: 323 D Margaret Murie Building Office Hours: By appointment Overview: Basic anatomy and physiology is a core competency that is necessary for the study of exercise physiology. The primary focal points of this course are directed at the neural, cardiorespiratory, skeletal, muscular systems, and how they respond and/or adapt to the stress of acute and chronic exercise. The complex interaction between environmental stressors on exercise performance will also be covered. This course will provide a solid foundation for advanced study in the field of exercise physiology. Catalog Description: Physiological responses and adaptation to exercise, emphasizing energy metabolism, adipose and lean tissue, central and peripheral components of oxidative metabolism, and the environmental influences on these parameters. Prerequisites: BIOL 213X and 214X; or BIOL 310; or permission of instructor. Course Objectives: 1. Demonstrated knowledge of the acute responses and chronic adaptations to aerobic and resistance exercise. 2. Demonstrated knowledge of the physiological assessments for muscular and cardiorespiratory responses to exercise. 3. Introduction to research methods. Textbook and Registration: Powers S, Howley E, Quindry J. Exercise Physiology: Theory and Application to Fitness and Performance, Eleventh Edition. Connect Access Care for Exercise Physiology by Powers, Howley and Quindry, 11th edition: 9781265497125; price = $60.00. Instructional Methods: A lecture and discussion-based model will be used in this course. Students will have access to recorded and live lectures via Canvas. Students will also have dedicated time for discussion and review of all materials, Students will be given the opportunity to answer questions posed by the Professor. As part of the requirements of the course, students will also make a one brief presentation of a research article that specifically relates to the current section of the course (ie., respiratory, muscle, etc.) during time designated for class discussion at the end of the semester. Grading: Undergraduate Student performance will be based on three primary components for undergraduates: 1) exams, 2) quizzes, and 3) oral presentation. The sum of these three components = 100 points. Calculation of Grade: In brief, A = 90-100, B = 80-89, C = 70-79, D = 65-69, F = 64 or below. The grade in the course will be based on the accumulation of 100 possible points described above. Exams: Four exams will be given during the course, including a final exam. One of these exams will be administered and graded prior to mid-term so that students can accurately assess their initial performance in the course. Each exam will be worth 20 possible points for undergraduates. All exams will be “take-home” and provided via Canvas on the date of the exam (ie., 09/08, 09/24, 10/20, and 12/05 at 12:00 PM) and submitted via email to Dr. Coker at rcoker@alaska.edu or through Connect within 72 hours. Quizzes: Ten quizzes will be given. Each quiz will be worth one point. These quizzes are designed to promote attendance to recorded lectures and reinforce acquisition of core objectives. Oral Presentation: Worth 10 points towards the final grade, each student will present one research article in the field of exercise physiology. This article will be specifically relevant to the section discussed. Students will cover the rationale, methods, results and discussion sections of the article. Honor Code and Plagiarism: Students will be expected to uphold the UAF standard of conduct for students relating to academic dishonesty. Students will assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work submitted by them during the course. For the student code or additional information, please use the following URL http://www.uaf.edu/catalog/current/academics/regs3.html UAF Disabilities Services: The Office of Disability Services implements the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and insures that UAF students have equal access to the campus and course materials. I will work with the Office of Disabilities Services (203 WHIT, 474- 7043) to provide reasonable accommodation to students with disabilities. ** If students require any assistance due to documented disability, please make the Professor award of this important need by the 2nd week of semester, and they will make the necessary accommodations.
