KNPE 327 Exercise Physiology Laboratory Units: 3.00
A laboratory experience designed to establish understanding of, and technical skills in, the measurement of human physiological responses and performance capacity in exercise. Students will develop familiarity with tests of physiological function during rest and exercise in preparation for work in human performance, clinical and medical settings.
Learning Hours: 126 (24 Lecture, 36 Laboratory, 6 Individual Instruction, 12 Online Activity, 48 Private Study)
Requirements: Prerequisite Level 3 or above and registration in a KINE Plan and KNPE 125/3.0, KNPE 225/3.0, and KNPE 227/3.0.
Offering Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe the physiological responses to exercise that influence performance capacity.
- Organize and conduct human performance capacity assessments to obtain valid and reliable responses and measures.
- Integrate knowledge of laboratory and field performance capacity assessments to distinguish the contexts and populations that are most suited for each assessment.
- Investigate exercise physiology and exercise testing literature to explore advances in exercise testing techniques and the interpretation of physiological responses.
