This course describes the physiological, behavioral and biomechanical effects of physical exercise. It builds upon the student's basic background in human physiology particularly in the areas of neuromuscular coordination and strength, cardiovascular fitness, respiratory and nutritional support, and hormonal and ph balance. The consequence of physical conditioning on these systems is also emphasized while also discussing the effects human factors and environmental factors have on physical performance.
