Kinesiology 697Z - ST- Muscle Biochemistry

This course will provide students with knowledge of multiple aspects of skeletal muscle physiology. The material will include information about the basics of muscle contraction, as well as integration of muscle activation, bioenergetics and contractile function. Special emphasis will be given to the mechanisms of muscle fatigue under a variety of conditions, and an understanding of how muscle physiology is altered by disease will be developed. Laboratory-based learning opportunities will be provided.
