KIN 200 - Physiology of Exercise

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-2)

An introduction to acute physiological responses to exercise and chronic adaptations to training. Prerequisite: KIN 101. Note: Credit will be granted for only one of KIN 200 or PEDS 200.

KIN 413 - Cardiopulmonary Exercise Physiology

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

This course focuses on the functions, control and integration of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. It is designed to increase the student's knowledge of regulation and integration of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in health and disease. Responses and adaptations to acute and chronic exercise will be used as a foundation upon which the concepts of control and integration will be explored. Clinical applications (e.g. exercise, high altitude) and pathophysiology (e.g. type 2 diabetes, heart disease) will be reviewed. Prerequisite: KIN 200. Note: Credit will be granted for only one of KIN 413 or PEDS 413.

KSR 514 - Physiology and Performance in Sport

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 0-3S-0)

This course provides students with a survey of selected topics in exercise physiology with an emphasis on the application to sport and the planning practices employed by coaches. The course will normally include the study of metabolic, cardiorespiratory, neuromuscular and environmental physiology with reference to training and competition across a variety of sporting contexts. As well, possible topics may include the discussion of a variety of contemporary physiological issues related to coaching such as: sex-based differences in fitness norms for sport performance, ergogenic aids, and the place of experiential knowledge in enhancing sport performance. Note: Credit will be granted for only one of KSR 514, KIN 514, PEDS 514, or KSR 787.
